It won't be worth much unless you have enough clean water stored up to be able to use it...
(during a disaster where water is cut off, obviously! I once made the mistake of buying too much of this kind of thing and not thinking about the water until much later.)
Great advice thank you. I am working on quadruple contingency water plan. Sawyer Squeeze. A Gravl filter cup, water shock chemical, and a Berkey gravity filter as well as water storage containers storing about 40-50 gallons minimum on hand rotated. I have a park right next to my house that has a creek.
Sounds like you're on the right track to me! I don't have a nearby creek/river but I do have about 40 gallons of water in 5 gallon containers. It's tapwater which should be fine since it's been treated, but I can always filter or whatever if needed. Otherwise I just swap it out a couple times a year for "fresh" tapwater.
