The Quest field guide · 4 practical steps

STEP 01

Estimate your water needs

CDC recommends at least one gallon per person per day for three days. Consider more for pets, pregnancy, illness, and hot weather; aim for a longer supply when possible.

STEP 02

Choose sensible storage

Use unopened commercially bottled water or appropriate food-grade containers. Follow CDC guidance for cleaning, filling, and storing your water supply.

STEP 03

Keep meals familiar

Choose shelf-stable foods your household enjoys. Account for allergies and include no-cook meals and a manual can opener.

STEP 04

Make rotation routine

Check labels and dates when you review your household supplies. Use and replace food as part of your normal shopping routine.
