Prep Series Week 2: Water (Storage) is Life

This is part two of our ten-part toolkit series providing a step-by-step guide about how to prepare for disaster. This series is co-written by Elizabeth Doerr, Cramming for the Apocalypse founder and writer and Brekke Wagoner, host of the Sustainable Prepping Youtube Channel. Our goal for this series is to push through the cognitive dissonance keeping many people from preparing for disaster. We believe that disaster prep is also a way to build resilience and act of taking responsibility and care of your community. You can find all published articles in the series in the “Resources and Toolkits” section linked at the top of the homepage. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to comment below and/or email us at crammingfortheapocalypse@gmail.com. Happy Prepping!

You know the cliche: water is life. Well, it’s not cliche for nothing because it is absolutely true. We cannot survive without water. A healthy adult can live up to three weeks without food, but only about three days without clean water. So focusing on water first is essential to your health in a disaster.
