Thumbs Up: Tell Us What You Do To Prepare For An Emergency

We all have our different and similar ways to prepare for an emergency and the Los Angeles Earthquake Blog wants to know what you do or have done to ready yourself and your family for a natural disaster where you live (doesn't have to be in Los Angeles). The "Thumbs Up" section will be a new section of the blog where we post your stories and anecdotes about emergency preparedness. Do you store anywater? Do you keep a flashlight and plenty of batteries around? TELL US!

Submission Guidelines:

1. Keep your email to a maximum of 1,500 words. Send us photos if you want too!

2. Keep your email focused about what you are ALREADY doing and maybe something else that you're thinking about -- like buying a generator, etc.

3. Write in the subject line: "Thumbs Us Submission," and send your preparedness stories to LAEarthquakeBlog@gmail.com.

Please let me know if you would like your name to be published or not.

I look forward to hearing from you, as well as the other readers.
