Bottled Water Case Storage
The simplest possible reserve. Rotate it, keep it off concrete, and it needs no equipment at all.
Scenario
The Bay
It came out of the estuary on the fourth of July.
A parasite thriving in warm, over-fertilised water, a town whose entire summer happens on the shoreline, and a public health response that arrives about two days after it would have mattered.
What kills you
Water contact, and the delay before anyone admits it.
Rules
- 01Do not enter the water. Any of it.
- 02Municipal supply is downstream of the same problem.
- 03Skin contact counts, not just drinking.
- 04Believe the lab, not the mayor.
