Phillip,
I did not take your article as a “Chicken Little the Sky Is Falling” type read, but as one meant to inform others about the dangers we face now. These concerns are very REAL, and for those who do not think so, well they are like Ostriches who bury their hand in the sand. We MUST and we owe it to families and ourselves to be prepared should something happen to tax our world. Water is a critical requirement for life, even more than food, but we can insure success by simply taking a few extra steps. Rainwater catchment systems, and guttering our buildings for its retrieval is one of the simplest things we can do to make sure there is a viable water supply for needs other than drinking. We too keep purification straws in our “Go Bags” in case we are away from the farm when an event happens, which at some point it will.
Always be PREPARDED for the worst…….
