We have about 6 months of food, water, cash at hand for whatever happens. I think all should if possible, bad times can happen.

New York is in a lot of trouble if the fault under Manhattan becomes active. The buildings there aren't built to handle earthquakes. I have lived in CA and we had a earthquake kit with a water purifier, Mrats, meals ready to eat. Flash lights, windup radio etc. I have lived in S.FL and always had a cabinet devoted to hurricane supplies. So where ever I am I make to be prepared, like the motto says. It's important to be ready for the unexpected or natural disasters that may occur.
That way you don't have to stand in long lines just for basic necessities.

if the ring of fire continues as it is, i for one would not be anywhere near the San Andreas fault just now! luckily where i live is relatively safe and a long way from a fault line, but this planet can always surprise us!

My government will save me, why bother.

yes , but never enough..

It's something I think most Queenslanders are brought up with.Floods,cyclones etc can occur very quickly here & can be severe,although the warning systems are improving.We are in a state of constant readiness especially during summer.

I really believe that my life is in God hand and everyone else.... I for one don't really know how to prepare for something or an earthquake or a newclear bomb.. I don't believe there is much you can do to a stop a dissaster of a mass proportion.

I live in a flood prone area (nothing dramatic) just means we can't get out of our little town, I always make sure we have long life milk, coffee, tinned food , and  booze (the pub ran dry once) I love it when it floods the place becomes very social as no one can leave, people come in off they're properties and we gather at the pub and catch up, best of all I still get paid and we always have a good time and help each other, sometimes means moving stock to higher ground etc. other than that I think it's out of my hands

Does obama count as natural or unnatural disaster ?

I'll start preparations tomorrow. How to you keep water? Thank you, Randy. It's scary. 

No, but this question scared me into getting prepared.
