Emergency Water

The government recommends every home have at least three days of food and water and a to go bag for each person.  My mom taught me to keep a few weeks worth of food especially can goods with their own water.

 Above shows a corner of our basement with 5 gallons and a half, I am refilling the 6th gallon in this shot.  Plus, the water heater has 40 gallons of water as well plus what is in the pipes.

 In this above photo the back wall in this upstairs storage area is lined with full gallon water jugs.  We also keep potatoes and filters to our Zero Water and Britta Water pitchers.

 Above is an old camp solar shower we can fill and have enough water for us to have at least one quick shower each while the power is out.

When the weather turns bad or other issues threaten we also fill our other water pitchers as well.  Here power failures often occur during a thaw as well as the initial storms.

We also have a portable propane heater and several propane bottles as well as our Motor Home which is always ready to go minus the water.  A food tote is always ready to be put in the RV for a weekend getaway as well.
