Water Supplies
In an emergency, clean water is the highest priority — for drinking, food preparation and hygeine.

  • Store at least one gallon per person and pet per day.
  • Store at least a three-day supply of water for each member of your family and pets.


  • How and Where to Store Water
  • In a cool, dark place in your home, each vehicle and your workplace.

  • Preferably, in factory-sealed water containers.

  • Alternately, in food-grade quality containers made for storing water and available from sporting goods and surplus stores and other retailers. These containers must be thoroughly washed, sanitized and rinsed, and the water you store in them, if it's from your tap, may need to be treated before being stored. Ask your public health service or water provider for information on whether and how to treat the water. Follow those instructions before storing any.


  • Avoid using
  • Water past the expiration or "use by" date on the container. (Element H2O has no expiration date, because it is distilled and oxygenated.)

  • Containers that can't be sealed tightly.

  • Containers that can break, such as glass bottles.

  • Containers that have ever held any toxic substance.

  • Plastic milk bottles and cartons. They are difficult to clean and break down over time.


  • Do
  • Change stored water every six months. (Unless it is Element H2O, becuase it has no expiration date, and it is distilled and oxygenated.)

  • If you choose to use your own storage containers, choose two-liter plastic soft drink bottles.

  • Re-think your needs every year and update your kit as your family needs change.

  • Keep items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers, such as an unused trashcan, camping backpack, or duffel bag.

  • Throw out any item that becomes swollen, dented, or corroded.
