Are YOU Ready for a Disaster? - Page 3

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.

Hrm. I'm not sure Mr. T will fit in my trunk. Is there a portable model for on the road?

This might work:

Ahhh yes! I forgot about Godzilla. I've found, however, that one can escape Godzilla's clutches simply by not running directly in front of his feet and screaming your head off. If Godzilla ever attacks my neighborhood you'll find me in the bathtub with a mattress over my head hurricane style.

I have enough food for at least 72 hours. If I stop drinking my normal 2+ gallons of water a day then I have enough water for a week. I have an amazing first aid kit from Costco (they don't seem to have them anymore), battery powered lantern, regular flash light (that is taped to the top of my container) and small battery powered radio.

This weekend my kit will be getting a pair of pants, closed toe shoes, socks, sweatshirt, tp and paper towel.

I think what happened with Katrina made a lot of people realize they may really have to survive for at least 72 hours. That it's no longer just a suggestion but reality.
