The world is an unpredictable place. Between inclement weather, supply chain issues, and infrastructure challenges, you never know what you’ll be facing next. How do you handle situations where obstacles prevent you from having reliable access to potable water? There are many ways we can get cut off from clean, drinkable water. However, there are also ways you can ensure you don’t lose all access to essential water. One way you can protect your organization from losing water access is with a water storage bladder. This is a piece of equipment that gives you versatility in how you can store your water. Having a food-grade water storage option is something the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, recommends for emergency preparedness. Here’s why FEMA-inspired water storage options are such a great idea.
You Can Stand the Test of Mother Nature
As the summer months quickly approach, you know storms aren’t far behind. For large sections of the US, June is the start of hurricane season, which typically lasts through November. Hurricanes and major storms bring many inches of rain along with them (not to mention storm surges along the coast). Sometimes, storms can take place with little warning. On top of that, some storms can generate excessive amounts of rain, wind, and natural debris. Ironically, flooding can easily cut you off from clean, reliable water sources. City water, and even local well water, may become contaminated. Washouts can damage water lines. Power outages might disrupt water pumps. The list goes on. When any of these situations occur, you can find yourself without a clean water source. However, if you have a water bladder tank that’s full and ready to go, you can be prepared with an option that stands the test of Mother Nature.
You’re Always Ready for the Unpredictable
Just as major storms can be unpredictable once they start, many other scenarios can become unpredictable, too. In preparing for an emergency, FEMA recommends keeping a supply of unopened bottled water on hand. But what if you can’t get bottled water? What if you can’t get to the store or have an order delivered? When interruptions to the supply chain prevent you from getting emergency essentials, like water, a water storage bladder can save the day. It’s one less thing to worry about during storm and flood season. It’s one less variable to consider in the event of supply chain issues. A water storage bladder helps you ensure you’re always prepared, especially in the event of unpredictable weather.
You Have Clean Water On-Demand
Even outside of emergency situations, a water storage bladder ensures you have water on-site—wherever that site may be. That means you can use your potable water whenever you need it. Water bladders made from NSF/ANSI 61 certified material help keep your clean water secure. You don’t have to worry about potential contaminants from external sources or internal leaching. Just be sure sanitize your potable water bladder to the standards of your local water quality department to ensure compliance local water quality, treatment, and testing regulations. That way, you can use your stored water now or months from now. Best of all, you know it’s going to be there for you when you need it most.
