I've been spending time in my local Red Cross chapter for awhile.

FWIW, while 72 hours is the official number, folks teaching the Red 
Cross classes almost invariably advise doing preparation for 5-7 days. 
Given a liter of water per person per day, that's an example of a very 
large difference in planning and provisioning.
