Good reminder!
Re: Feel free to contribute ideas.
Don’t forgot your gun.
The majority of people in your neighborhood have not prepared for an earthquake, which means they will have a very deep interest in YOUR food.
During the ‘89 quake, most of San Jose was in a stand-still for a week.
And the epicenter was 100 miles away.
I live in New Jersey
Only time we had earthquakes was when Governor Christie was jumping up and down
Toilet paper.
Oh.
Wait.
It’s San Francisco.
Cement sidewalk.
Can opener?
Always funny when Libs start thinking about prepping!
Just get self opening cans.
Also add some paperback books, your cell/ipod etc.
Bingo! That is especially true if your neighbors are "liberals" - their view of life is based on taking things from others, to "redistribute" in a way that the "liberals" view as "fair"...

Do I have to shoot my neighbors? I kinda like most of them...
Maybe I should just shoot them now as a preventative measure... Ya' never know.....
You’ll need water to drink & for washing if mains are broken..
I keep several 5-gal Primo bottles., the kind normally used upside-down on the water coolers, only I dont use the cooler.
Instead, I have the Dolphin screw-on pumps that fit on top of the Primo bottles.
Sold at Lowes, Walmart. Prices vary widely.
Non-electric can openers and battery-operated lanterns are a must.
Solar lanterns can be placed outside to charge in the daytime..
A tool for shutting off gas & knowledge where & how to do so safely. EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE GAS, YOUR NEIGHBORS MIGHT NEED HELP.
Schumacher (& many other companies) sells a cheap Power Station/ inverter (like a generator, but quiet & needs no gas.) Can be charged from electric outlet, or, with an adapter, charged from your car’s cigarette lighter.
Lots of ammo for the many guns.
A water filter and or a life straw for every person in your group.
“Always funny when Libs start thinking about prepping!”
Yep. What they don’t understand is if the “9” hots, which is the one they are concerned about, no one is going to get to you unless they fly as there will be no roads and rubble everywhere. There will be fires in every major city, and it will be felt in high numbers for a couple of hundred miles away. The one they had in San Francisco in 1989, a 6.9, shook my chair in south Sacramento and it cracked the Capital building in the downtown. And that was 90 miles away from the city and over 150 miles from the epicenter near Santa Cruz. And there are fault lines all over the state.
I laugh at people who talk about making sure you have a gun to protect your stash from hungry people. If you have food and water, and you have a gun or two, so what. You will be so badly outnumbered as the marauders will have guns, too, when they steal them from leveled stores. Does the name Custer ring a bell. Earthquake kits come alive in a perfect world. We don’t have one and we are still animals being pushed back into survival mode by the incident. Good luck on that one.
The only earthquake kit is your feet walking to find active civilization. And the distance is based upon the size of the quake, the route you can take, and the distance to the next city that is still standing and if you accidentally run into someone that can fly you out with a chopper like the Red Cross. And that’s less than even odds.

Beer. Lots of Beer
Self opening cans should be replaced more often.
