19 If this were an actual emergency, what would you do? If All of this lasts for 72 hours 30 days 6 months 1 year: How will you react? How will others react? How will you provide for your family, maintain security, and ensure your freedom?

20 More importantly, what are you willing to do before the emergency strikes?

22 Emergency preparedness is not a collection of supplies, but a mind set that encourages you to anticipate challenges and avoid potentially negative affects through advanced planning Developing a pool of knowledge and honing your emergency response skills will make you better able to protect your family when the need arises.

23 Following checklists and purchasing supplies can be a great help in an emergency, but knowing why something is on the list, and how to get the most out of it, can be even more important.

24 Emergency planning cannot wait. It is something that should have been started yesterday. Today may be too late, and putting it off until tomorrow may cost you your freedom. Waiting until a disaster strikes to make preparations is the surest way to lose control of your life and become dependent on others.

situation when finding potable water may not be easy, the question

32 Knowing that water is by far the most important nutrient for the human body (besides oxygen) and, in particular, during a survival situation when finding potable water may not be easy, the question becomes - just how long can the human body survive without adequate water?

To maintain a high level of health and efficiency even in ideal environments, a minimum of two quarts of clean water per day per person is the generally accepted rule of

33 To maintain a high level of health and efficiency even in ideal environments, a minimum of two quarts of clean water per day per person is the generally accepted rule of thumb. In very hot or cold or very dry environments, or if you are physically active, two quarts of water a day may not be enough to sustain life over a period of days or weeks.

35 General Store a minimum of 2 quarts per day, per person, for personal consumption. Store a minimum of 2 gallons per day, per person, to satisfy personal consumption, cooking, and sanitation needs. Locate stored water only where potential leakage will not damage your home or apartment. Protect stored water from light and heat.

36 Municipal Water Supply Under normal conditions, water from a chlorinated municipal water supply will not need any further treatment and can be stored in clean (preferably sterile), food-grade containers. If the municipal water supply has been contaminated, the water must be treated before storage or consumption.

37 Commercially Packaged Water - Commercially bottled water in polyethylene terephthalate ( PETE ) plastic containers may be purchased and stored for emergency use. PETE containers are onetime use containers - do not refill them. Follow the container s best if used by dates as a rotation guideline.

Self-Storage Chlorinated municipal water can be stored safely under the following conditions: Use only food-grade containers made of PETE plastic or high-density polyethylene ( HDPE ) plastic.

38 Self-Storage Chlorinated municipal water can be stored safely under the following conditions: Use only food-grade containers made of PETE plastic or high-density polyethylene ( HDPE ) plastic. (HDPE #2, #4, and #5 are the safest for long-term storage.) 55 gallon drums are the most economical. Prepare a sanitizing solution by adding 1 teaspoon of liquid household chlorine bleach (5 to 6% sodium hypochlorite) to one quart of water. Use bleach without thickeners, scents, or additives. Clean, sanitize, and thoroughly rinse all containers prior to use. Do not use plastic milk jugs. They do not clean or seal well, and become brittle over time. Do not use containers previously used to store non-food products (such as cleaning solutions). Containers should be emptied and refilled at least once a year.

They should filter to a minimum of 0.3 microns and be able to produce at least 200 gallons.

39 Water Filtration (Removes most particles, chemicals, and bacteria, but will not remove all viruses) Personal Filters Small, portable, hand-pumped filters, manufactured by Katadyn, are available for short-term personal use. They should filter to a minimum of 0.3 microns and be able to produce at least 200 gallons. Family Filters For larger scale water filtration, counter-top, gravity-fed filters can provide up to 4 gallons of water per day without pumping. Katadyn and Berkey manufacture quality counter-top filters

40 Water Purification (Kills bacteria and viruses, but will not remove particles or chemicals) Chemical - Non-chlorinated water should be treated with bleach. If the water is cloudy or has debris in it, run the water through a coffee filter first. Add 1/8 of a teaspoon (8 drops) of liquid household chlorine bleach (5 to 6% sodium hypochlorite, no scents or additives) for every gallon of water, ¼ cup per 55-gallon drum. Boiling - Boil water for at least one full minute at a full boil. Cool before using.

Getting started: Short-term food storage Much of what sits in your cupboards and pantry right now are foods that can be stored for the short-term (3 months to 2 years).

42 Getting started: Short-term food storage Much of what sits in your cupboards and pantry right now are foods that can be stored for the short-term (3 months to 2 years). If you are beginning a food storage program the bulk of your food should sit in this category. There is a saying Store what you eat and eat what you store. I am a big believer in this as common everyday foods compared to many specialty long-term foods are relatively inexpensive and readily available at your local grocery store.

Begin building your food storage by buying 2 3 extra items every time

43 A well-stocked three-month pantry allows you to cook and enjoy most recipes without running to the store! Begin building your food storage by buying 2 3 extra items every time you shop at the grocery store. A few cans here, some bags and boxes there, and it will begin to add up.
