I noticed alot of people commenting on storing water. It is much easier to store a few gallons of chlorine to sanitize whatever you can find, than it is to store hundreds of gallons of drinking water. The dosage rate is 1/4 oz per 10 gallons of water. Let the chlorine dissipate and you have sanitized water.

For anyone who was wondering, 1.5 tsp is the amound for 10 gal.
edit: 0.25oz is 7.39338242 ml https://www.convertunits.com/from/quarter+ounce/to/ml
So if you only have gallon jugs 0.75ml (just use a children's med dropper) should do the trick.
If you have to refill those 5 gallon blue water tanks for office water stands, simply do the math. 3.69ml in a dropper would do it (or about 3/4 tsp). Heck even a 5 gallon bucket would work if needed then ladle into more manageable containers.
edit 2: assuming OP was talking about bleach, this should work and is stable at room temperature.
edit 3: Here is a guy suggesting different measurements depending on the strength of bleach. u/PlumberFag seems this link below is suggesting about half of what you were stating, though a 2nd round may be needed which falls easily within your suggestion. Good advice fren.

Granted it seems an oz is about 5.7 tsp.
Rounded up at a quarter oz is about 1 & 1/2 tsp.
