LAist has this post about emergency preparedness which sort of proves that I am not completely neurotic or out of my gourd with chapters one and two of this series.
Let’s say, among all this extreme heat, the Big One hits? Electricity is knocked out, water isn’t working and the city is basically shut down.
What are two of the most important things you need right now?
It’s water and shelter (you can go without food for much longer than without water). On the water issue, are you ready? Brita filters don’t count. Neither do a few water bottles.
They have a point. As summer 2006 in California has officially been branded “Hot As All HellTM” by the California energy grid (replacing the previous brand “it’s hot in he’rrrreTM” as delineated by Nelly in 2001) an ill earthquake would be far more devastating if we lost power and water for a few days in this type of heat.Â
Remember the 2000 people who died in European Heat Wave of 2003? Add that shit to an earthquake and you got yourself one hot ass shaking mess.
