1 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,600 Oh, no water. 2 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240 Seven Days: Practise your preparedness. 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,640 Water. 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,640 Hi! My name is Simon. In this video, I’m your preparedness buddy. 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,400 We will review what you should think about before you end up in a situation like this 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,800 and how to think and act while it is happening. 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,160 In a crisis or war, water may stop flowing and remain unavailable for a long time. 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,240 What do you do then? How do you make coffee? How do you brush your teeth? 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,800 How do you cook? How do you get drinking water for yourself? 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,360 If you have pets, how do you get water for them? 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,880 Can you manage without water? No, you can't. 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,160 That's why it's good to be prepared and have water stored for such situations. 13 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,360 One good idea is to freeze water in plastic bottles. 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,160 Do not fill them all the way to the top, as they may crack when the water freezes. 15 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,520 Frozen water keeps for longer than fresh water, but... 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,600 You should also store drinking water in containers kept cool and dark. 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,640 A camping stove like this is useful too. 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,120 You can use it to boil water and to purify water. 19 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,720 If you think the water is contaminated, you can make it clean and safe to drink. 20 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,520 There are other sources of liquid too. Canned food, for example, contains liquid, 21 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,920 so when cooking, you can actually boil pasta right in the crushed tomatoes. 22 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,440 But what do you do when the water in your containers runs out? 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480 If you have no drinking water, where can you get it? 24 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,760 In a crisis, the municipality may place water tanks where you can collect water. 25 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Now we're going to one of those places to fill these containers. Come along. 26 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,000 -Hello. -Hello there. 27 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,640 -Thirsty? -Yes, we've run out of water at home. 28 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,720 You have? 29 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,040 -Can I fill up here? -Absolutely. We have water here. 30 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160 -Great. -Just help yourself. 31 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720 -Hi. Simon. -Hi. Teodor. 32 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,160 -And you're from...? -The municipality. 33 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,240 -And this is where we fill up...? -That's right. 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Yes, put the container down, open the tap and take what you need. 35 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,480 All right. 36 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,320 -There you go. It starts right away. -That's right. 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,120 -How much can I take? I'm spilling some. -That's probably fine. 38 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,200 We haven't really needed to impose any restrictions. 39 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,600 IN A CRISIS, THE AMOUNT OF WATER PER PERSON MAY BE LIMITED 40 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,240 -I had run out of water at home. -You had? 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,920 -But you still have water here? -Yes, we still have water. 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Our waterworks are more resilient, so we can keep them running during outages. 43 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,240 Great! Now I have two. 44 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,640 -That should last me for a little while. -Yes. 45 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,200 -Thanks a lot. I'll let you get on with it. -Absolutely. 46 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Take care! 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,680 To sum up: in a serious crisis or war, water may be unavailable for a long time. 48 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,480 It's good to be prepared, because you'll need water for many things. 49 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,160 For drinking, cooking and basic hygiene, and enough for your pets if you have any. 50 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,680 A good tip is to freeze water in plastic bottles. It will keep for longer. 51 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320 Keep water containers like these at home. 52 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,000 Store them filled in a cool, dark place and change the water every six months. 53 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Bottled water keeps for longer than water you fill yourself at home. 54 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,160 A camping stove is useful for cooking, but if you're unsure about water quality, 55 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,360 you can boil the water to make it safe. 56 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,040 In a serious crisis, the municipality may place water tanks like the one we just saw, 57 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,120 where you can collect fresh drinking water. 58 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Swedish Civil Defence and Resilience Agency.
