Emergency Drinking Water and Long-Term Water Storage

It is crucial to have some long shelf-life emergency drinking water in storage because access to safe drinking water is essential for survival. In the event of a natural disaster, power outage, or other emergency situations, the regular supply of clean drinking water may become disrupted or contaminated. Having a stockpile of safe and potable water can ensure that you and your family have access to this basic necessity during times of crisis. It is recommended that you store a minimum of one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, but ideally for up to two weeks, to ensure that you have enough water to stay hydrated and maintain good health.
