FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Bolt the furniture — really?
Yes — most quake injuries are from falling furniture and objects, not collapsing buildings. Strap the water heater and bolt tall furniture to studs before the quake, not after.
Gas-shutoff wrench?
Yes — a broken gas line after a quake starts fires. A wrench (ideally a fixed one tethered by the meter) lets you shut it off in 10 seconds. Know where your meter is.
Whistle?
Yes — if you are trapped, shouting ruins your voice in minutes; a whistle carries for hours and far less effort. The cheapest item in the kit and one of the most useful.
Where to keep it?
Split it — bulk supplies in a known spot, and a smaller grab-and-go bag by the bed or door. Quakes happen at night; the kit by the bed has shoes, light, and whistle.

Earthquake prep kit and my car-emergency kit share the cheap-insurance gospel — the gas-shutoff wrench and a whistle by the bed are the same lifesavers as my jump starter. Math, not paranoia.
