Earthquake Preparedness: How To Solve the Clutter Problem

by Leave a Comment

Clutter Is Dangerous!
Too often in my consultations, I see way too much clutter around peoples’ homes. If the safe places to take cover in a room are blocked by things that don’t have to be there, you could be injured in a big quake.

Quite commonly, for example, I see so much stuff under a desk that it would be impossible to get under it when shaking starts.   Be safe: take a look around.
QuakePrepare has now installed over 2,300 automatic gas shut-off valves.  If you or your neighbors haven’t yet taken advantage of this (incredibly cheap) insurance to protect your house, email or call me.  Still $245 in most locations.
Be safe.

Earthquake Advance Warning Finally Developed!

by Leave a Comment

Earthquake preparedness has come a long way:  no longer can we complain that we, who live in earthquake country, are without the advance warning that others have about impending hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.

Here it is, our newly discovered earthquake advance warning:

“There’s going to be a major earthquake. Get ready.”

Be safe.

Earthquake Preparedness: Is Your Office Prepared?

by Leave a Comment

Most of us are at least aware that we should have two weeks worth of food and water as per the Red Cross and others.

If you work in an office away from home, you should give some thought as to whether you might be stuck there for a while after a serious quake.   If you drive to work and you can walk home, the kit you should have in your car will take care of your needs. If you can’t walk home, you may be waiting it out at your office – a good reason to make sure that the office is prepared for that eventuality.

Office kits can be custom-tailored for any size. The best provider I’ve seen is Your Safety Place in Pleasanton, part of Nexis Preparedness.   They have staff calling on businesses and schools to help them get prepared. Check out their web site at nexisprep.com

QuakePrepare has now installed over 2,250 automatic gas shut-off valves.  If you or your neighbors haven’t yet taken advantage of this (incredibly cheap) insurance to protect your house, email or call me.  Still $245 in most locations.

Be safe.

Earthquake Preparedness: Great Radio/Flashlight/Phone Charger

by Leave a Comment

Check Out This Excellent Radio/Flashlight/Phone Charger
During one of my in-home consults this week (quakeprepare.com/consults), the homeowner showed me the Eton Microlink FR160 radio he had (he bought 3 or 4 of them).  I was very impressed and thought I should pass this along to you.

It was very easy to crank (uses solar as well), and just a few cranks gave good use of the radio, and it had a strong flashlight beam as well.  It even recharges your cell phone.  There are a lot of good products on the market, but the price and quality of this one is outstanding.  My research showed excellent customer reviews.

These are the two best prices I found:

From ebay:  says he has 10 left, $15.  Appear to be new, no packaging:

From Universal Radio, $25:   http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/prepare/0160.html

QuakeTip: 3 Solar Lights You Need When Power’s Out

by Leave a Comment

Quake Hits, Power Is Gone, Hello Solar
After a major quake, we have no power.  Here are three lights that will be helpful (not intended to be comprehensive!):
 
Nightlight with emergency light when power fails:
They are currently out of stock, but it’s worth waiting for (recommended by my friend and preparedness guru Matt Springer, who suggests putting a piece of masking tape over the nightlight if it’s too bright for you).   $10
Camp lantern:
4 hours full bright, 8 hours less bright.  Use solar charge or USB port:
Solar + battery flashlights:
Package of 2, $17, from Amazon:
We’ve now installed over 2,050 automatic gas shut-off valves in the last 10 years!   If you already have yours, get your neighborhood organized.  The more homes that have them, the safer everyone is.
Be safe.
