Are YOU prepared for a natural disaster?

Every place I've ever worked, we had earthquake preparedness. Some of the buildings I worked in were over 50 stories tall. So they HAD to prepare. I'm in a small building now, not in the heart of the city, so they feel safe. I on the other hand may be too paranoid, I have emergency stuff in cars, garage, home, work, etc.

Be safe everyone and prepare.

As of last weekend I got an emergency kit organised in my storage shed, far from perfect but getting there. Also I have a small portable file case, putting some of the most essential papers there. I live on or near the Hayward fault so I better get my rear in gear 8-(

My job is pretty safety concious, I work for "da phone company" out here, we have emergency supplies on every floor or every building, all on a regular inspection schedule.

This makes me aware I'm pretty thankful, the most vulnerable of the huricane survivors and the most hurt were/are poor. It's hard to have back up food if you don't have food, hard to have back up supplies in the car if you don't have a car etc. Most of us are pretty lucky.
