Those who live in fault zones, or near them should already be prepared for an earthquake. But with the rise in the instability of faults all over the country, it’s always a good idea to make sure those who have just moved to a “shaky” area are prepared as well.
If an earthquake hits while you’re indoors, you will want to remain indoors, and this earthquake emergency kit and guide could help you prepare for that possibility. Obviously, you may be outdoors or driving when an earthquake strikes, but that’s a different prep for a different day. Today, we are focusing on what to do and how to set up your home earthquake kit.
WHAT TO DO
Don’t go outside, stay indoors and seek cover to limit injuries from falling objects. Go under a table but stay away from glass, windows, and outside walls. If there’s no table or other pieces of furniture you can get underneath, crouch in an inside corner of the building and cover your face and head with your arms and hands. Stay put until the shaking ends.
WHAT TO PUT IN YOUR HOME EARTHQUAKE KIT
If you prepare in advance and have an earthquake kit on hand, should an earthquake strike while you’re at home, you’ll at least be somewhat ready to take action. Some of the things many suggest you should have readily available if you live in an earthquake zone are:
Again, as I’ve repeatedly stated, this is far from an exhaustive list of things you should have, but these 6 items are definitely essentials. Stay safe and stay well prepared for anything!

Watch this video on YouTube:
Search: “FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita trial, Exhibit No.6”
Robert Lavoy Finicum was setup and Murdered by FBI. A ruse was used to trick him into going to what he thought was a meeting with the county Sheriff. The FEDS set up an ambush murder.
This video is why YouTube wants censorship.
The truth can no longer be suppressed as easily now.
The young woman being attacked by FBI actually recorded the violent FBI murder and attack on unarmed women and children.

1. First thing I did in earthquake after action. Turn off Natural Gas to home/business. Hot water heaters and ruptured gas lines are Extreme danger.
2. Turn off electricity until you Inspect your dwelling for damage. No natural gas leaks verified.
3. Fill up all Water containers. Just in case needed. Water lines, sewer, gas lines, buried electrical lines, All get damaged in earthquake.
4. Setup camp in backyard outside of a structure. Tents are ok. Stay out of dwelling for a few days. Things falling on you kill you in earthquake.
5. Now go check on elderly neighbors. Help them out. Then help other neighbors. Help your community.
If you are on this website then you are already ready and know the rest of what to do.
— Good luck Californians. Big one is overdue. I would leave now.
Unless you have built something Medieval — let’s say primeval — your doorjam or coffee table was not made to hold up the entire house. It’s just thin molding on some 2×4’s. I’ll bet you can find end joints, in the 2×4’s. They haven’t even given you a proper board, to stand under, for the end of the world.
Look at the roadway, in the illustration. Duck and cover?
“And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.”
— Num 26:10
Either, we can say that the person rests in peace, or it couldn’t have happened to a better jerk. All you can do is be contrite. Prepare your soul.
What if you are at work in a multi-level building, and there is a glass wall near your area? At what point do you decide to try to leave? How long do you shelter in place?
It’s fun to think about survival in adverse situations. Try it with the minimal approach, you’ll exhaust all those ‘resources’ in a single days time. An average American household here in Colorado uses 60 gallons a day, if not much more than that.
You’ll need a well, a solar system, cb radios, other various technology, a multi fuel generator, and enough food and supply to help your neighbors out. This ‘just enough for me and my family’, well, what are you going to do when the neighbors come a knocking and you’re the only one with sustained power? We’re all in this together.
Research aquaponics. Watch diy install a well in your own backyard videos. Get vegetable towers in place and experiment with them before anything actually happens.
I had all these seeds and survival gear at one point. Then I tried to garden and it became painfully apparent I used a lot of water, had minimal yeild, was infested by bugs, and it turns out I don’t know a darn thing about gardening or field dressing.
Being a survivalist is not about prepping, it’s about real world practical skill sets you use routinely. Keep your tools up, keep your resources plush, and try to get out of the city. 20 lb bags of rice are only 10-20 dollars at bulk buy stores. We keep at least 10 on hand in a rotating stock, what is your supply level? A non teflon stainless steel rice warmer is only 40 bucks on amazon, and could be run from mini solar or an eco stove if necessary. Organic staples made easy, no refrigeration required w/ maximum water use efficiency. You’ll need a lot of rice. DIY’ng a rocket stove is not quite the same thing as a custom high quality eco stove w/ ceramic components. First thing we ever bought when prepping was an eco stove.
