Customer Critiques

The Red Cross and several disaster preparedness organizations in California, such as the Office of Emergency Services and Department of Emergency Management, recommend one gallon of water per individual per day. Given that 64 packets contain just more than 2 gallons of water, this case will last you for two days, or will last a family of two for a single day.
The Red Cross recommends that you have at least three days of water on hand. The California Office of Emergency Services and Department of Emergency Management recommend that you have 5 days of water on hand. As we have seen throughout Katrina and in the Japan earthquake, you can will need over 15 days of water on hand.
Thus, a household of two will need to have up to fifteen situations, and a family members of four will need to have thirty situations.
Safeway sells a gallon sized jug for less than $1.
Hence, you could possibly want to acquire a handful of of these packets for carrying about, but decide to purchase your primary emergency water provide from a less highly-priced source. Even if the packets last for 5 years, it would be far more economical to get standard bottled water from the shop every single two years. Then you can invest the savings on survival/emergency preparedness gear that is actually useful, such as a really good go pack (a single for property and one particular for automobile), sleeping bag, cold and wet weather gear, boots, gloves, eye protection, duct tape, two way communications, etc.
Normally bear in mind that your water heater will offer amongst 20 - 40 gallons of fresh, drinkable water in an emergency. That equates to a 20 - 40 day provide for a single individual, or a ten - 20 day provide for two consumers (once more, one gallon per person per day).

These water packs are a wonderful addition to our vehicle and dwelling emergency kits. No worries about plastic acquiring hot and letting off bad stuff in the water, there is no plastic! They give us peace of mind realizing they are there when we require them and have a 5 year shelf life!
