Everyone who has ordered dehydrated food has received it. Sorry for the delays. Storage of Emergency Water Various sources recommend home storage of a two week supply of water. Both glass and plastic containers are commonly used for water storage at home. Containers should be clean and sanitary.
Plastic containers are lightweight and substantially more resistant to breakage than glass.
If plastic containers are used, care should be taken to assure that they are made of plastic approved for food contact by the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Polyethylene plastic is approved for food contact and is commonly used for containers of various sizes, including large 55 gallon drums. Leaching of chemicals from approved plastic is negligible. For long term storage, water should be sterilized or disinfected. One teaspoon of bleach disinfects 5 gallons of water.
