re: Why don't people use the faucet during hurricane prep?

Um, a lot of places don't have safe drinking water from the faucet

So you want drinking water but you don't feel like you should have to pay for it? Typical millennial thinking everything should be handed to you for free, thanks for ruining the country.

used to be part of the prep to fill bath tubs and sinks.

We did this when I was a kid.

I mean, I have family in Sarasota that couldn't drink the water out of the faucets.

I'm too good to drink water out of the tap. That's for the poors

Having water pressure is not a guarantee

1) some people are on well water, lose power, lose water
2) water line breaks can happen, and cause drop or loss in pressure.
3) some ares are not on tower assisted water and rely on pumps, lose power to pumping stations lose water
4) prolong power outages will keep the pumps from filling to towers, and will eventually result in water loss.

edit:

and this is Florida we are talking about, a giant version of Livingston Parish. Wonder how many jorts wearing residents are on well water....

Hurricane prep. As in... before the storm gets there fill up containers with water.

I'll use the bladder for bathing water. I keep about 30 gallons of water at my hide at any given time anyways.

That's to flush the toilet once you lose water, right?
