As you've probably heard by now, FEMA predicted 9/11 and Katrina back in August, 2001. Their third prediction at that time was a catastrophic California earthquake in the next few years. I'm not claiming any conspiracies or voodoo science, they just analyzed data to come up with the most likely risks.

I've been meaning to do this for years but I think it's time to put together a disaster kit. After seeing what lack of water and food did to disaster victims in the Gulf Coast I finally realize just how important it is to be prepared. The only item I have purchased for a kit in the last couple years is a bottle of Potassium Iodate pills (otherwise known as Anti-Radiation pills).

Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy. My logic was that if a city is hit by a terrorist nuclear strike SF would maybe be in the top 10 of the list of targets because of the population density and proximity to the ocean (it would be relatively simple to sneak a bomb onto a transport ship). So, if SF was hit I calculated that the fallout would go straight to where I live based on wind patterns.

Anyways, I think the best way to put together a disaster kit is to look at some available online and just buy the items yourself to save money. I think that water is the most important item so I'll start there.
