I've always thought we should be prepared for the "big" one. Am I prepared? No. I should give it some more serious thought though. We have always been told to store some water, flashlights with batteries, etc. A long time ago, my brother, a city water supervisor came to talk to a Girl Scout troop I was leading about earth quake preparedness. One of the most important things he said was to have shoes handy, even at night. Because if you step on anything broken, etc. you can't do anything. More than 15 years later...that is what I remember. Good idea in a disaster, don't you think?
