Here are just a few of the items you may need in the coming months during the Swine Flu Pandemic. I would suggest that you purchase what you can ahead of time and stockpile as many of these items may be out of stock for awhile.

If you have the heart and pocketbook for it, you may also wish to buy extras for sharing with your friends and family.

As many of us already drink bottled water, you may want to start saving and disinfecting those plastic bottles for reuse. A gallon of purified water can be purchased for $1 or less at most stores. Buy gallons and refill your smaller water bottles. Remember to freeze some of them to ensure you have quality drinking water available.

If you have not begun your oxygen therapy program and you do not have H202 available (a superior disinfecting agent) then you can use bleach for disinfection. Check the bottles for recommended amounts to use.
