Answers to some questions that came up during our discussion:
Where to purchase Iodine Tablets? Here are two sites I found selling Iodine Tablets. I searched in Google and these are the first two sites that popped up (one and two). Prices run approximately $7.00 for 50 tablets. I don't know anything about these products or the companies selling them; this is just an example to show you where you might purchase these products and how to find them if you are interested in Iodine Tablets as a method of water purification. It was also brought up in discussion that you can ask your local pharmacy to order them for you.

Where to purchase high capacity water tanks? High capacity water tanks can be found at this website surewatertanks.com. They sell a 275 gallon water tank and a 575 gallon water tank. These tanks hold substantially more than the traditional 55 gallon water tanks.

The church and water filters. The LDS church's provident living website offers links and product reviews for two companies that sell water filters: www.seychelle.com and www.katadyn.com. As far as I could determine the church itself does not actually sell these water filters they just offer an option of where you might purchase these products if you where interested in filters as a method of water purification.
