Science

An emergency kit regardless of where you are. There really aren't too many things in an earthquake kit than any other that I can think of though individual preferences apply. Up here near the wilderness, we keep that shit handy all the time. If you drive around in the US National Forests, you're supposed to have a shovel and a bucket in your vehicle.

Most everyone who lives out here, the actual locals who have any sense, have a "go bag" with gear needed to survive a week or two outdoors in bad weather. Don't have to be a 'prepper' to know why if you live up here in rough country. If I lived in a city in the east, I'd still maintain my 'go bag'.

Bad stuff happens no matter where you are, it's always good to have certain things handy just in case.
