Living in the foothills in California, we have been prepared for no power during fires. This means no water from the well. We prepared over the years and store gravity fed water in 2500 gal tank, and have just recently acquired a generator to keep our food in the frig from spoiling. The only thing we did not foresee with THIS crisis, did we stock up enough on toilet paper? Who knew that would be a major deal>?

Especially since this is a respiratory flu!
I never even considered that I was stocking toilet paper for long-term future use. I just happened to find big packages of it at Sam’s Club on sale. So I bought two of them.
But as far as prepping and storing it, I’m not sure how well paper does. It would have to be in a moisture-proof environment. Not sure I could do that here with all the humidity.
We also live rural and have a well, and a 2500 gallon tank. The problem is running well if there is no electricity for a protracted time. DH got a solar well pump but has not set it up yet. We have many very tall trees but he can cut some (more) or find a spot with more sunlight.
