*PLEASE NOTE* If your post is about how you'd never set foot in "Kommiefornia", how we should leave this horrible state or general bad mouthing of CA please move on to another thread. This thread is for Californian's (and anyone else that preps for quakes) to discuss prepping for our next big quake. Thanks.
I thought I would start this thread to share the News article but also for people to discuss strategies and preps for a BIG quake that can do some real damage.
It's been said many times before and it will happen sometime but all signs point to the fact that we better be prepared.

| A 2008 U.S. Geological Survey report warned that a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault would cause more than 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, $200 billion in damage and severe, long-lasting disruptions. Among the predicted problems: The sewer system could be out of commission for six months. |
If/when we get "the big one" chances are water and electricity will be gone for some amount of time. Do you have plenty of water/food? Batteries for flashlights and radios? A meeting place for family members if you're not together when it happens? Fire extinguishers? because the fire dept. will probably be busy or unable to reach you.
If anyone has any suggestions, tips or info please feel free to add them.
Be ready and stay safe!
