Distribution of the guide “Tous responsables” (We Are All Responsible) by the French government

The government has just published the guide ‘Tous responsables’ (We are all responsible), a document designed to help every citizen deal with the various crises that may affect the country: armed conflicts, climate phenomena, health risks, technical and technological accidents, cyber attacks, terrorist threats, etc. This guide reminds us of something obvious: we are all responsible for our own safety, and it is essential to know the right reflexes, the priority actions to take and the vital needs to anticipate in the event of a deteriorating situation.

What does the government's survival guide contain?

Understanding priorities in a crisis situation

The guide details the main principles of preparedness:

  • knowing how to identify warning signs,
  • having a minimum level of self-sufficiency,
  • being able to cope for a few days even if certain essential services are disrupted. It includes advice on food, energy, communication, family organisation, mutual aid, etc.

Among these elements, one point stands out as absolutely central: water and food management.

Why does water quickly become a vital issue in a crisis?

The guide reminds us that water is one of the most difficult basic needs to secure in a crisis.

A network interruption, accidental pollution or simple health concerns can be enough to render tap water unusable.

To be self-sufficient, the government now recommends storing 6 litres of water per person per day to cover drinking, food preparation and essential hygiene needs.

But storing that much water quickly becomes a challenge due to lack of space, regular rotation, weight, cost, plastic limitations, etc.

In reality, in a crisis situation, it is better to plan for around 10 to 15 litres of water per person per day, or a total of 120 to 180 litres for a family of four over three days. It is impossible to store such a quantity in plastic bottles.

This is precisely why many households are now looking for a sustainable alternative to bottle storage.

A more sustainable and self-sufficient solution: being able to filter your own water

The guide does not require any specific equipment, but one of the most logical strategies adopted by many is to have a self-contained water filter.

This type of equipment allows you to purify the fresh water available around you, even if the mains supply is interrupted or unreliable.

This is where a French solution renowned for its robustness and versatility comes in: the ORISA® water purifier

ORISA®: the French water filter designed for autonomy and resilience

Designed and manufactured in France, based on specifications developed with major NGOs such as Médecins Sans Frontières and the French Red Cross, ORISA® is a system designed to filter all fresh water from microbiological contamination.
