Can’t live without water. Our guidelines are to be prepared to be self-sufficient for up to three days in an an emergency.
I used to have a 20l jug of water on standby, and I’ve had to resort to it twice in eight years because of one planned and one unplanned outage. For the unplanned one my municipality eventually showed up with a water truck on our street so we could refill.
Now I keep 50 litres and I have a well with my neighbours which I use mostly for watering the garden, but it’s potable. In a prolonged power outage situation I might have to scurry over to the neighbour with a battery and an inverter to keep the pump going.
