The only difference between adventure and disaster is preparedness.

Another sizeable earthquake

The ground is shaking, people.... Haiti, Chile, Southern California, Baja California, Alaska, Indonesia, Turkey, China...all within the past 4 months. You can click on each location for more information on their respective earthquakes. For more info on the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that occurred earlier today near Tibet, click here. The death toll is estimated at 400 and appears to be rising. Please, please take this as a reminder to check up on your disaster supply kit, review your emergency plans and make sure you know your children's school and daycare emergency plans. I'm not wearing a sandwich board on the street corner with a mega phone and shouting the end is near, (mostly because I don't have a mega phone) but I am trying to gently prod you into action. You can't prevent an earthquake, but you can prepare for it.
