Alhambra Bottled Water Shares Emergency Preparedness Techniques

Company recommends having supply of bottled water on hand in case of earthquakes.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 13, 2007

Alhambra, a bottled water brand produced and distributed by DS Waters, would like to remind you that having bottled water on hand at all times should be a critical part of any emergency preparedness plan. This is of particular importance in California, where residents must always be aware that a natural disaster such as an earthquake could disrupt their lives at any moment.

The Red Cross recommends that households store a three- to seven-day supply of drinking water for emergency preparedness, with one gallon of water per person per day. Sparkletts can help with its water delivery service that can ensure that your home always has extra bottles of fresh drinking water ready for everyday use or emergency storage.

Along with your bottled water, it is recommended that your emergency preparedness kit also contain:

--A portable, battery-powered radio
--Sanitation products
--A first aid kit with medicines, prescription drugs, bandages, and contact lens solution
--Enough non-perishable foods (canned or packaged) to last for three to seven days, as well as a can opener

"Earthquakes are nothing new to those of us who live in California, but it is important to remember to keep critical supplies on hand in an emergency preparedness kit," said Dennis McVey, Area Manager for the Bay Area. "By signing up with Alhambra for home or office bottled water delivery, and by adding additional cases to orders as necessary, customers can ensure that their homes are always stocked with what is needed to make it through an emergency safely."
