tweety

My aunt told me that she heard news said that vancouver will have earthquake soon. So that's why she bought a lot of bottle water and food past few days. Is it truth?

I am prepared for it.

there is no point to buy lots of bottle waters.

if they are heavy and not portable when they are in pack

use water purification tablets.

Basic emergency kit

You may have some of these basic emergency kit items already, such as a flashlight, battery-operated radio, food, water and blankets. The key is to make sure they are organized, easy to find and easy to carry (in a suitcase with wheels or in a backpack) in case you need to evacuate your home. Whatever you do, don't wait for a disaster to happen.

Easy to carry – think of ways that you can pack your emergency kit so that you and those on your emergency plan can easily take the items with you, if necessary.

   
    * water: one gallon per person per day (a week's supply of water is preferable)
    * water purification kit

    * cash and change
    * baby supplies: formula, bottle, pacifier, clothing, blankets, diaper wipes, disposable diapers, canned food and juices
    * spare medical prescriptions
    * list of important family information: physician numbers, style and serial number of medical devices such as pacemakers.

How many time we have heard about this in the last ten years?
They are keeping on telling us that we are due for a big one.
