Are YOU Ready for a Disaster? - Page 2

I brought back a 3-day supply of chocolate from Chicago - for use in the event of an emergency. I think we might have one later this evening...

Most emergency kits don't include a radio. You might consider getting a small AM radio or a weather/emergency radio so that in case of emergency you can hopefully get some information. Remember to replace the batteries in your kit every so often.

Thanks for reminding me, it's on my to-do list.

I think I'm about to have a chocolate emergency....

I noticed that many of the safest places listed were near nuclear reactors or research facilities.

Do you suppose they are overlooking the Godzilla factor?

Egads -- Yakima is even safer than Spokane, according to them. And the boredom factor is even higher! Honestly, who wants to live in Yakima?

But there are more wineries closer to Yakima than to Spokane! Makes the boredom much more tolerable!

Obviously they are going off weather/geo risks only, as Yakima is kind of a dangerous little town and is riddled with druggies and drugrunners. So is Spokane, now that I think about it....

I probably should prepare for a disaster, and I don't want to jinx myself by saying this, but what could happen? No tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. near me. No wildfire is going to reach my suburban house. I suppose we could get nuked, but then we'd probably be dead anyways. Still, I plan on accumulating some emergency supplies in the not to distant future.
