Answer 1

To determine how much water a household needs for 5 days, it's often recommended to store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation.

For a household of 2 adults and 3 children, that totals 5 people.

Calculating for 5 days:
5 people x 1 gallon per person per day x 5 days = 25 gallons

Therefore, it would be prudent to store at least **25 gallons of water** to last 5 days to prepare for a disaster.

So the correct answer is **25**.
