How Used Shipping Containers Can Save Your Life in an Emergency

Used storage containers have more uses than duct tape. The options are literally endless. One very special way you can utilize your used shipping container is in the event of an emergency. You will find that purchasing a shipping container will benefit you in the event of both man-made and natural disasters. You may be asking yourself, how? Keep reading to discover!

Food Storage
In the event of an emergency, food will be a major concern. No matter the type of emergency, it is likely that traditional sources like supermarkets and corner stores will be closed. Staying prepared with a healthy supply of food will keep you and your families safe until things turn for the better.
But why can't you just use your pantry? The truth is your pantry can only store so much. When you have a family to protect, having a 6 months' supply of canned foods is enough to fill up 5 pantries, or a small section of your used shipping container.

Safeguard Water and Supplies
Now that you have a healthy supply of food, what about water? You can actually survive much longer without food and only 3 days without water. To keep your water safe from the environment and away from prying eyes, a shipping container makes a very logical choice.
You can pack away over a dozen vertical or drum style 100 gallon water tanks in your used shipping container along with food and still have leftover space. Don't forget to get your water purifying tablets to keep your water clean for up to 10 years.
