“This kit would contain enough food, water, and supplies to sustain each member of a household for a minimum of 72 hours. A battery powered radio is also essential to have on hand.”
I remember as a kid, probably early 70s, Rosie from “Laugh In” on a talk show saying she had an earth quake survival bag in her car. They treated her like a nut. I thought it sounded pretty sensible at the time. It made an impression on me. As a nurse, I guarantee I have one heck of an emergency medical back pack...and a few other necessary supplies.
At least this "hoax" may wake up more folks to get ready for the inevitable.
I have lots of emergency stuff in my car as well as several cases of food, batteries, water etc. in different places at home - including the garage. Plenty of food etc. for the kitties too.
Twice a year - when summertime begins and ends - I check for expiration dates and replace anything out of date.
We are due for the big one here in California. No-one should be surprised when it happens.
