2. Water

You must store some water, but how much is enough? It definitely depends on the disaster as well as where you are geographically and your health status. For example, “Covid-19 is not going to impact your ability to walk to the sink and turn on the faucet,” says Tornetta. But it’s not the same thing in case of a hurricane.

In general, you should have one gallon of water per person (and per pet) per day, aiming for a total three days’ supply, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

However, take into consideration that children, mothers who are nursing, people who are sick, and people in warmer climates may need more, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s ready.gov.
