Damaged water lines
Don't flush the toilet. Avoid digging holes.
Toilet is NOT Flushable
Remove all bowl water, line with heavy-duty plastic bag.
Homemade soil bags
Put one large grocery bag inside another, and a layer of shredded newspaper or other absorbent material between.
Disposing garbage
Old newspaper can be used for wrapping garbage and lining larger containers.http://pgward.org/ep/archives/category/sanitation
