All of the uncertainty surrounding the world's computers operating properly when the calendar flipped to the year 2000. Would the computers send us back to the 1900s, essentially interrupting life as we knew it, or would life proceed as normal at the stoke of midnight on Jan. 1, 2000? We all know that the transition from 1999 to 2000 was uneventful, but in the years leading up to that fate- ful New Year's Eve, there was a lot of hand-wringing and speculation. However, through all the craziness of people stockpiling beans and batteries, we learned some valuable lessons about being prepared. Whether we're getting ready to sur- vive a natural disaster or a worldwide computer glitch, there are things that we need to have on hand. Water is one of them. Consider the following while you're creating your list, gathering your supplies and getting your water ready to store: 1) On a typical day, one person uses 54 gallons of water for showers, toilet flushing, washing, brushing, cooking and drinking. However, in an emer- gency, water usage can be reduced to about 1 gallon per person per day. 2) Select storage containers that are not too large. Water weighs about 8 Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff ’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

Counterfeit •Valero Gas Station reported to Red Bluff Police Sunday receiving a counterfeit $50 bill. Crashes •A Red Bluff man pounds per gallon. Storing water in extremely large containers is impracti- cal if you need your water supply to be mobile. 3) Two-liter plastic bot- tles work best for storing water. Clean them thor- oughly before adding water. 4) Fill each container with tap water, and add a few drops of liquid unscented chlorine bleach. Cover it tightly, and store it in a dark place. 5) Leave ade- quate space in the con- tainer for expansion if water will be stored in a place that could freeze. 6) Do not use plastic milk jugs for emergency water storage. They often are made of biodegradable material and will split or deteriorate in a short time. 7) If you run out of your water sup- goods stores. 8) If the need arises, remember you have additional sources of water in your home. Your water heater contains anywhere from 25 to 75 gallons of good, clean water, and each toilet tank (not bowl) contains several gallons. If you receive a heads-up that you'll need your own water supply for a while, fill your bathtubs. You can count on another 15-20 gallons per tub.
