When disaster strikes, water is a non-negotiable emergency essential. Your body needs enough hydration to stay healthy so that you can properly navigate a dangerous situation. When resources are short, and you are dealing with a crisis, it is easy to feel anxious and overwhelmed; but not if you’ve prepared ahead of time.
When You Need Emergency Water
A reliable supply of emergency water is a crucial resource in any natural disaster. Such as:
- A tornado
- An earthquake
- A flood
- A hurricane
- A Wildfire
- Or other
How You Lose Access to Clean Water
In many cases, a natural disaster can cut off your access to running water, as well as to the grocery store. This means that getting a quick glass of water from the tap or a case of plastic disposable water bottles from the store is often out of the question.
Why You Need Emergency Water
Whether you are in the midst of an emergency, water is one of the most precious resources you can keep on hand. You should ration enough water for:
- Drinking
- First aid situations (like washing dirt out of a wound)
- Hygiene
- Cooking
How Much Water Do I Need?
A good rule of thumb is to keep enough non-perishable water stocked to keep everyone in your household hydrated for at least 72 hours. There may come a time in an emergency when you’ve gone through your water reserves or you're in a situation where you have a water source but need to purify it in order for it to be safe to use. It’s situations like these where having an external purification device will make a huge difference, and could potentially save your life.
