California Earthquake and other Emergency Supply Kit

I’m making it a semi-annual task to check and update our emergency supply kit, and currently I’m looking for guidance to California-specific emergencies.

Did you know there a Governor’s Office with programs for earthquakes, tsunami, and volcanoes?!

Cal OES | Office of Emergency Management

What… do we do for volcanoes? I suddenly feel very under-prepared!

So… basically all I’ve been able to do is ensure we have fresh water and our first aid kit has bandages.

And therefore, I’m going to push this into a different project, where we assess our local emergency supply needs, and then address them.

(Let’s survive, ya’ll!)
