Earthquake Preparedness
Not really a nudist topic, but one which cant affect a lot of us. What goes into an earthquake prep kit? What tools would you pack, what modern marvels would you leave behind? I want to make one up, and stash it out in the shed for a just in case precaution.How many of us are prepared to outlast the 72 hours we are told to get ready for?

If you have camping gear it would be best to store that away from the house. Camping gear would include a tent, sleeping bags, camp stove, rain gear and fire starter. Besides the camping gear you'll need water, food, medical supplies, especially prescriptions, clothing, flashlight, money or valuables to barter with, disposable plates andeating utensils,and this is important, TP.
The first thing most people will think to grab is their cell phone. In a real emergency cell phone service will probably get knocked out and what service there is, will be over loaded. Remember, you're going to be on your own for 72 hours or more.

All great answers so far.....I was thinking water, canned food, fuel and cookstove, sleeping bags, first aid kit..matches and lighters. Ropes and Tarps. Axe or hatchet, pocket utility tool, flashlights or glow sticks. Maybe some perishables like juice and treats. A bottle of vodka is useful for medicinal purposes, TP is a modern marvel with many uses, and womens sanitary supplies, which can be SO useful as first aid supplies.Anything I am forgetting or not thinking about?

Google may be great but it won't help you in an emergency. You need the actual materials on hand. Your computer will probably be down because of no internet connections.

The subject is "PREPAREDNESS". Asking for advice on this site if very short sighted. Expand your search.
