If I am going to be able to stay in my home, then mostly canned stuff that
can be eaten as is. Yes, some of it might taste better if heated.

If I have to evacuate, then I would want smaller, more lightweight stuff
like dried fruit. But really if I had to evacuate, then any food would do.

But the most important thing would be lots of water.

If it is just a tsunami, nothing is needed. It all gets washed away and so
do you. Maybe you can find a few cans in the rubble if you are far away
and do down to the damaged area.

Otherwise, lots of canned goods, dry goods that do not need cooking and
water. Lots of water.
 
As I live next to a plant with a lot of chemicals and what not, I keep
a 72 hour bag handy just in case something goes wrong and I have to
leave immediately. The bag contains three days worth of food, bottled
water, a change of clothes and first aid items, and a loaded pistol.
As far as the food I keep in there, I have granola bars and canned
tuna, but I need to pick up some MRE's.

Whiskey, lots of it. Perhaps morphine and/or vicodin.

Katadyn water filter, protein bars, cash, radio, a backpack with camping
supplies, tent, bicycle with side bags and revolver with lots of ammo in
handlebar bag. That is if you do not get swept away. If early tsunami
warning, get on the bike and pedal inland fast. Use a car if near a
volcano. Remember Yellow Stone Park is on a Super Volcano. But I am nowhere
near the ocean or an earthquake zone, forest fire maybe of concern.

Reading a bit. That the Ring of Fire fault zones in the pacific are some
how connected. Some believe that California within the year may get a 9.0
also. That Earth quake moved Japan... What eight feet where other
earthquakes move about an inch or two?

Back in Tennessee I had an earthquake/tornado kit. Now it's a hurricane
kit. It's all the same :) Gallons of drinking water (of course). Canned
foods (somehow Chef Boyardee doesn't seem so bad when there is nothing else
to eat!) Don't forget the can opener. Evaporated milk. Flashlights and
batteries.

There was a severe storm, I say it was a tornado, the talking heads called
it "straight line winds" (whatever the hell that means). The power outage
lasted for a week. I used up the contents of my puny apartment freezer
cooking on a Weber kettle grill. I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This is where cast iron really shines! Where there's a will, there's a way.

You're right, I've now seven cast skillets ranging from a 6" to a 14", don't
know why I didn't buy them sooner. They'd work great on a gas grill.

Twinkies, honey, salt and vodka.

Twinkies will keep indefinitely, are a good source of calories and can be
used for many non-food purposes, such as plugging holes and caulking.
Honey is antibiotic and can be a useful ingredient in roasting wildlife
captured for food; for example, honey baked crow or honey roasted squirrel.
Vodka has antiseptic properties, making it useful for cleaning wounds, as
well as clearing the mind of woes.
Salt is useful for making pretty much all food tastier and can be useful in
preserving food when hunting/gathering results in more than can immediately
be consumed.

Make sure you've got a permit for that revolver and that it's valid
everywhere along your planned escape route. Disaster doesn't mean no
cops, it means cops are antsy.

And if you're going to rely on a bicycle make sure you're in condition
to ride that bicycle a good distance with all your equipment on board.


The trouble with tsunami warnings is that if it's going to come any
distance inland then you're not going to get much warning.

nowhere

A tornado is maybe a few hundred feet across and while it's very
destructive it follows a path and the destruction occurs only in that
relatively narrow path.

"Straight line winds" would not be a tornado.

I'm only reporting what the talking heads said. But I suppose you've heard
of one tornado spawning a spate of them? I dunno. The power was out in
west TN and north Mississippi, in some places for nearly two weeks. All I
know is I heard the roaring sound and then I didn't have electricity for a
week. Even the office was closed. It's what happened. If you don't like
it, too bad.

Rice & toilet paper - at least that's what gets cleared off the shelves
first on this rock. I have no idea what that's about.

Three corners of the Pacific Plate have moved violently in the last 18

the fourth corner is??? West Coast of the US -- Washington, Oregon,
