Hello Kirsteen, IF disaster strikes, even your old bottled tap water for the toilet will be better than any new tap water that could be available. I bought an Aquarain several years ago http://www.aquarain.com/ It's made in the USA (or at least enough is to claim that). There are a few sligh

Consider buying a Berkey water filter, I have one and love it. If/when Sandy comes knocking, assuming you have some warning, you could fill a bathtub with water and filter it thru the Berkey as needed. They also sell very cheap bladders that fit in the bathtub to hold water (check Amazon). This
