According to FEMA it is one gallon of water per person PER DAY, not per three days. Your info graphic only provides the amount of water needed for a family of four for one day.

Always have your emergency kits ready and have enough stocks of clean water to drink.

We only have flashlights, matches, lighters, and blankets. We need a lot more, like water and freeze dried food.

We always keep an emergency preparedness kit (and check it yearly) because living in South Florida we have to deal with our annual hurricane season! We can always use more flashlights, batteries, lanterns, and canned goods for the kit!

We don’t have a plan but that is a good idea. I’ll bookmark and check back later to check out the links and put one together.

We really don’t have a kit or a plan, but I have been telling my family that we need to work on this.
