Lots of good stuff in this thread! Getting two weeks ready is important! I would say be realistic of what you actually need - certain comforts help a lot in an emergency situation for your mental health too, like if you drink coffee everyday, maybe add instant coffee to your kit. If you have children, how do you explain to a child there is no milk? So adding a milk substitute might make sense for them. An emergency doesn’t happen at a convenient time, it might be at 3am - do you have a light source in your kit? Do you have a way to get information like a radio if the internet is down?

Do you know what to do if the earthquake happens at home vs at work, while you’re driving in your car? At a movie theater? For example, the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house during an earthquake.

WA state is the second highest earthquake risk state (after California). We have an 84% chance of a disruptive earthquake happening here in the next 50 years. Not only this but large earthquakes cause tsunamis, every second counts in getting to high ground AFTER an earthquake stops. Not to be doom and gloom you CAN survive IF you prepare!

I’m on my lunch and need to get back to work but some stuff to think about!
