Water
Amount needed is 14 gallons per person. This is a two week supply which is the generally accepted amount of time for a city to fix damaged water routes. 7 gallons are for drinking and 7 gallons are for cleaning. Place in 2-liter pop bottles with 4 drops of chlorine in each. Do not store in milk jugs, as they will leak. Do not store water in vinyl containers, such as water beds as these have chemicals, which can cause harm. Also, water purification tables are good, although they often leave a strange taste in the water. Rotate the water in the 2-liter pop bottles every 6 months. (Some families rotate water every General Conference)
"Be prepared in all things the day when tribulations and desolations are sent forth upon the wicked." (D&C 29:8) "We encourage you to follow this counsel with the assurance that a people prepared through obedience to the commandments of God need not fear." (First Presidency letter. June 24, 1988)

How to Get a Year's Supply in 52 Weeks or Less
We have been asked by our leaders to have a year's supply of food storage. This weekly program has been designed to get you the essentials in an in expensive and systematic way. Also, this can be stored in a small area. When following this program, one item is purchased per week. All of the amounts for one person for one year. Be sure to mark your items with a permanent marker showing the date of purchase.
Many of these items can be purchased and canned at the dry pack cannery and can be done on your ward's regularly scheduled days and times. You can also take other items you've purchased to the cannery and can them. By working together and taking one day at a time, the counsel from our Prophets to obtain a food storage can become a reachable goal. Did you know that food storage was first given as a commandment in 1926. Those saints who followed it were able to make it through the depression years with less hardship than those around them who did not have food stored.
We don't know what is ahead. The world is becoming increasingly uncertain in these last days. President Benson told us that a supply of food might be as important to us in our day as boarding the ark was to the people of Noah's day. As we have heard before, "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear." (D&C 38:30)
