Then again, I live in Texas and the liklihood of having an earthquake is pretty slim. However, it could happen since there is a fault zone nearby (about 100 miles or so to the west of me). Nathan-さん did you know this? Check out Ranger hill on your next drive to Eastland, TX. Ranger Hill is fault scarp. Pretty cool stuff, speaking from a geological viewpoint. Anyway, thanks for the great lesson. I learned alot and will start putting my kit together today, or at least this week.

I'm not quite sure how to spin that; it's a bit like having a hurricane named after you. As for peanut butter, one can find it but not in every supermarket. There are many stories of foreigners who have purchased what they thought was peanut butter, until they bit into their miso sandwiches. I was born on Disaster Prevention Day.

My Japanese friend was married about 10 years ago. For favors, they gave each guest a Disaster Kit!! :shock:To make up for the "oddness" of this favor, they also gave the guests something more traditional. (don't ask me what!):smile: Here’s a little story about Disaster Kits:

We're starting with food and water supplies.:wink: Katie-san, ima doko desu ka? JockZon-san, we filmed the other day, and Chigusa and Yoshi saw the video! Can't wait to release the upcoming videos!:grin: Naz-san, what did you think of today's lesson? Norgus-san, disaster prevention is something that I really only looked into as a result of this lesson. It is quite interesting, and at the same time, quite scary. My wife and I actually talked about what to do in the case we are seperated or in seperate locations at the time of such a event. I did some independent poling of Japanese friends, and most had no idea what to do if there was a major disaster and they lost everything. They asked me the same question, and I also had no idea! Very, very sobering. Anne-san, welcome to the site. Yoshi-san, we’ll chat Monday. :wink:
