Water is the second most important element needed for survival. A person can only survive for 3 days without water. Do you think your family could survive for two weeks with the amount of water you have stored now? Storing only water filters is not enough!
Water can be stored in almost any container, but not all containers will make your water safe for drinking. Use food-grade water storage containers made of thick plastic to store water for drinking and fill the containers using a clean RV or food grade hose. Do not use a regular garden hose. A used garden hose harbors harmful bacteria, which will contaminate the water that flows through it.
It is fine to store water to use for washing clothes or flushing toilets in containers that have been used for bleach, detergents or juice. Be sure to label water in those containers as unsafe for drinking. Below are several links with more information on how much water you need to store (1 gallon/person/day minimum) and so much more!
