This week’s boil order for Indiana American Water customers highlights the need to be prepared during an emergency.

“Being prepared can really pay off for small inconveniences like a boil water advisory and disasters,” said Shane Booker, Executive Director of Hamilton County Emergency Management.
According to ready.gov, it is important to have at least one gallon of water per person in your home for at least three days. Having a kit does not mean spending a lot of money.
“You can buy items when they are on sale and put them in a plastic tote like bottled water, canned food, flashlights and extra batteries,” said Booker.
Severe weather season is right around the corner, and starting to put your kit together now can ensure you’re ready for whatever tomorrow may bring.
