good tip, thanks
Sodium Hypochlorite in powder form will last for years, as will many things with proper storage. You're right, though, if everything fails, we'll have to learn new/old ways of doing things, including sanitation.
Correction calcium hypochlorite or HTH (in the super form), your going to need a chart to delete it properly, I've seen some instances where people have used this to treat water for consumption and get accidentally poisoned. I think I posted an early pdf on how to properly calculate the mixture in water.
though correct me if I am wrong, sodium hypochlorite is bleach (liquid form) while calcium hypochlorite is chlorine (powder form) I won't use calcium hypochlorite because it does have a shelf life, after a year it has to be re-calculated because of degradation (though dependent upon storage) and because of the dangers of the unknown (storage/age) it is unsafe.

Here's an interesting article on the dangers of bleach and substitutes for disinfecting. There are plenty of ways to disinfect water without using bleach that have already been covered in other threads here.
