On-screen text

You need 3 MONTHS of stored water. 1/2 gallon per person, per day. That is JUST for drinking. That does NOT include water needed for cooking or for hygiene purposes. Keep in mind that it takes a LOT of water to cook rice, beans, and pasta. Keep extra stored just for that if you dont have plenty of ready to eat foods. EXAMPLE: A family of 3 would need 135 gallons to last 3 months JUST to drink. When the grid goes down there will be no electric, no running water, no plumbing, no working appliances like stoves, no gas stations, no propane fillups, and no stores to shop at for food & water.
