Disaster Preparedness
During and after a hurricane or other natural disaster the water supply to your home can become contaminated and unfit to drink. To ensure your household has a safe and adequate water supply after natural disasters take these precautions:

• Store enough drinking water for each family member and pet.
• Store in a clean, non-corrosive, tightly covered container.
• Store containers in a cool, dark location.
• Collect water in bathtubs for non-drinking uses.
• Toilets may be flushed by pouring a container of water into the bowl.
