Thank you for this post!
The Lord has touched my heart about this very subject just recently.
It has evolved into my personal quest to be "ready" for a disaster.
I just started learning as much as possible on this subject.
Things started out with immediate family members being taken care of and has grown into our Church as well.
We're just starting, but at least we are doing something.

You can go crazy trying to figure out what basics you really need. You covered that for me!

Then a 8.9 rocks Japan and reminds me of the importance.

Thanks again, Fred
