Remember a water heater has average of 50 gal drinkable water.
Just something to keep in the back of your mind as we enter these uncertain times (talking long term here).

Might think about going to harbor freight and getting a flint/magnesium fire starter. Or watch some youtube videos on how to start a fire from natural items.

Remember for 50 gal drinkable water there is no need for a water heater.

I'm giving out magnesium fire starters as Christmas gifts this year. My family already knows I'm a doomer, and the firestarters were cheap.

Also if there is something that has happened or coming, storm etc you can fill the bathtub. Don't forget a way to filter your water. I use a katadyn hiker pro and berkey sport bottle for my BOB. I also use a big berky sport for home use.

Just make sure that the bathtub will actually hold it. Most of them don't have a very good seal and the water will very slowly leak out over a period of hours.

Don't forget to open the drain valve and flush the "crap" out every once and awhile. Better to do it now then when you need water and find out the valve is clogged or broken.

Re: Remember a water heater has average of 50 gal drinkable water.
Err....some thoughts on all of that:

Many people have no idea about their hot water system. Is it gas or electric? Is it actually a tank or is it tankless and using a heat exchanger? GO LOOK NOW.

When if ever have you drained it? Most people haven't. GO LOOK NOW and try draining a little when not in operation. Many have lots of corrosion from rust and sediment from soldering agents in piping plus grit. Better to know now, then when you are thinking, "Oh I'm covered on water supply."

Don't drink water from toilet tanks. They most often have very high staph content and you may just have dosed your family with contaminated water. Not wise.

Filling up your bath tub means not being able to have a dedicated place to clean from. It's true that short term you could rapidly fill it with water for flushing. I would never drink water from a tub without a lot of treatment. The dirtiest places in your home are places with sinks. It's a guaranteed way to vastly introduce bacteria into your body.

It's possible to purchase a water bob and therefore create a source of water to drink short-term.

Long term you can't flush or drain the tub since sewer systems may not be able to cope or operate. See Hurricane Sandy especially high rise apartments.

I encourage you to research everything I say for veracity.

Many of these issues are specifically and carefully dealt with 600+ postings in:
