January: Water

Making sure you have enough water for emergencies is your most important concern so it’s where we start our Prepare in a Year journey. You and everyone in your family including pets will need water to stay hydrated. You will need it for sanitation and hygiene.

When disaster strikes, you might lose power or pipes might be broken. Will you still be able to access water?
