I remember a time when I had spent a few days enjoying lots of sunshine (Lake Havasu). It was very hot! Even the blue of the Colorado River could not put out the heat. It was like a hot bath on a hot day. The scorching sun, the activities and the fact that I was a new mom with a nursing baby required that I drink lots of water. But I guess I didn't get enough. I remember the thirst! It was like my mouth was a desert, my breath the hot wind of the Santa Ana's. And bottled water was not even in vogue! It was tap water or no water. Let me tell you it was not pleasant.
What if? What if the store shelves are bare? The water supply interrupted (earthquake, storm outages, excessive heat wave, contamination, HURRICANE, etc.) and you are faced with some sort of water rationing?
The human body needs water first, food second. Now food needs to be there pretty quickly but you will die faster without water than without food. You need a minimum of 1 gallon per day per person in your household. It is recommended that you store 2 weeks worth of water. This doesn't take into consideration cooking water!! So think even more than 1 gallon per day per person. How can it be done?
You might want to try one of these options.
Or maybe this:
All of these practical and potentially lifesaving products can be found through Shelf Reliance emergency preparedness products. For a discount on these items, order directly from my website at DorieSmith.shelfreliance.com
It's not a matter of if a disaster will happen, it's a matter of when. Preparedness now avoids panic later. Your family is more important than gold and at a time of drought, your advance preparation will ensure that you have 'liquid gold'.
