A couple of longtime friends who still live in SoCal have gradually been getting The Word on preparedness. Their house isn't very big, so they built a new "tool shed" in the back yard, painted to match the house. But there's no lawnmower, weedwhacker or garden tools in it. It is on a concrete slab, has no windows, is heavily insulated and has some kind of solar vent thing. It has sturdy shelves with supplies in those medium-sized plastic totes.

If they have an earthquake, their stuff will be accessible. If they have to run, the stuff is in plastic totes, color-coded for importance.

I thought this was a clever idea for storage. I haven't seen it but would like to.
