Greetings from Tennessee. Something you need to consider is leaving a little bit of water in the toilet if you're on a city sewer system. This will prevent sewer gas from backing up into your house. Something Jonathan might want to touch on is if you're on a city sewer system you need to know where the shut-off valve is for your house because if you're down hill from the rest of your neighborhood and the transfer pumps aren't working guess where everybody's sewage from uphill is going to wind up!?

Well big duh on me! I’ve been a long term prepper and even used a composting toilet years ago. I have a luggable loo and pellets to absorb, etc. But I never thought about use my existing toilet which is much more convenient and comfortable! Thank you!

I am rural and have my own well and septic system. If they are predicting a bad storm, where power may be off for a while, I usually fill the bathtub full of water for flushing toilet purposes. (large family fill two or three bathtubs up) And then I use a small bucket or large pitcher of some sort to dip water from the tub to flush the toilet. Keeps from having several 5 gallon buckets full of water sitting around in the way.Just make sure your tub drain/stopper doesn’t leak and your tub is clean. And also you have plenty of water for other purposes albeit cold, but better than nothing
