# Calculate Potable Water Storage Headroom for Emergency Preparedness — Free

Emergency management guidelines recommend storing at least one gallon of potable water per person and pet per day, yet stored containers often sit uncounted across basements, closets, and garages. Enter your stored water containers, verifiable potable volumes, and household daily requirements to calculate your true survival water headroom.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Households and emergency planners evaluating disaster water preparedness supplies.

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked water-reserve gauge run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent water-reserve gauge app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the water-reserve gauge with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed days and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
