Emergency Food

Keep extra foods that the family likes and is easy to prepare with a minimum of water. Try to avoid foods high in salt or sugar, they create an unnatural thirst. Eat perishables from the refrigerator first then the freezer. Food Bars are great for kits and the desk at work. They store well in the heat so they do fine in the trunk of your car. They should not be used in place of real food.

Families: A family of four would need approximately 28 gals. for 1 week, or 56 gals. for 2 weeks. A minimum of one gallon per person per day for at least seven days, preferably fourteen days for drinking and hygiene. Store tap water in approved barrels (airtight) and treat with "Water Preserver" for five year storage.

Schools: To provide each student with 4 oz. of water per waking hours (12 hrs.) for 3 days would require a school with a population of 500 students to store ten 55 gallon barrels of water. If part of the student population left school within the first 24 hours that amount could be reduced.

Do not buy or use used barrels. They are cheap, but cannot be recycled as water storage because you cannot completely remove what was previously stored in the barrel. Be it fruit juice concentrate or coke syrup, the remaining residue is in the plastic which will result in a fungus growth inside the barrel.

We do not recommend using bleach. It is not intended for human consumption or designed for long term water storage. Do not use old bleach bottles as they are not designed for long term emergency water storage and any bleach residue does not provide any benefits. Bleach is a solution for those who have not prepared for an emergency.

Emergency Water Storage
(shelf life of Water Storage)
All water has bacteria in it, unless it has been purified and sterilized prior to packaging. Bacteria grows with heat and light. After a few months the bacteria can reach levels that could make you ill. To ensure safe drinking water and to increase the shelf life of your water storage and to avoid rotating and dumping your water storage every six months, plan to pre-treat your emergency water storage with a product called "Water Preserver" for a 5 yr. storage. If you do not treat your water, the options are to boil water at a roll for at least 5 minutes. If you don't have natural gas or electricity following the disaster your other option would be to use Water Purification Tablets. Keep "Water Purification Tablets" on hand to treat any untreated or questionable water. One tablet will treat one quart of water. Never store water in milk type plastic containers (as they are made from breathable plastic, designed to break down in our landfills ) in the garage because any fumes from vehicles, paints, solvents, pesticides will contaminate your storage. Do not store any of those type of containers on concrete as that can leach into your water storage.

Barrel Package

Order Now 55 gals, barrel $65.00 Order Now Water Pump $22.95		55 gal. Water Barrel Built for Water Storage. This 55 gal. barrel is the safe way to store large amounts of water for Business, Schools and Home. Don't forget treatment, pump & wrench. 4-8 oz. Hand Pump This is not a siphon pump which can cause you to lose a great deal of water during distribution. The better alterative is a pump which delivers either 4 or 8 oz. per stroke.	Along with the 55 gal. Barrel you will need to treat the water with EPA approved "Water Preserver". This will provide you with safe water storage for 5 years. You will need 1 Water Preserver per barrel. To get the water out of the barrel, you will need a Bung Wrench to remove the airtight caps which keep your water storage safe. To remove the water for drinking I recommend a Hand Water Pump. This pump adjusts to 4 oz. or 8 oz. per stroke. TIP: When rationing water, ration it at a rate of 4 oz. per hour. The body cannot absorb more than 4 oz. in an hour for hydration purposes. Warning: Don't buy Siphon Pumps unless you plan on draining your barrel. A siphon pump removes water very quickly, resulting in a lot of waste. It is very difficult to control the flow.
