Here are a few tips on how to store water and food for a hurricane or other significant disaster:

• Store enough water to last two weeks for each person in your household. A normal active person requires a minimum of one litre of water per day for drinking and food preparation.
• Label the containers with the current date and renew your drinking supply each month.
• Store emergency food in waterproof containers.
• Arrange items so that those stored first will be used first.
• Observe expiration dates on packaged foods.
• Wrap bread, cookies, crackers, and dry goods in plastic bags and store in airtight containers.
• Your storage area should be dry, cool and free from contamination by insects, poisons and other chemicals.
• Water should be stored in clean, well-covered containers.

Good luck, and stay safe for the hurricane season!
