  1. Count the people and pets in your household and list stored drinking water by container, amount and date. Check current local guidance for the amount to keep.

  2. Read each container’s storage instructions and keep water protected from damage or contamination. Rotate supplies as instructed.

  3. Identify your local water authority’s boil-water and contamination notices. Do not assume a household filter makes any unknown source safe.
