Water storage is an important part of an overall emergency management and survival strategy. Most municipal water supplies in urban and suburban areas are fragile systems that are very dependent on intact transmission lines (water mains) and an active electrical grid to power pumping equipment. In the event of a major earthquake, fire, terrorist attack, or other disaster, one or both of these key elements could be disabled, bringing the water supply to a standstill. It would be days or weeks before authorities restore water service, making it critically important that you and your family have a reasonable water storage plan in place to survive the event.
