Earthquake Family Preparedness
Post Japan Earthquake Notes
I'm posting in an email that was forwarded to me, second hand from the source. The email is from a lady who's family is currently stationed in Japan, and relates their experiences with the earthquake. What I like best in this is her own analysis on her preparedness level, and what she wishes she could do better.

DIY: Horizontal Storage of 55 gal. Water Barrels
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2311" src="/images/uploads/2009/07/water_barrels_final.jpg" alt="water_barrels_final" width="200" height="310" />I stumbled across this DIY project recently for storing 55 gal. water barrels horizontally. The biggest drawback of standard upright water barrels is getting the water out when needed. This generally involves either a siphon or a hand pump. Storing the barrels horizontally and adding a spigot to one of the caps makes using the barrels much more convenient. You'll also be more likely to exchange the water every six months since it will be easier to do.

Group buy on high-capacity water storage
During my church’s <a href="http://www.connorboyack.com/blog/a-second-snapshot-of-a-communitys-preparedness">recent emergency preparedness drill</a>, I discovered that while many people are doing well on their three month supply of food storage, very few had any type of water storage system. To help correct that, we have arranged for group buys on <strong>two</strong> different high-capacity water tanks, both of which store the equivalent to five 55 gallon drums!

Water storage and purification
I am aware of at least one individual on Utah Preppers that had doubts about this article ever seeing the light of day. Catching up on honey-do lists (building 2 can rotation systems, etc.) and everyday life was keeping me busier than I would have liked. Besides, seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water (well, except for Utah), so what's the big deal? The truth of it is, without water, your chances of surviving an extended emergency are greatly diminished. "Humans can survive 3 days on average without water -- less when it is very hot or one is very active (as opposed to weeks without food). A single day without water significantly reduces bodily and mental performance." - Wikibooks - Outdoor Survival/Water
