Earthquake alerts us to prepare for future disasters

Following the unexpected earthquake that Marlyand felt, is anyone prepared for another natural disaster? Think about it: How many of us really know what to do if another earthquake strikes? Has anyone really put together emergency-preparedness kits with enough water, medications and other necessities in case of emergencies?

I admit that I am not ready when a disaster strikes, and I know I am not the only one. It takes one natural disaster to wake everyone up to get them prepared in the event of another disaster, whether it is a terrorist attack, earthquake or a hurricane.
