AN74 / PREPARE FOR TOMORROW
Take stock of your water supplies
Record quantities, storage locations and dates before buying containers.
Separate storage from treatment
A filter is not a water reserve. First record the drinking water you have and your household’s needs using local official guidance. Do not size the whole reserve around the volume of a backpack.
Keep a record for each location
Record container type, quantity and storage instructions. Follow manufacturer guidance and keep access simple. Choose quantities you can move comfortably. Do not assume an undocumented container is suitable for food contact.
Know what evidence can establish
Clear water is not necessarily safe to drink. A filter demonstration video does not establish health-related performance. Any future product selection must examine technical documentation and specific limits. This organisational guide does not provide water treatment instructions.
