I'm just curious to hear other people's thoughts in case I'm not thinking of something; what's the best place to store emergency water in your house? Does anyone see any problem with storing emergency water under the bed?
It seems logical since it's out of sunlight, utilizes precious space, and usually temperature controlled. But someone wondered about in case of a severe earthquake, the bed may crush the water underneath if it collapses. But if an earthquake is that strong, I don't think any place in a house would be safe. In fact, I would think under the bed would shield the water from falling debris more than any other place in the house? Or maybe there are other issues that I'm not thinking of? Or are there other places that people recommend?
I know it's not a major issue but I'd love to hear people's thoughts if any. Thanks in advance for all your answers.
