What struck me as notable is that this is the first time I've seen a national preparedness organization do these two things:

1. Distinguish between the amounts of food and water needed for evacuation and for sheltering in place.

2. What used to be the recommended minimum amounts of food and water for sheltering in place is now the amount recommended to take with you if you are evacuating. The sheltering in place amount is . . . almost 5 times what used to be the recommendation. Storing 14 gal.per person per household is a significant amount of storage space and weight. At an average family size of 2.58 people per household, that is 36 gal. of water.
