Recently released emergency preparedness guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommend that all households maintain an emergency supply of water – at least one gallon per person per day for three days –for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) advises consumers to store bottled water at room temperature or cooler, out of direct sunlight, and away from solvents and chemicals such as gasoline, paint thinners, household cleaners, and dry cleaning chemicals.

Bottled water is an excellent choice for emergency water storage and, of course, daily refreshment.
