Of the many things preppers prepare for, from economic failure to EMPs to terrorist attacks, natural disasters are above all the most likely reason you'll ever have to make use of your prepping skills and supplies.

Among natural disasters, few things frighten people as much as a powerful earthquake. You can see a storm coming or a fire rising in the distance, but you can't see an earthquake coming. Earthquakes can reduce an entire city to rubble and ignite fires as if to add insult to injury.
