But you can get prepared. Millions of people<br />

worldwide will practice how to Drop, Cover,<br />

and Hold On, on October 17* during Great<br />

ShakeOut Earthquake Drills.<br />

All of us in Inland Southern California live<br />

less than 10 miles from a fault that can have a<br />

damaging earthquake. You are likely reading<br />

this while standing on the infamous San<br />

Andreas. It has the potential to produce a<br />

devastating earthquake. Nearby faults such as<br />

the San Jacinto fault create smaller, yet more<br />

frequent earthquakes.<br />

We have learned a lot about protecting our<br />

homes and future in an earthquake. We<br />

believe the danger is real, it's big and it's<br />

coming.<br />

Big earthquakes will disrupt services like<br />

electricity, water and sewer. We all saw<br />

limited access in and out from some minor<br />

flooding a few weeks ago. Also Fire and<br />

police departments will be dealing with the<br />

most serious situations and may be unable to<br />

respond quickly.<br />

There may be long lines and walks to shelter<br />

facilities. Government assistance may not<br />

be available or not enough to replace your<br />

damaged belongings or repair your home.<br />

With a dumbass president and a stalled<br />

congress, a major disaster will likely show<br />

how inept our government has become.<br />

In other words, a perfect storm is brewing.<br />

One that we may live with for years.<br />

But YOU may be safer if you read this<br />

warning: Preparing now, it will give you the<br />

best chances that you and your family will<br />

stay safe.<br />

Most news agencies won't talk about this<br />

because they want you to remain dependent<br />

on them and the products they sell. During<br />

this recent spat of quakes, I and all my friends<br />

watched the news channels and did not see<br />

one mention of reliable resources for you to<br />

prepare with.<br />

Including Drill Manuals and Safety Action<br />

Guides in the workplace and in the home,<br />

health care and when you are separated.<br />

Anyone that witnessed Katrina or Puerto Rico<br />

knows we are not prepared as a nation,<br />

We saw thousands stranded on rooftops,<br />

along roadways, in their homes, hospitals and<br />

in ill-equipped shelters. Many of those victims<br />

were poor and people of color.<br />

We believe it won’t affect us because we are<br />

mobile and can transport ourselves to safety<br />

any place and any time. Today, our victims<br />

will be many poor and people of color, they<br />

are also Vets, elderly, retired living of a fixed<br />

income with no way to rebuild the life they<br />

have now. Our fisrt respongers have been<br />

negelected.<br />

A disaster often tests our preparness, but a<br />

big one will test our metle as a natiion. Will<br />

coime together and rebuild or fall deeper into<br />

a fudal nation or relive The Hatfield–McCoy<br />

feud, some many not even know the term.<br />
