Bingo I am glad you have been blessed in life to have owned a trailer and were in a position to purchase generators for use during your camping adventures. A great number of campers don't have them. We always carry 5 gal of water in a jug as well, but we usually dump it out shortly after returning to minimize any taste issues and so that we always have fresh water with us. Again you were lucky to still have that water available.
We keep 48 bottles of water in our home all the time strictly for emergency use, along with some food and emergency supplies. That has nothing to do with camping or past camping experience, we just decided to make that provision in case we ever needed them.
The vast majority of folks affected in your area unfortunately do not have those things and in all likelyhood will not learn the lesson of being somewhat prepared for even a small emergency once they get back to normal living again. That's just the way it is.

I hope the water issue is quickly resolved and there are not long lasting effects from the spill. Glad you are getting by better than some and also that you share what you have. It is the thing to do under these circumstances.
