EMERGENCY WATER STORAGE TIPS
Water is necessary for survival and an essential component of emergen-
cy preparedness. Most likely, clean drinking water will not be available
immediately following a disaster. Municipal water supplies may be cut
off or compromised because of damage or contamination. You may not
be where your stored water is located when an emergency occurs. Be
prepared to supply water for yourself and others by having a water
system that can go with you and be quickly set up to provide an
adequate supply of life-saving water wherever you are.
PLAN AHEAD - BE PREPARED
• Plan for 1 gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation
• Store or provide capacity for a 3-6 day supply of water per person
• The elderly, children, and nursing mothers require more water
• Water requirements double in hot temperatures
• Medical situations will require more water
NOTICES

• Never leave unattended while filling tank
• Do not fill unit on tables, shelves or counter tops
• Do not attempt to move the storage tank when full
• Avoid freezing temperatures
• Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods
