What materials do you have on your person RIGHT NOW, or within reach, that could help you survive should a relevant emergency occur? I.E. fire, earthquake, tornado, flood, hostile aggression,civil unrest, medical emergency, etc. How could your personal skills, professional or otherwise, contribute to a solution? <br><br>

Good question... let's see; lighter, pocket first aid kit, sewing kit, swiss army knife, leatherman scissors, photon light, nail clippers, car keys, not as much money as I would like, that's about it.<br><br>T. fisher<br><br>

hi Chris,<br>Please don't dive UNDER your desk in an earthquake. People who are under things in earthquakes get crushed to death. People who are BESIDE things survive in the void created there by falling roofs.<br>Check American Rescue Team International website for more info.<br>JB<br><br>Expect poison with the standing water.<br> -William Blake

This desk came around the horn and survived with my great grandmother the San Francisco earthquake.It was in my grandmother's home in Northridge when that quake knocked the house off the foundation,collapsed the roof and a brick chimney.My grandmother was under it when we arrived. We removed by later count 118 bricks from the top.It won't fit in my pocket tin,but is a key component of the earthquake kit.<br><br>

I have a flame-thrower, a steel drum that can be locked from the inside, a 5-gallon bucket filled with peanut M&Ms and 4 overdue library books. I'm ready for anything.<br><br>WHAAAATAAAAAREYOUUUUDOOOOOOOIIIIING?<br><br>

Hi Chris,<br>That's a cool story. I wish we all had desks that would inspire confidence.<br>JB<br><br>Expect poison with the standing water.<br> -William Blake

I've got a knife and a blanket, It's all I need. Everything else can be obtained from the land.<br><br>
