October 19, 2007, Newsletter Issue #138: Drinking water
Tip of the Week
During a Hurricane, water is of prime importance. You need enough for the duration of the hurricane, perhaps two to three days, plus a sufficient amount to cover any subsequent shortage due to broken water mains or contamination. Fill the bathtubs and any other usable containers with drinking water. Before the hurricane strikes, turn-off the water and follow utility advice on what to so about the service lines. This way you can use water already in the lines without fear of contamination.
If you have your supplies up to date, you should have water stored in unbreakable, sealed containers. You should also have on hand water purification tablets or a filtering system. Remember, you will need at least two liters of water per person per day including the family pets.
