Start with water already on hand

A known stored supply does not depend on weather or electricity at the moment an outage starts. Plan for drinking, cooking, hygiene, pets, and sanitation.

Add treatment capability

Treatment expands the range of water sources you may be able to use, but methods need to match the contaminants involved.

Add a replenishment method

Rain capture or atmospheric collection can supplement storage where conditions support them. Neither should be treated as automatically available every day.

Continue with emergency water storage and collection methods.
