I dont think theres much preparing to do if a Sunami hits other than get the hell out of there as quick as you can. And the only way to know when its gonna hit is through technology in which we depend on others to relay to us.


If you are at the beach and notice an excessive or unusual retreat of water...run for high ground as fast as you can! Many people were killed in the Indian Ocean Tsunami because they went to see the newly exposed beach....

So far today there have been 9 rumbles in Yellowstone National Park...
this is an everyday, all day long occurrence and they have increased each year. Since yellow stone's caldera is over 30 miles long and 8 miles wide... and is a "Super Volcano".... when she blows, she blows.
Those of us on this half of the country are history...and the rest of the country deals with the fall out.

I'm putting my focus into enjoying the now....


Great escape plan! noway

If California falls into the ocean then Texas will surely begin to tip...Texans may just be sliding into the gulf of Mexico! bigsmile

nahhh wrong tectonic plates

the area under (west) Texas is pretty stable. mostly limestone escarpments (with oil trapped underneath)

that is why they have the low level nuclear waste depository just north of us in southern New Mexico

the closest geological activity to here is the "hot spot" under Albuquerque. there the Rio Grande is following a rift valley that periodically pops open. but its still 500 miles to the north

I teach emergency preparedness, among other safety topics, for a living.


Cool! Not enough people take preparedness seriously! I'm an EMT...

Hmmmm The advice is good
Odds are it won't happen in your lifetime so why not enjoy life instead of planning for survival(in a paranoid way)

Much like my belief
"there probably isn't a god so why not just be kind and enjoy life"

Cheers

I'm not much of a gambler...and besides, it's much easier to get a little prepared... than have nothing at all when a disaster actually hits...

Such a cheerful thread ... ohwell

I googled the 'Earth Shiver' bit and only got Craigs List?

Short of stickin' your head between your legs and kissin' your arse g'bye?

Whatta is it ya recommend, EXACTLY???

... Plenty of clean water and nonperishable foods stored, batteries, candles, full tank of gas at all times ... and...?

Not much use if your building just collapsed and crushed you, or the land swallowed you whole, and every road out has buckled into sinkholes and bulldozers!

Let me guess ... Duct Tape???

I'll dance, hope and hug my child ...:banana: :banana:

Rather than giving people a hard time for not being prepared, why not give some advice for those who may not be prepared?

It's a new site...so just getting started! I'll add more things as I go along. More people do survive natural disaster than perish....so you should plan to survive...and that should include medical supplies as well...do you know CPR? ...do you know how to control bleeding?...Do you know how to take spinal precautions?....if you are on medications do have a decent supply? do you own a tent (you may be sleeping outside)...You seem to take "getting prepared" a bit lightly...have you tried to survive a week or more without modern conveniences? I was in the Northridge quake...no electricity/water for over a week....and yes, we slept outside because our house moved off of its foundation...long lines for food and markets overpricing for everything....luckily surrounding cites were not affected....a quake on the San Andreas fault could encompass ALL of Southern California....think of Katrina, but probably worse....a lot worse! I've talked to firefighters and many of them say they would go home to their families if the BIG one hit...don't take it lightly!
