How these tools work
Built on published planning figures
Water math follows the CDC and FEMA baseline of one gallon per person per day for drinking and cooking, plus additional allowance for basic hygiene. Food math uses a 2,000-calorie adult baseline with adjustments for children and activity level. Every output links back to the guide that explains the reasoning.
