That's what I do. But after Katrina showed we cannot count on FEMA I'm slowly stocking up for a month. That just means I have food in my emergency kit and extra dry goods in my pantry. If there was a really bad earthquake I'd pack my backpack and start making my way to my parents house where there would be enough food for a few months (just the way they shop).

What abuterol shortage?
