| You know, I live by one of the largest fault lines in the US (The New Madrid) I don't even have an earthquake plan because we rarely have quakes. I think we've had maybe 2 or 3 in 5 years and they were all under 5.0's. I think this site has several good links: FAQs - Earthquake Preparedness I think I'd add kibble to my list of things to have on hand and any medications your pups may be on. The lists are always aimed at humans and not the other members of our families.

| I don't live in an earthquake prone area, though I do remember a good shock wave long ago. But we can have tornadoes & we haven't in 30ish years so I keep fearing that we are due. Spring weather made me really worry. So I threw a bag together with a blanket, 2 beach towels, some sample bags of kibble, bottled water, nutri-cal, first aid kit, crank flashlight & some other food. It did make me feel a little better, though I'm still not thrilled with no real first floor safety. I did struggle with the idea of how to have Princess-she has a hard carrier & leashes, still can't decide if I should leash her or hold her or crate her. I think there are cons to both.

| 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?
