Safety

The best earthquake survival kits include everything you'll need to improve your chances of making it through the aftermath of an earthquake unscathed.
Consider that there may be loss of power, minimal transportation, difficulty in obtaining food, and even the possibility of being unable to leave your home or office where you were when the disaster struck. Because of the uncertainty of where you will be when an earthquake strikes, if you live in or near an earthquake-prone area, you should plan to buy or assemble earthquake survival kits for the home, office and vehicles.
A well-equipped first-aid kit is the foundation of any solid contingency plan. There are common elements found in each kit, but the contents should change to match where the kit will be stored and how it will be used.
