Most people never think of it. The ones who do usually don't know you have to shut off its power or gas first and let it cool, or you can damage the tank and scald yourself getting to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's one page of this workbook. There are twelve more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can be cold for three days. You can be hungry for three days. Water is the one that doesn't wait, and it's the only thing on the list with no substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. How much your family actually needs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA gallon per person per day is the number everyone quotes. It's also the number that leaves you short, because it doesn't count washing, cooking, or the toilet. The real math, written out for a real household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The water already hiding in your house.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe heater, the toilet tanks — the tank, never the bowl, and only if you've never used those blue cleaning pucks — and the ice in your freezer. Plus a short list of what looks like water and is not: waterbeds, pool water, the hot tap during a boil notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Storing it the right way.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhat containers keep and what containers spoil, where to put them, and how often to rotate. Most stored water goes bad because of where it was kept, not how long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. The four ways to make water safe.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBoiling, filtering, tablets, and plain household bleach — eight drops per gallon, thirty minutes, and the one bottle in the laundry room that works versus the three that don't. Each method gets what it handles and what it misses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Finding water outside the house.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRain, streams, and standing water: which to take, which to leave, and what to do to it before anyone drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.

The quick card.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOne page. Boil times, bleach ratio, gallons per person.

Where your water lives and how many gallons. Who fills what when a storm gets named. The date you last rotated it and the date you do it next. You write it in and it goes on the fridge — because a plan that only exists in your head is a plan nobody else in the house can use while you're at work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe tell you what our own filters can't do.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe section on filtering covers our Field Straw and Gravitywell, and in the same breath it says what they don't handle: hollow-fiber removes bacteria and protozoa, not viruses and not chemicals. When those are the risk, you boil or use tablets, and the guide says so in the same size type as everything else. Anyone who tells you a straw handles everything is selling you something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou've had a boil notice, or you've read one too many stories about a town that lost its water for two weeks, and you'd like a plan on paper instead of a general sense that you'd figure it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it's not for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no collapse in here, and no chemistry lecture.
