Preppers once were the unreasonable ones. What else will be seen in a new light?

It’s all context. There is a fine line between stupid and genius.
Tnx people for all your suggestions and advice. It helped me isolate my perceived worst case emergency. This would be a flood, as in all other events I’ll be dead, or it will be very doable. So if there’s a flood, this would likely mean, no water, energy, electricity, communications and probably no help, for days minimum.
For clean water access, apparently a small portable (old school) waterfiltration system would be the best option, in combination with some bottled water.
Anyone tried water purifying tablets yet, and would you recommend them?
So, I did some research a little while ago, bottled (supermarket) water will stay good for a year, officially . Anything else ( like water filled jerrycan) goes bad after some days and needs a waterfilter and/or water purifying tablets.
You have between 100 and 300L of fresh water in your cumulus and 10L in your toilets. If you have a bath, you can also fill it as soon as alert is raised and have enough water for days. Yes, it’s not the perfectly clean tap water, but it’s emergency situation. And you have an immune system for this.
Unless you go on treck or on country with suspicious water, don’t bother with purifying tablets. You’ll have to throw them away and replace every 2 years. They also give some unpleasant taste to water.
