Earthquake Preparedness

After service this morning, a company called Safe-T-Proof came by to talk about earthquake preparedness. They also brought a trailer that would simulate what an 8.0 earthquake would feel like. Just for comparison sake, the Northridge quake back in 1993 was only 6.8.

A friend's cousin was there from Chicago and she said she'd take the cold winters and tornado's after seeing and trying the quake demo. The company's website if you want more information is http://www.safe-t-proof.com/.

We have been trying to put together some supplies ourselves but we finally broke down and purchased some water and food which will not need to be replaced until October 2012. Some goes in the cars and the rest into the earthquake kits we have. We will need to purchase a few more things, 2 more flash lights that use a crank instead of a battery for power and another fire extinguisher.

I've also been making some changes to the label naming convention for the blog as we had way too many, I'm sure this will be a constant source of work for us, keeping the number of labels small enough to be search able yet descriptive enough to be useful.
