Here are some basic things to look for in an earthquake preparednes kit.
*The Bag Needs to Be High Quality... your pack needs to be able to withstand being tossed around your trunk and also to be carried through rugged terrain and jostled once you start using it.
*First Aid Kit ...make sure your first aid kit has plenty of supplies such as bandages, pain killers, ace wrap, sling, etc.
*Freeze Dried Food or Vacuum Sealed Food ...a 3600 calorie bar is a great food item to add to your bug out bag or survival kit. Anything smaller is going to be inadequate.... if you use freeze dried meals, You will want the kind that is shake and serve.
*Flashlight and Radio. The shakeable flashlights are great and also solar radios are a great item to stuff in.
*Shelter, Heat and Warmth ...as always, look for quality, but a space blanket or two is a great addition and a tube tent. Also some candles and WATER-PROOF matches.
