Three litres, three days, and reasons to plan beyond it
Get Ready New Zealand currently recommends at least three litres of drinking water per person per day and a supply for at least three days. In the app, adults can select one to ten people and three, five or seven days to see the simple multiplication.
The result covers only a baseline for drinking and basic hygiene. Hot conditions, physical activity, cooking, cleaning, babies, nursing mothers, illness, accessibility needs, pets and a longer outage can require more. Rillmark does not calculate medical or species-specific requirements.
CONTOUR 02
Containers, storage and inspection
Current public guidance recommends sound food-grade containers and cautions against milk bottles, which are difficult to clean. Containers should be prepared according to current official instructions, sealed, protected from heat and sunlight, kept away from fuels or chemicals, and placed where adults can handle them safely.
Heavy containers belong low and stable. A household should inspect its reserve and use an external reminder if desired; Rillmark stores no dates, notifications, container list or inventory history.
CONTOUR 03
Session-only by design
The people and days controls are temporary working state. The values are not saved after the app session, tied to a profile, transmitted, shared or interpreted as proof of readiness.
Adults should maintain current contacts, meeting arrangements, dependent information and any medically informed requirements in an appropriate household process outside this app. The Reserve Shelf intentionally has no names, notes or emergency-contact fields.
