EMERGENCY SURVIVAL ITEMS & GETAWAY KITS AT HOME

If your house is structurally sound after an emergency event, that is the best place for you to be. However, you could be confined there for some time, so you need to have enough supplies and resources for at least 3 to 5 days.

Talk to your neighbours about what resources you can pool together.

You will need three litres of water per person, per day for drinking, but also some for cooking, washing dishes and personal care.

Water storage containers can be purchased from most outlets but these can sometimes be heavy for smaller or older people. Try storing water in soft drink or juice bottles as they are more available, smaller and easier to handle. Wash bottles thoroughly in hot water, fill till over flowing and store in a cool dark place, replacing them every twelve months. We recommend you boil water before drinking. If unable to do so you can add household bleach to the water (1 x teaspoon per 10 litres of water) or the recommended dosage of aqua tabs. These are available at camping stores.

Note: Do not use scented bleach or brands that have detergents as an additive.

Do not store water in milk bottles. They can never be cleaned well enough and the milk will contaminate the water.
