He emphasizes that while long-term disasters (30+ months) require collective action from governments or churches, individual families should focus on a 14-to-30-day "hiccup" event.Wining identifies four pillars for a family unit to manage during a 14-to-30-day outage:Water: Store approximately one gallon per person per day 05:39 Opens in a new window .
