When storing water at home, sanitize bathtubs or other large plastic containers with unscented chlorine bleach. To disinfect water, use one teaspoon of chlorine bleach for every gallon of water stored.
We also suggest freezing blue ice containers to keep family members cool at night.
Other household water uses include mopping floors and washing dirty laundry to maintain sanitation during the hots days that may follow, especially if power is out for days.
Store ample amount of fresh drinking water, at least 2 to 3 gallons per person for each day.
