Why Did FEMA Just Put a Rush Order on 5 Million Bottles Of Water?By Daisy Luther So when they place a large order for something that they want absolutely immediately, I pay attention. A few days ago, FEMA put out a solicitation for 5 million bottles of water, to be delivered within 2 days. It said they had an urgent requirement for this water. From FedBizOpps: Bottled Water Quantity up to 5,000,000 Bottled Water must be delivered in 1/2 or 1 liter bottles only All Trailers are required to be dropped at delivery location for up to 30 days All bottled water must bereceivedby Friday, August 26, 2016 Delivery Location ISB Maxwell AFB That sounds like a heck of an emergency, and one that might be approaching quite rapidly. Soliciting a supplier to deliver 5 million bottles of water with 48 hours notice doesnt seem to be the normal way of doing business for FEMA, does it? And why are the trucks to be left there for 30 days? Thats another thing that strikes me as interesting. One possibility is that they are getting ready for the potential hurricanes headed for parts of the United States, but whether the pending emergency is that or something more sinister, wed all do well to make sure our own water preparedness is up to speed. Water. You need water. If you arent already well-supplied, stop what youre doing and stock up on water. All sorts of water. Hand washing water, drinking water, water for pets. If youre a prepper, you know the drill. You may already have everything you need on hand. Take a moment to check that you have everything you need. We arent always lucky enough to get a warning that a water emergency could be approaching, so when you actually do get one, youd be foolish not to heed it and get prepared for your family. If you want to learn more about preparing for a water emergency, you can check out my book, The Preppers Water Survival Guide.If you arent prepared yet and you really want to be, check out my 10-week class, which begins on Sept. 11. Whatever route you take to getting prepped, dont delay. If FEMA wanted to be ready within 48 hours, that could mean that we have even less time.

Use the money or lose the budget. My guess would be that one of their buddies owns the supplier and sought some personal gain. FEMAs always wasting resources. But heck! The people shouldnt be concerned if theyd already filled their cabinets and closets with all the water they possibly could. TY for making me laugh Undeciderhilarious. Will this water be poisoned. Depopulation! Stop trying to freak people out! The federal governments fiscal year ends on September 30th. Delivery has to be before the fiscal year end to come out of that budget. If they have money that needs to be spent before the fiscal year end, of course they will buy items in bulk. And this freaks me out even more! Thank you for pointing that out. And with Hurricane Season upon us, it makes sense they would be placing orders for drinking water. My thoughts exactly. Maybe for a FEMA camp? Maybe a scheme to allow Nestle to raise their prices claiming a shortage? Who bottled the water? Maybe its a crony deal. Maybe its for the governments underground bunkers or the banksters bunkers. One thing is for sure, its not or us we just pay for it. The EPA is doing this just because they CAN and their budget is way too high There is a hurricane in the gulf. And it is hurricane season. Maybe theyre finally tired of being called losers for always dropping the ball There actually could be an ordinary explanation for it. Hurricane Hermione is about to slam Floridas Gulf Coast, after all, and Alabama is on the Gulf of Mexico, and is not expected to itself be hit.
