March Action Steps

  1. Determine how much water your household will need to survive 30 days.
  2. Make a plan - how you will either get or store the water.
  3. Purchase any needed supplies and if you are storing water for the first time, set a 6-month reminder to check your supply for drinkability. 

Water – why is it so darned important?

We  need water to survive beyond a few days.  Besides drinking, water is needed for many food preparations, as well as medical needs such as cleanliness and wound disinfection.  Supply lines may be ruptured in an earthquake, power loss will disable pumps, and it may be days before any emergency systems can become operational.  

We strongly recommend that you store at least three days of water for your household, regardless your long-term sourcing plans.  One way to do that inexpensively is with 5-gallon water jugs, available at many stores locally.
