Make a Plan and an Earthquake Survival Kit!

These are some of the tools to help you escape a building during an earthquake!

The Easter, 2010, earthquake in southern California and  the catastrophic quake in Chile later that year should have been a  wakeup call to anyone who lives in an earthquake zone. You need to make a  personal earthquake survival kit that you can carry with you at all  time.
BUT!
An earthquake, tsunami or other natural disaster is unlikely to  happen? And, of course, not to you? You don’t need to read further!
….Still here?

Then here’s a couple of facts: About 91 percent of us live in an area where a major natural disaster could occur. In ANY emergency, 80 percent of  the people involved will be in denial of the situation and have to be  told what to do, according to John Leach, author of Survival Psychology. 
Of that crowd in the emergency, 10 percent will do the wrong thing, and the other 10 percent will act rationally, based on the training they have acquired.
If you want to be a survivor, of any emergency situation, you have to start with knowledge and training.

Runner's Urban Survival Kit Can Be a Lifesaver

Make a runner's survival kit.

Survival situations can happen when you least expect it, or in places where such a thing doesn’t make sense.
Maybe you’ve gotten into the habit  of taking a run in the same urban area every evening. Then, one evening, the endorphins kick in, and you decide to double the usual mileage. As darkness approaches, you realize you have to get back to the car before it gets really dark. You slip, twist your ankle and can’t move.
Or you might decide to go for a walk and just take off without thinking to tell someone where you went. You’re strolling along, relaxing and enjoying the iPod, and letting the stress from the office dissipate. Then, as it starts to get dark, you realize you’ve taken a wrong turn and are lost. And pretty soon, it will be pitch dark, and you can’t see the path.
Even if you are running and need to go light, you can still carry a survival kit. Here are some of the survival items you need to carry with you.
