I really don't understand why you think everyone should store large amounts of water. I can understand buying a filter, if you have concerns about your water system (or the electrical system). But I live a few blocks from a river and it's always wet here in January and February. Though I wouldn't relish drinking untreated water, most of the United States lives either within a relatively short distance of a source of water, such as a lake or river, or in someplace where winter rainfall or snowfall is frequent.
Why is it you think that gang members will be shooting people for their water? Won't happen in NY--just walk to Central Park or another reservoir, or in last resort, to the river. Same in DC, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Antonio, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Spokane, Detroit and countless other communities that have deep reservoirs, free flowing fresh water and plenty of winter rain and snowfall. |
