How much water do you have per person per day in your stores?

[PanicNotAtTheDisco]

Just that really? How much water do you plan for?

Oh we need a proper topic

Of course you will nbe about why you need water. Until the moment when you do, My water store lives with the other emergency stuff in a cupboard.
If I need it, it's there. If I don't, then it's not wasted. Think of it like insurance.

Pipes freeze, water mains burst, things get turned off and all you know about it is when you come home to a note through the letterbox.
We have alternative light sources in case of power cuts and can cook with either gas or electricity. At a pinch, we could bbq in the garden.
It's not paranoia. it's just being prepared for a challenging few days if necessary.

I honestly can't think why I would need to store any water.....or emergency stuff....
Am I missing the point totally or is Armageddon nigh and nobody's thought to tell us ?

You probably don't, it makes me feel better though. Like having a full store cupboard.

X post
Right, so if pipes freeze then I guess water bowser will arrive like last time, cooker is dual fuel so no problem, camping gas cooker in shed, plenty of candles/matches/torches/batteries but that's just common sense......isn't it?

I have an unopened bottle of vodka [unhelpful emoticon]

I have a 20l bottle I keep meaning to fill.

About 10l of mineral water.

We live 20m from a river so we have water purification tablets and two filter straws just in case

You would think so, Nonnainglese, but apparently not.

Is this zombie apocalypse related?

Ok, no bowser but I have a stream within 150 yards, too many bottles of wine and if push comes to shove I'll impose myself on my friends or family highly unlikely so don't worry mum

wtf ..why is everyone storing water??

O don't need extra clutter in my life..we'll dehydrate and save the space

I have asda over the road so nothing stored here!

Do we need water in case of Ebola?! Did I miss some warning...

I don't have the space to store water.

I'm rolling my eyes at you all, whilst simultaneously wondering which cupboard I can clean out for bottles of water.

So, what else do I need for the apocalypse?

If you fill a bottle from the tap how long will it keep? Does water go off?

Ummm... None! Should I have some?

I am another person wondering what I've missed here

Red crayons- me too!
It all sounds bonkers, yet I don't like to miss out....

Bizarre

Oh dear. We really do need our own board, MNHQ.

What I'm wondering now is, all the people who are wandering confused into this water topic - what are you doing here anyway, are you anxious about ebola? Surely if you are, then you can sort of see why other disasters might be worth thinking about?

Who needs another topic for what? Another one here wondering what they've missed!

I have a lot of alcohol in the cupboard under the stairs and a cupboard full of tinned stuff. Plus an open fire and a full log store! And in case of dire emergency chickens that we could spit roast. I might leave the bath full at all times tho just in case...

I don't need water. I have gin!
