The French government's emergency kit
A few weeks ago, we told you about the emergency kit that Emmanuel Macron's French government is preparing to raise public awareness of crisis management. We now know more: it will take the form of a booklet entitled ‘Tous résilients’ (We are all resilient), a title that clearly reflects its ambition to help everyone better anticipate and respond to exceptional situations.
Why have an emergency survival kit, and what form should it take?
Why send an emergency kit to French citizens?
A practical guide, but in what form?
Access to drinking water, a vital issue for survival
Among all essential needs, access to reliable drinking water remains paramount. In the event of a crisis, whether it be a natural disaster, armed conflict or other, water distribution networks can be disrupted and bottled water can quickly become unavailable.
In this context, the ORISA® water purifier is indispensable. Compact, easy to use and durable, it filters fresh water from natural sources such as lakes, rivers or rain.
Having a water filter in your kit guarantees your water independence for drinking, cooking or maintaining basic hygiene. It also means you no longer need to store plastic water bottles.
Why is storing bottled water a bad idea?
-
Space requirements
-
Degradation over time
-
Transport difficulties in the event of evacuation
-
Dependence on continuous supply
The ORISA® water purifier: Autonomy and sustainability
ORISA® is a water purifier made in France that works by manual pumping and removes microbiological contaminants (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, microplastics) from fresh water using a durable ultrafiltration membrane. Each membrane can filter up to 20,000 litres of water, equivalent to more than 13,000 1.5-litre plastic water bottles.
Its strengths: filtration and reliability
- Instant filtration
- Eliminates viruses, bacteria and protozoa
- Works without any connection
- Operates by simple manual pumping
- Suitable for households or small groups
- Easily transportable
- Designed and manufactured in France
- Can be stored and reused for several years
It is a reliable and sustainable alternative to storing bottled water and the public water supply. It is ideal for inclusion in a survival kit or, better still, as part of a long-term self-sufficiency strategy.
