We live in an area where earthquakes are always a possibility, so one of
the things we've done is to secure the water heater to the wall, so
there's no chance it would fall over. That means we have 40 gallons of
fresh water always available. Of course, the trick would be to remember
not to let more water in from the outside that could be tainted after
the earthquake happens.
