Correct water preparedness for emergencies is of extreme importance. Lack of proper water preparation will cause stress and great discomfort within hours. Without adequate sanitary water, injury and death will happen within two to three days.
Water is your second Preparedness Parachute. The issues and needs surrounding dependence on the water utility infrastructure (electricity, communications, pipes, pumps, reservoirs and purification) that delivers safe water to our homes is not well understood and respected by most people.
When the infrastructure is down and emergency services are not available, the lack of readily available safe water can quickly escalate all the interconnected issues into serious killers.
There is much more to understanding WATER preparation than just having a drum of water, a portable filter and some bleach on hand. There are many options available and many are low cost or no cost. You must have adequate supplies of safe sanitary water or you will become weak, sick or die.

Sanitation is your third Survival Parachute. If you get this wrong, you die.
The issues and needs surrounding emergency sanitation are grossly overlooked and very underestimated. When something really serious happens and the infrastructure is gone and emergency services are not available, the lack of proper sanitation can quickly escalate into the biggest killer of all.
Seriously, if you get this wrong during an emergency, sanitation issues can turn very deadly in a hurry. You might have all the food, water, tools and other skills you need, but if you come down with typhus or crypto and die, then everything else you did to prepare is for naught.
There is much more to sanitation than storing toilet paper and bars of soap. In this class, we will explore the key principles of empowering sanitation for long-term self-reliant living:
- Why is sanitation a Survival Parachute
- Long-term emergency disposal of the world’s most deadly substance
- Protecting your home environment from sewer system failure
- Personal hygiene
- Personal protection
- Keeping things cleaned up
- Cleaners and sanitizers
- Disposal of trash & garbage
- Controlling vermin and pests
