Seeing what has transpired in the wake of the hurrican Katrina has gotten me motivated to be better prepared for a disaster. Imagine the chaos if an 8.0 earthquake hit Southern California with all its millions of people. (Try to refrain from joking about how the rest of the country would be better off, okay?)
We have always had lots of canned and dried food around, and lots of ammo, of course. (I shoot competitively and there is always 3 to 5 thousand .45 rounds and at least 1000 9 mms, plus a bunch of rifle ammo - besides, all it takes is one .22 LR and I can end up with a gang-banger's AK. hump )
What we have not stockpiled, really, is water. We may have a case or two of bottled water, but it may take 30 days or more to get supplies moving in if the airport and roads are not operational. So I will buy a few more cases of water and rotate them as we use them.
Are you doing anything? What disasters might occur where you live and how bad would it be?
