Three Ways to Purify Water
Clean water is extremely important! A lot of times there is water available, but it’s not safe to drink. You should assume that your water is contaminated if the culinary water system has been compromised. Boiling is recommended, but it’s only an option if you have a way to heat it along with needed fuel. For that reason, you need redundant systems—multiple ways to obtain clean water.
Add Canned Meats to Your Food Storage
The preparedness challenge this week is to add canned meat to your food supply. Meat will make your menus more palatable and much more like the food most people are used to eating. Even the addition of small amounts of animal protein to vegetable proteins raises the protein quality of your diet. Canned meats are familiar to most diets and are a nutritious choice, especially when fresh foods aren’t available. You can choose from a wide variety of canned meat, poultry, and fish.
Plan Now to Have Pure Water in a Crisis
Most people rely on their municipal water system to deliver clean, pure tap water for drinking, food preparation, and personal hygiene. A crisis, big or small, may interrupt the delivery of clean water. When that happens you may experience a “boil water advisory.” In some crises the water system may break down entirely, and you may have to rely on stored water or questionable local water sources like streams and ponds.

Originally, I set out to update and make a few revisions to the original Crisis Preparedness Handbook written by my late husband, Jack A. Spigarelli. I wasn’t into it very far when I realized I was doing more than making some simple changes. I found that I had something important to say about being prepared. After all, I had practiced preparedness principles my whole life, even as a kid, and self-reliance was second nature for me.
I have felt the peace and confidence that comes from being prepared. I knew I could help people who understand they live in a dangerous world and who know they should be prepared, but are in a panic or confused about what to do about it. I knew I could give them guidance and a little encouragement to help them get it done.
And that’s my goal – to help people get prepared for whatever crisis they may face next.
