Surviving a Water Crisis You probably use way more water every day than you realize. In this episode, we break down what happens when the tap suddenly runs dry, or worse, when the water is still flowing but you’ve been told not to drink it. We cover how much water you actually need, what to do in the first 30 minutes of an outage, hidden water sources around your house, ways to stretch every gallon, emergency water collection, filtration and disinfection, sanitation problems, and the weird little tools that can make a water crisis a whole lot easier to manage. We also get into: How much water a family should realistically store Why your water heater can become a massive emergency reserve Bathtub bladders, rain catchment, pools, snow, dew, and other backup sources The difference between biological and chemical contamination Filters vs. purifiers vs. boiling Why clear water can still absolutely wreck you Conserving water for cooking, hygiene, and cleaning The poop problem when toilets stop working Useful gear like siphons, transfer pumps, sillcock keys, and collapsible containers What to do when municipal water finally comes back Our must-have water crisis kit The big takeaway: storing water is only the beginning. You need a plan for collecting it, moving it, treating it, rationing it, and keeping the good stuff from getting contaminated.
