Having a store of clean drinking water is one of the most important and crucial components of resiliency building and emergency preparedness.  It has been said many times that a person can live for three weeks without food but only three days without water.  There are many emergency situations and events that can cause your everyday water supply to become unavailable or undrinkable.  The unexpected natural disaster or perfect storm will typically wreak havoc on the powergrid. When widespread power outages occur, water may not flow from the tap, or treatment plants may not be working to properly treat and deliver safe water. It is events like these that we all must prepare for.  Here we explore ways to ensure you are prepared to meet these types of situations without much effort or concern.
