EDC 2. Water
As an 80's kid I know the desperation and taste of hot hose water, out of some randoms yard, on a hot day. But we shouldn't really ever get to that point. I find people don't drink enough and often don't carry any with them. If you live somewhere hot, as I do, you can get in serious trouble in only a few hours without water.
- Always carry water with you. I use a 1L stainless steel water bottle. Why metal? You can boil water in it if you have to.
- Carry a secondary collapsible plastic or silicone bottle in your bag or where you work.
- Have extra water in your car or where you work.
- Have a way to boil water, matches, lighter and/or flint and steel (see energy later), and a way to filter or purify water, purification tablets or drops are cheap and easy to carry.
- Know where local sources of water are. If the power is out the taps won't work, how will you get water?

VOTE FOR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
In the lead up to the US election I thought I'd do a little series of Every Day Carry (EDC) notes.
Following the format of the basic survival needs and 5C's of survival, starting with:
0. You: As in Permaculture, with Zone 0 being your house and Zone 1 being outside that, your person is the first thing you need sorted out. Thus covers your personal mindset and health
1. Water: what you have and how you carry it.
2. Food: what you have, knowledge and skill to feed yourself.
3. Energy: usually thus would be fire, but today we also need electricity for many things.
4. Shelter: how you protect yourself from the elements.
5. Health: Sanitation and medicines.
6. Safety: defence, knowledge, skills, mindset.
