Your water can become unusable at anytime. For 300,000 people in West Virginia a chemical spill made all tap water undrinkable. How fortunate were those with water storage.
The minimal amount you should be storing is a 3 day supply of a gallon per a person per a day- 3 gallons per a person and per a pet. It is recommended if you can store more to do so. Ideally you would want 2 gallons per a person per a day for a 2 week period of time. This would included drinking, cooking, and washing.
Our apartment is small so we decided to store 2 gallons per a person for 3 day, or 18 gallons of water. We used old juice bottles. We also put a gallon in our car for emergencies (car overheats, you overheat) and a case of bottled water that gets used on trips and camping and what not. Water is one thing I always want to have.
Make sure you rotate your water storage with fresh water every six months.
