Have plenty of water

Most people need four litres of water per person per day, but some people may need more. For example, children, people who are nursing or people who are sick. Hot temperatures can double water needs. Pets need about 30 mL of water per kg of body weight per day. For example, a cat or small dog needs at least half a cup of water each day. Water must be safe to drink Purchase bottled water for an emergency kit. Keep it in its original container in cool and dark place that's easy to reach. You should not: Open the water until you need it Use water that's past the expiry or "best before" date printed on the bottle Use water from toilet tanks or bowls, radiators, waterbeds, swimming pools or spas If your regular water supply becomes contaminated, you can purify and bottle your own water. If you use a water filtration device, it's still a good idea to store some bottled water as well.
