Quiz:
How much water should you have in your home
emergency kit?
When was the last time you checked the
expiration date on your emergency water supply?
Were you
able to answer these questions correctly? Many people already know that the Red
Cross recommends storing one gallon of water, per person, per day for three
days as part of a home emergency kit. But many more may not realize that their
water supply could be expired!
What’s the
solution to this drinking dilemma? One California business has the answer. World Grocer has
developed Emergency Canned Drinking Water with a shelf life of 30+ years.
The makers
of this life-saving resource have donated
67 pallets of the specialized canned drinking water to the American Red
Cross Central Valley Region for drought relief efforts. Because of California’s
historic drought conditions, the local Red Cross expects to see a record number
of drought emergencies this year. So it’s more important than ever this summer
to make sure you include water as part of your emergency kit.
