Water Ready for Hurricane/Apocalypse

I went a step beyond the store-jugs-of-water advice. I have a Lifestraw in my go-bag.

Dirty water? Have a drink. LifeStraw is a purifier that provides instant access to safe drinking water with no need for electricity, chemicals or running water. The system is more effective than boiling water and doesn't require as much time or energy.

Search online for Lifestraw, they can be bought in many places, the one below has an extra good deed.

LifeStraw in Action

Both the family and personal models of LifeStraw eliminate sediment, bacteria and parasites from drinking water. The personal filter can stop particles measuring 0.2 microns -- small enough to filter tiny bacteria and parasites. Both models have filters that eliminate 99.9999 percent of the bacteria and 99.9 percent of the parasites present in the water. (As we said, only the family version can filter out viruses .002 microns.) It's important to note that both versions don't remove heavy chemicals or salt, so don't go sticking your LifeStraw in arsenic-laced water and expect refreshment.

Small Amoeba = 90 Microns 

Staph A = .5 Micron
Average Virus = .005 Micron
