ALTA SURVIVAL • PRACTICAL HOUSEHOLD PREPAREDNESS

Start with one thing your household depends on

Think about what would be hardest to manage if an everyday service stopped working. If you’re unsure where to begin, start with water. You can do the first check with a notebook and the supplies you already have.

Find your next best improvement

Check what you have. Count the people your supply needs to support and inventory your usable stored water.

Find the gap. Use the check to estimate how long your supply will last and compare it with the number of days you want to cover.

Choose one improvement. Decide what you can do this week, who will do it and when you’ll check again.
