Recommended Amounts
- Per Person: 1 gallon per day (typically broken down as a half-gallon for drinking and a half-gallon for food preparation and basic hygiene).
- Duration: A minimum 3-day supply is required for evacuations, but experts strongly recommend a 2-week supply (14 gallons per person) for sheltering at home.
- For Pets: Plan for about 1 quart to 1 gallon per pet per day depending on their size.
