How do you use the toilet when the water is off?

A bucket toilet lined with heavy bags and an absorbent such as kitty litter or waste gel, sealed after each use and stored away from living areas until normal disposal returns.

What hand sanitizer works?

The CDC recommends hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water are not available.

Why does sanitation matter in a disaster?

Illness spreads fast when water and sewers fail. Clean hands, safe waste disposal and clean food prep prevent much of it.
