I usually operate on the assumption that if we are prepared, nothing will happen. We don't have fires, but we do have tornadoes and are near a fault line, though there hasn't been a major one in more than 200 years. I guess that means it's about time.

We usualy have cash and pet food on had as well as canned food, but don't always have water, medicines, access to a working flashlight, although we do have candles. I guess we' d have to depend on the car radio, too. One thing I have been meaning to do for years is to learn how to turn off the gas outside the house. I have a wrench somewhere but am not sure how to do it. I think I heard somewhere you could ask the fire dept. and they would come and show you, or should I call the gas company? Anyone know?
