This evening’s earthquake is a good reminder to be prepared for any disaster.
We do have a great article with suggestions for your modular “go kits” and can be found on the SOARA website here. (Republished with permission.)
Also, please remember that after a quake to refrain use of repeaters/simplex for any emergency and damage traffic first. Use should be short and allow plenty of room between communications for breaks. Use of cell phone should be limited immediately following a quake, use SMS text messaging to check on loved ones instead of calling.
73 and good luck. — Sean, AJ6B
