Everyone in the world, especially people in high active Seismic Zones should have an earthquake plan. A bad enough earthquake can lead to wilderness survival. Wilderness survival is not only for Zombie Apoc, Invasion of your country, and what not. It is for natural disasters. Earthquakes are very very dangerous. Some people think only the ring of fire can get earthquakes. That is not to Technically and region can get an earth quake because their are Seismic Zones all over the world. Some active like the ring of fire and some not so active like ones on the East Coast.
I have friends on the East Coast and Midwest, who say "Oh, your in CA watch out for those earthquakes..."
Truth is the east coast can get earthquakes too as was found out on Aug. 23, 2011.
"Tremors from the Virginia earthquake were felt as far south as Atlanta, Georgia; as far north as Quebec City, Quebec; as far west as Illinois and as far east as Fredericton, New Brunswick, with damage reported as far away as Brooklyn in New York City."
"The 2011 Virginia Earthquake occurred on August 23, 2011, at 1:51 pm EDT (17:51 UTC) in the Piedmont region of the US state of Virginia. The epicenter of the earthquake was in Louisa County, Virginia, where damage was greatest and several minor injuries occurred. The town of Mineral, located 5 mi (8 km) south-southwest from the earthquake's epicenter, reported the collapse of two buildings, as well as minor damage to several other structures, including the collapse of the ceiling in its Town Hall. "
On the west coast we are taught and prepped for earthquakes from birth. After talking with friends from the Mid West and East Coast I found out they are almost never taught about earth quakes apart fro ma shelter in place drill and taught about California is a state with earthquakes. If you still dont think the East Coast/Mid West do not get earth quakes look at "The Great Midwest Earthquake of 1811".
I would like to involve us West Coast members to help educate our Brothers and Sisters that are in areas where an Earth Quake is rare. If we can educate them now it will help ensure their survival on what not to do and what to do in the event of a Moderate/Major earthquake. The East Coast is at a higher right for Major dmg from earthquakes because their buildings are not retrofitted like ours on the West Coast. Their ESU's are not as highly trained for Earth Quakes as for example LAPD, LAFD, SFFD, SFPD.
If anyone is up to this please start posting information with me. This will need to be a community effort. This site is about survival and sharing information on survival, I think surviving an earthquake is one of those top survival issues out their. The East Coast is far more likely to get a major earthquake, than get a Zombie Apoc.
Stay Safe,
Stay Smart,
Stay Educated
