One gallon, counted for your house

On screen the whole time: AI host - Owners voice. Sheet 8 when the multiplication is written. One mention of the workbook.

Do the multiplication before you buy the water. People, times one gallon, times three days. That is the number. Then write where it sits.

The face is AI. The voice is the owner’s. I am not a doctor, a firefighter, or a certified instructor.

Ready.gov says one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation. The pages do not define “several days” as one number. The Red Cross describes a three-day kit you can carry, and a two-week supply at home. We finish three days first. Fourteen days is a later pass, after the three days are stored.

Count the people who live in the house. Not a national family of four. Your number. Times one gallon. Times three days. Say it out loud. If you have three people, three times one times three is nine gallons. If you have one person, it is three gallons. If you have five, it is fifteen. Children, nursing parents, illness, and extreme heat can need more than one gallon. There is no calorie target in this count.

Food is whatever this household will actually eat, and it should not need a stove or a refrigerator for those same three days. Write down a manual can opener. Store the jugs where a person in the house can reach them. An apartment closet counts. A second property does not.

Pets get several days of the food and water they already eat. Ready.gov does not print a gallon number for a pet. Leave that line as “several days.” Do not borrow a state figure unless that state program is the one you are following on purpose.

If the water is not already sealed, use the current Ready.gov water page. Older printouts disagree with that page. I am not going to read a bleach recipe.

Say your own number slowly. One person is three gallons. Two people is six. Three is nine. Four is twelve. Five is fifteen. Six is eighteen. That water is for drinking and sanitation together. Write the place the jugs sit, a place a person in the house can reach. The bag you can carry is a separate line. It does not replace this count.

A listed four-person kit has shipped with four one-liter boxes, just over one gallon, against twelve gallons for four people for three days. Another listed kit held twenty-four small pouches, under one gallon in the whole bag, and was listed at $239.99. A food bucket still needs water. Those listings are from 4 November 2026. They are a reason to count your house. They are not a shopping list, and they are not pass A.

The food line is what your people already eat, with no cooking: canned meat, fruit, and vegetables, bars, cereal, peanut butter, dried fruit, and infant food if an infant lives here. Ready.gov names those kinds. It does not give you a calorie number. Write the foods, and write a manual can opener.

The fourteen-day box is on the same sheet, and it waits. A six-month look at the jugs is a date on the fridge card. It is not a second project tonight.

Labeled fiction. Not a claim about a real apartment.

Here is a fiction, so you can see the sentence finished. An apartment. Three people, one of them an infant. One dog. Three times one times three is nine gallons for the people, in sealed jugs in the hall closet. The dog gets several days of the food and water that dog already eats. No gallon is printed for the dog. One medicine is refrigerated. Its name, its dose, and its day-count are not in this video. A pharmacist writes the day-count, because the official numbers do not agree.

Sheet 8 on the table. Say the product name once.

That sentence is sheet 8 of The Household Count. The workbook is not on sale. Write your number and your place. Then stop. If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
