Week 10

What's the Most Important of All? Water.

Hello, it's me again.
Like the title of this post says, this week, I'm going to talk about the importance of storing water.

We always hear everywhere that you have to store water. That's because without water, you can't live.

According to the LA Emergency Preparedness Booklet, a "rule of thumb" for the amount of water that should be stored is: 5 Gallons per person, MINIMUM.
(Your pets should be thought of as family members when storing water).

Also, many people don't know this, but if you are storing water with plastic water bottles,  do not place them on top of concrete.

This is because the chemicals from the concrete can enter the water through the thin plastic and contaminate it.

So those are just some facts about storing water for emergency preparation.

See you again next week!

Get ready. Now.
