Emergency Preparedness: Tips for Storing Water
I am starting to store more water due to recent power outages that render our well useless.
Here are some tips:
- Make two types of stored water
- Potable- For drinking and cooking
- Non-potable- For washing and flushing toilets
- Store much more than you think you will need
- Use reliable containers- 5 gallon buckets last and stack nicely too
- Add a little unscented bleach to kill bacteria
- Think about rotating the stock on the drinking water
These are just a few tips to get you started.
Now to get a generator in place so the well will keep working . . .
