Abstract: A temporary emergency water storage system provided for use in emergencies, such as hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, winter storms and other natural disasters in which municipal and/or fresh water supplies are cut off or rendered impure or un-potable. The temporary water storage can also be used to provide a supply of water in times of man made disasters, such as war or acts of terrorism or vandalism which can render municipal water supplies suspect or unusable. The temporary emergency water storage device is used in conjunction with the building's bathing pools. The bathing pool's water supply provides the source of the potable water that is stored prior to plan use. The temporary emergency water storage system includes a flexible storage bag for storing the protected potable water and pump for dispensing the potable water.
