Great Washington ShakeOut

washingtonshakeoutWhat would you do if the ground starting shaking right now? How would you reunite with your family? How would you survive for a few days if the area infrastructure was messed up? Education around those questions is the target of the Great Washington ShakeOut taking place today at 10:15am.

Tyla and I recently purchased an earthquake survival kit which just amounts to a backpack loaded with three days of food, water, and some basic supplies. We also have a generator and a bigger cash of canned food in the event that we’re able to stay on our property but can’t get food from the stores. It’s all stuff you hope that you never have to use, but if you do need it, you’ll probably wish you had done more!
