During and after disasters, there are three essential elements that can be difficult to have access to. These are water, food, power and communication. They are the most basic things that people will need. Tropical storms, hurricanes and earthquakes may affect drinking water supply and quality. Thus, it requires careful planning when it comes to emergency drinking water supplies. Not only injured persons will require water but emergency staff as well so they can function properly. During disasters, there is always the possibility of contamination of drinking water.

Identify bottled water suppliers with the capacity to allocate supplies during emergencies. Know how to properly store emergency water. Purified water, which has all contaminants removed via distillation or oxygenation, is not affected by PET packaging and has unlimited shelf life if stored properly. Consider getting US Coast Guard approved water pouches that have a 5-year shelf life.
