Sue, you need a helicopter, or 8 reindeer, for your commute.

What would you re-evaluate in light of something like Haiti's tragic fact pattern?

Nothing. I have resources at my home, some laid in specifically for earthquakes. Earthquakes occur unexpectedly, with no prior warning. There may not be an option to flee, for that matter. Why leave the known and head for the unknown?

With a more resilient infrastructure, there would be relief eventually, most likely within thirty days. I can hang out for that long with no major problems, although I will review my preparations.

One of my long term goals is consolidating and scaling down on assets to make it easier should I need to relocate or move down to a smaller place to live. Since there is no guarantee anymore that any job is secure one of our potential threats is loss of job/income or reduction of income. I tried to plan for this by having a smaller house to give some room in the budget and making sure the assets I have are small and portable. No big knickknack collections, no collecting of books, magazines, papers, etc. No big computers/network anymore, scaled down to a pair of 9" netbooks then added hdd and ram so they meet our needs.
