Interesting concept I have not heard of before: Community Survival Caches
Cannon Beach, Oregon (population about 1,600) detailed a proposed plan for a community cache of post-quake survival kits. The kits -- contained in 55-gallon or smaller packages -- would be stored at a community location presumed safe from a tsunami. Essentially, safety deposit boxes for survival items.
There would be an annual storage fee of about $1 per gallon.
I haven't read the proposal in its entirety but am intrigued by the planning of people who are in the bullseye when The Big One or The Bigger One hit that region.
