Will You have Enough Water in a Disaster





I saw that NatGeo special American Blackout and it made me think about what my situation would be if it really happened.

The disaster lasted 10 days in the show but in that amount of time, chaos reigned and people had to move to emergency camps because they did not have enough to live on.  I may have enough food for 10 days, but I sure don't have enough water which made me worry.  I don't have a huge amount of space to store water, but I started revamping my water storage after seeing that show.  I ordered a Berkey water filter to ensure I can purify water if tap water got contaminated or if I had to find another less desirable source.

This is a good article on how to store water in a hurry.  See Modern Survival Blog's

Ways To Quickly Store Water At Home During Disaster


I am going to take these ideas and make a note for myself.

Which Items Disappear First During a Disaster?

I've seen pay sites that promise to tell you which items you should stock up on in a disaster but you can get this list free if you look.

Here's a good article that will tell you which items will get sold out and disappear during a disaster, so now is a good time to start obtaining them:

 100 Items That Disappear First in a Disaster

This weekend, I am going to pick up some of these items to add to the stockpile.  I am starting with the most affordable:  separating the list on items I can get from the dollar store, discount stores like Target or Walmart.  

What are you waiting for- start making your list now!
