Stored Food & Water Calculator
Calculation of Water, Food and Provisions for EACH PERSON
Each person will consume and should have the minimum of the following items: Food, water, medicines, a firearm, ammunition for that firearm, clothing for all seasons.
The best way to ensure you have everything is to gather your household members and Extended Family and Friends and “brainstorm.” Talk about it! Speak out loud and visualize what you each will need for all seasons of the year. This must include simple things like cooking fuel, per person. Have one or two members act as “recorders” and put everything thought of down on paper. Make a list and distribute and then be persistent until each person has these items.

Water… The Triple-One Rule of Thumb
This rule of water use will give each person in your NPP drinking, minimal cooking and “sponge bathing” water of One Gallon for One Person for One Day.
This depends, obviously on the time of year, your climate, and individual needs. In hot months you will need more. But this rule will generally keep all Group Members functioning adequately. You should have as much water in storage as possible and your NPP should have an identified renewable safe water source.
