How to Put Together an Earthquake Survival Bag for City Living

earthquake

Many of us have the great fortune of living rurally, owning our property, and are able to build a garden or outdoor grill on our own land. While we fret that many of our rights as home owners are being impeached upon recently we are well-heeled enough to be able to do many things or urban neighbors cannot.

Of course, not all city dwellers live in sky-high condos but, for the most part, they are a world apart from those who work their land, garden, do home repairs, and work a regular at a job from day to day.

Honestly, that is not a dig. It is just a way of life. No one says a person living in a city apartment or condo can’t can foods, have a prepper pantry, or even grow that windowsill herb garden! And there is no denying a bug out bag for surviving any emergency or disaster is completely reasonable! However, some of the things a city person might need can differ from those in the country.

After the break, head on over to the next page and read up on some items an urban survivor will need if ever forced, let’s say do to an earthquake, to bug-out from their homes!

    Earthquake country of the West coast, draws it’s water from far away. Early Los Angeles was built on the meager Santa Ana river, but could never supply enough water for today’s population.
    If a big earthquake damages the second largest city in the U.S., the fiat currency that is based above ground infastructur, will collapse (but the gas station attindent doesn’t know that yet).
    Water: jerk a piece of drop line out of the local landscaping, and unscrew a sprinkler head, then draw remaining water from the pipes. Then plot a coarse to greener pastures.
    The lions share of Los Angeles water comes from the damaged Oroville dam. The rains will return Wednesday, and if there is dam failure, they will find a new meaning to the word “conservation of water”.
