For us two weeks of water basically a few cases plus or Minus.Didn’t need it last year, the year before that, the year before that and so on.
A years worth seems pretty extreme to be honest.
What would be a more realistic/‘normal’ expectation?

The diagnosis is; normalcy bias. The belief that because something has not occurred in your experience it will never occur. The freedom and abundance we have right this minute is unprecedented in the history of mankind. We are living the anomaly. Seriously, study human history to have a better idea where we may go.Didn’t need it last year, the year before that, the year before that and so on.

I believe three liters per day per person is a good number to shoot for.For us two weeks of water basically a few cases plus or Minus.
Normal is you don’t have the things in your house to make a basic meal without visiting the local grocery store daily.Didn’t need it last year, the year before that, the year before that and so on.

I should preface it we have a Stream on our homestead. So that kind of helps.I believe three liters per day per person is a good number to shoot for.
From all of my emergency management, search and rescue and wilderness survival training, the old standby was one gallon a day per person for hydration, sanitation and cooking, and that’s of course with moderate activity. Increased physical activity and the need for increased sanitation (i.e., WROL activities) would definitely require more.I believe three liters per day per person is a good number to shoot for.
I agree that more is better but I like to suggest to those asking, like the OP’s question, that three liters per per person for 90 days is a start point. Then one needs to know what the next source of water will be. 600 liters for two people is way better than most folks will ever have. Twenty Costco cases of 40 liters would be excellent to have on hand.From all of my emergency management, search and rescue and wilderness survival training, the old standby was one gallon a day per person for hydration, sanitation and cooking, and that’s of course with moderate activity.

Heck, in this day and age, having 2-3 cases of water on hand would be a bounty for most (NPCs).I agree that more is better but I like to suggest to those asking, like the OP’s question, that three liters per per person for 90 days is a start point.
