The most recommended home water storage solution by FEMA and Red Cross

Trusted by serious preppers and emergency preparedness experts nationwide

Why This Matters

FEMA recommends storing one gallon of water per person per day for at least two weeks. For a family of four that is 56 gallons minimum. A single 55-gallon barrel meets your entire family's minimum two-week water supply in one container.

Product Description

The 55-Gallon Water Storage Barrel is a food-grade, BPA-free polyethylene drum designed for long-term household water storage. FEMA recommends one gallon per person per day—this barrel holds a 55-day supply for one adult. It includes a bung wrench, hand pump, and water treatment drops. Store in a cool, dark location and rotate every 5 years. The definitive long-term water storage solution for serious home preparedness.

Real Use Case

A major winter ice storm knocks out power and water for 11 days. Your 55-gallon barrel in the garage provides your family of four with 13 days of drinking water. You fill pots for cooking, use it for hygiene, and keep your family hydrated throughout without leaving home.
