One of our goals for 2009 is to get our water storage up to where it needs to be.
For starters, we gave "Seychelle" portable water filtration bottles as Christmas gifts to each member of our immediate family.
Next, we purchased two new 55 gallon water barrels and a pump (they have yet to be washed out and filled with water.) We are still determining the best place to store them.
Then Monday evening my husband took on the huge task of emptying and refilling our 5 gallon water jugs. They had been previously filled on January 17, 1994, so we thought it might be time for some fresh stuff. :)
We've also been saving empty juice bottles, washing them out, and refilling them with tap water.

REMEMBER: "Water is more essential in sustaining life than food is, so it is one of the first items you should collect for your food storage." (Source: Ensign, Oct. 1991, pg 71.)
