Paul Bogatz, Battalion 18 Coordinator for Community Emergency Response team spoke at our annual gathering of Block Captains. His primary point was that we should be storing significant supplies of clean drinking water not just for our families but for our neighbors as well. One of our most ambitious blocks has just achieved 100% participation purchasing safe storage for water.  Please let me know if you would be interested in organizing  your block or group – the more people we can collect the more reasonable the shipping prices will be.

Here are a list of resources Paul provided.
