Ways to be ready for the big one....
A 5.4 earthquake hit Southern California yesterday at 11:42am. It was centered near Chino Hills and was felt as far south as San Diego and as far northeast as Las Vegas. (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-la-quake30-2008jul30,0,6284507.story- the story in the LA Times.)
Even though we couldn’t feel the quake up here in the East Bay, we did feel the immediate concern for our loved ones in the LA area. I sent a mass text to all my friends in LA immediately after I heard about the disaster to make sure they were ok.
Let’s not wait until an earthquake sneaks up on the San Andreas or Hayward fault to get prepared. Visit Your Safety Place in Dublin today to get your home ready. They sell all kinds of emergency kits and preparedness equipment.
For earthquakes, they have straps to secure furniture and appliances as well as family survival kits. A 4-Person "Bucket Style" Survival Kit costs $149.99 and comes with a Dynamo radio flashlight that never needs batteries, toilet seats that fit on top of the bucket, and 3 days worth of food and water. Your Safety Place promises to track the life span of your supplies and alert you when it's time to replenish perishable items. Kits are available for any size family.
Don’t wait. Get prepared before it’s too late.

I was in the Landers/Big Bear quakes in 1992, and I learned a preparedness lesson that I had never seen in any literature. It's simple but important. The story is here:

Apparently html is not accepted, so instead you can google Thinking Christian blog, and then look for Earthquake Readiness.
