Hurricane Preparation: Water Tips 

It's essential to ensure you have a reliable water supply. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

Indoor Water Storage:

• Fill clean bathtubs and/or sinks with water for household needs.
• Store bottled water, ensuring you have at least one gallon per person per day for at least 10 days.
• Clean and sanitize containers before storing water in them.

Outdoor Water Safety:

• Secure outdoor water tanks and rain barrels to prevent them from being damaged or contaminated.
• Turn off outdoor faucets to prevent flooding and conserve your stored water.

General Tips:

• Have water purification tablets or household bleach (without additives) on hand for emergency water purification.
• Disconnect your spouts to prevent rubble and debris from going into your cistern.

Ensure you are prepared and have enough water for your family's needs during a hurricane. Stay safe and stay hydrated!
