Earthquake preparedness thread - post your suggestions or questions

SFFD NERT Classes.

(Neighborhood Emergency Response Team)

I took this course last year and reccomend it without any reservations.
The SFFD instructors are quite thorough and cover more than earthquakes.

It's free. www.sf-fire.org/index.aspx?page=859

This isn't a bad idea....could probably make your own Just-In-Case bag:

I think if you have a dual sport/dirtbike....or even a horse you would be able to travel even if the feds shut down the roads, highways, etc. Maybe a mountain bike to get back and forth to the store/gas station, etc.

People commuting across bridges and through tunnels need to be aware, you could be stuck for days without being able to reach your loved ones. So, having a bag in your car for you and one at home for your family is vital. You may need to take special steps to prepare if you take public transportation to work as well.

Ladies: Pack tennis shoes and extra clothes in your bag (in your car or at work). You don't want to be stuck in your high heels and skirt for days on end.

Alice pack is tried and true and easy to repair. Easy to water proof as well.

But what do I know I don't keep a "Bug out" bag. Carried a ruck more than once in my life though
 
Bump. Winter is coming. Many of us live in areas that can end up blocked in, or out, of our homes for days or longer with no services.

You need condoms, whiskey, spam and ammo. :teeth
 
Anyone know of another alternative to buying these nylon straps for securing tall furniture? They're kinda pricey and i'd need quite a few sets.
 
Those are pretty good, but it depends on what you need them for. Anything that's not actually antique/heirloom/really expensive just gets bolted straight to the wall at my place.
 
Booze. :thumbup

And small bills.

Medication, spare critter stuff, and...batteries. Wind-up radio/flashlight.

More booze.

:D
