While stocking up on bottled water is a given for every Floridian, we need to think beyond just the immediate supply. You see, we can’t carry all the water we might need all the time. This is where handheld water filters come into play—affordable, effective, and incredibly portable.

Since it’s an expensive test and literally everyone who takes a magnesium supplement finds some physical or emotional benefit, I stopped checking it.

I recommend having at least two types of water filters on hand. Personal filter straws are a great start; they’re cheap, small, lightweight, and simple enough that even my kids can use them without any issue. For higher drinking volumes, consider a filtered water bottle or a portable inline water filter. These tools are indispensable for ensuring you and your family have access to safe drinking water during and after a storm.

Now, I know, the world of portable survival water filters can seem daunting. But don’t stress! Head over to Amazon, find something within your budget, and most importantly, make sure you know how to use it before you actually need it. Trust me, you don’t want to be figuring this out in the middle of a crisis.

Let’s stay safe and prepared this hurricane season. Together, we can weather any storm!
