What to do in case of an earthquake? I don't know why, but I had this weird feeling all last night that an earthquake was coming. I have food in case of an emergency, I have water for all of us. I even have an emergency kit for humans and one for Kaji. I'm scared of what Kaji's reaction to an earthquake will be. If you've gone through a natural disaster with your pup, what do you do for them? Weird tidbit: I had a dream last night that the earth shook. There was a big bang, and car alarms went off. I woke up and the lights went out. The blackout was real, the car alarms were real, but I can't tell if the bang was real or not. Kaji was a little freaked out because an alarm went off in the building. It took DWP 4-5 hours to fix the lights. |
No one? |
I lived in California most of my adult life, and that's the one thing I hated about it, you never know when the big one will hit. I didn't like the idea of "standing in a doorway" as a safety precaution. Back East during tornado season you could go to bathroom with no windows or a bathtub and throw blankets over you head and that sounds safer, but that doesn’t work for earthquakes. In AZ we haven’t had earthquakes or tornadoes, but today it was 118, and my eyeballs are sweating. I think the most important thing to have in an emergency is drinkable water. You can life quite a while without food, but not so long without water. You sound like you're better prepared than most, I guess I would be most scared of being split up, do you have a harness with tags handy or does Kaji have a microchip? Don't worry about the dream, you mind just took the sounds it heard and made sense of it. |
I live in the midwest and have no idea how to prepare for an earthquake. What I can tell you is that my intuition is very strong. If I had that feeling come to me I would be preparing for it to come true. Isn't there some type of CA Emergency Preparedness website you could use as a guide to put supplies together? We have several relative that live in SoCal and I know they all have supplies put together in case of emergency. |

I would have a dog bag near so you can just put him in there while you are running around and he will be safe and won't run off. |

If you live in the fault line and it is a massive quake, sometimes all you can do is bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye! Outside of that, have food, plenty of fresh water, radio, batteries, and a 12 gauge Shotgun loaded with 00 buck. You could also consider moving. |
We get more tornadoes than earthquakes but I keep my over-the-shoulder slings handy and when we go to the basement for tornadoes, I take the sling with me just in case there is commotion overhead and I don't want to have to figure out where the doggies are. If they are in the sling they are safe even though they might be terrified. |

That is the first thing I thought of was a carrier to keep him safe. You never know what they are going to do. Maybe just go hide somewhere and you will have to be looking for him all over. Good luck and I hope you never have to use it. :thumbup: |
Have everything you need and for the dog, plus your drivers license and credit cards, ALWAYS together and near the door. If you feel a trimble, grab the dogs and all and get outside and away from any tall structure and just wait it out. If your home is destroyed, at least you can pay for a motel. |

I think a carrier might be better because you can put it on like a purse and still have your hands free for other things. Have you checked out the first aid kit thread? It tells you what to have in a k9 first aid kit. |
