The best survival strategy is to know your neighbors.
The best earthquake preparedness strategy is to live in a house that's not heavy enough to kill you, and if that's not possible, then one that's thoroughly anchored to the ground and screwed together. Some drinking water would be good. An earthquake will not stop crops from growing, and you can get along without food, if need be, for a week or so while delivery / distribution problems are sorted out.
Dont live in an Earthquake zone.as mentioned by "Rockhound" here in Australiaemergencies or disasters do bring communities together.Emergeny support including food and drinking water andaccommodationis always quickly on the scene no mater what the event.However loss of Electricity and some forms ofcommunicationsfor multiple days would be a major concern to many.
Re solar power a simple system is easy to put together. The best would be a stack of PV cells, a regulator, batteries, and an inverter to convert the DC from the cells and batteries to 110- 240v AC, try camping stores to see what is available..Here in Aus ourGovernmentsprovide assistance payments to install house systems so we pay about $1000 per Kilowatt for our systems and if we generate excess power it can be fed back into our supply grid to offset the power bill from the utility company.
I feel sad that you people in other countries fear so much that you have to resort to firearms instead of compassionYes we get looters moving in areas where people have been evacuated from, but our police are always prepared for that and come down hard on the cretins.
Unless you live in amulti-storey complex not everything is totally destroyed. Not like a bush fire or flood where nothing is left.
Take care and Stay bare,Cheers Keith
I tend to believe in the power of community, the idea of people helping people. If I need a gun to remain alive, that means I have to be prepared to shoot anyone who wants what I have. I would not have an issue sharing what I have with those who are in need. We all come together during disaster and adversity, and I think the gun part of the scenario is not going to be a part of my plan.
One only has to look at the plight of those suffering after the typhoon in thePhilippines. and the breakdown in society as people try to survive, Guns as one shopkeeper found out, cant stop the people ransacking places looking for food and water to drink just to stay alive.
