My home was flooded and I am worried about the safety of the drinking water. What should I do?

Drink only approved or chlo­ri­nat­ed water. Con­sid­er all water from wells, cis­terns, and oth­er deliv­ery sys­tems in the dis­as­ter area unsafe until test­ed. Pur­chase bot­tled water, if nec­es­sary, until you are cer­tain that your water sup­ply is safe. Keep a 3‑day sup­ply of water or a min­i­mum of 3 gal­lons of water per per­son.
