I definitely need to work on water more than food, it's probably time to do a bit of an audit and go from there. Been gradually acquiring some odds and ends like water purification tablets etc. too.
I have a PUR water filter (thrift store cheap) that does really well, 3 months of great tasting water. I have saved and filled 89 ounce juice jugs and stashed 'em in a closet. I have a half dozen 1 gallon jugs behind my TV chair.
My time and space is limited to my ability to adapt and improvise @ 76yo on very limited SS income. the Front Range of Colorado is part of the high desert. I also have a couple filter pumps with a catch basin across the street. The stockpile of PUR filters I got at thrifts @ 10 cents on the $$.
Please see my response above-I am most definitely in the poverty level, BUT I am living like a prince-a self sufficient one. At 76, be assured I am healthier than 90% of my peers.

Good stuff. Priorities are dictated by individual circumstance and it sounds like you have a solid handle on yours. I’m glad you are being proactive
PUR is better than nothing, but get yourself a reverse osmosis filter to get rid of fluoride.
For an emergency, Berkey is a good one and has a fluoride upgrade available.
