1) Have Specialized Water Storage Containers

Consider having specialized water storage containers that you can use to store water. Store a lot of them if it is possible. Made for potable water or food, these food-grade containers have a tight seal and stack-like blocks for easy storage.

2) Use Hand Sanitizer

Stock up on hand sanitizer. By using hand sanitizer instead of soap and water, you can stretch your water supply a little further during a water outage.

3) Be Less Active

Decrease your activity and keep cool to minimize the amount of water you need to stay hydrated.

4) Clean Laundry

Do laundry ahead of time. If you know you’ll likely be without water, be sure you have enough clean clothes to get you through.

5) Practice Cleaning Without Soap and Water

Stock up on Clorox wipes and hand wipes. Use these for general cleaning instead of soap and water.
