Emergency Preparedness

If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you. Canadians are advised to be prepared to take care of themself and their family for a minimum of 72 hours. Safe drinking water is a crucial element of any emergency readiness kit to prevent the spread of waterborne disease, creating further crises.

Bulk packaged water purification tablets are an essential element in any survival kit, first-aid kit, bug-out bag, emergency readiness kit, or 72-hour kit. Aquatabs are rapidly dissolving iodine-free tablets that are safe for the whole family to use (including pregnant women). Lightweight, compact, and conveniently packaged, Aquatabs have a shelf life of 5 years when left in their original foil packaging.

Aquatabs are approved and used by international aid agencies including NATO, WHO, Unicef, International Red Cross, Medecins Sans Frontieres, and Oxfam.
