Water is essential to life. Making sure that the water we use to cook, drink and even bathe with needs to be as toxin free (and nuclear radiation poisoning free) as possible. You can forget about Brita for radiation in these situations. Brita water filters only remove large particles and the "smell" of chlorine, not the actual chlorine, radiation or any other pathogen. You need Reverse Osmosis, Distillation and some water purification tablets.

In emergency situations there some things you can do to help make sure that the water you are drinking is as safe as possible. The most common thing most people think about is iodine tablets or iodine pills. Potassium Iodine, which is what these pills or tablets are made of, (as well as iodized table salt) is not a good solution at all. Nascent Iodine is the recommended form of iodine.
