Earthquake Kit

So, after all the earthquake excitement over the weekend, Hiroshi and I figured we'd better get our earthquake kit put together. You know, the one everyone is supposed to have, but most people don't. We hit the grocery store and picked up some bottled water, some emergency biscuits (like fat, square digestive cookies) and some canned food. We've got tuna, asparagus, peaches and tangerine pieces. I'll pick up some more cans of stuff as it goes on sale. Supposedly, you need food for three days. That's a lot of food and bottled water.

We already had the flashlight and bought an extra can opener to keep with the cans. I'll pick up some workers gloves this week to add to the pile (to pick your way through debris) and pen and pad of paper. The problem of course is that this is a lot of stuff, and there isn't one place to put it all. So it is a bit scattered. Ah, at least that way if the roof caves in, we'll have at least part of it available. Not sure what else we need to add - if you have any good ideas, ramble back.

I wonder how many other people had the same idea as us - at the grocery store, there were hardly any emergency biscuits left and the water shelf was a bit under-stocked.
