Water is a first priority in the preparedness world, and for good reason.   In as little as three days without water, humans die. Because of this, we talk a lot about water on this blog.  Today we are going to talk about how to attain 100 gallons of emergency water storage in as little as 15 minutes.

100 Gallons Of Emergency Water Storage

How Much Emergency Water Storage Do You Need?

Generally about 8 bottles of bottled water equals one gallon. If there are four people in your family, you’ll need at least 32 bottles of water per day. Cases usually have 24 bottles. For a basic week’s worth of emergency water storage, at one gallon a day, you’d need just under 10 cases. Double that if you want 2 gallons a day per person.

But what if an emergency is imminent, and you can’t get to the store to top off your water storage? What if the stores are out of water?

Why Worry About Preparing?

Preparedness for a disaster makes a lot of sense. With recent and predicted events like Hurricane Sandy, The Colorado Wildfires, Fiscal Cliffs, and rising food and gas costs just in 2012 there is no denying that things are changing in our world. Whether or not you believe "The End of the World As We Know It" is near there are plenty of everyday things to worry about: loss of a job, health emergency, local weather events to name a few.

I find that I worry less about the big "what if's" out there the more emergency planning my family does to deal with the unexpected. I will share the survival tips and tricks I have learned while on this preparedness journey and hope that you join in with lots of comments. We all have a lot to learn from one another.

Now, lets get started prepping! Pick a post and start reading. At the end of every post the blog randomly selects three more survival posts for you to check out. Set aside 10 minutes a day to build your preppers knowledge base. We can never be done learning or prepping, right?
