We all hope that we will never have to face a natural disaster, but some of won't be so lucky. It may be because of geographical location, or it might just be luck of the draw. The only question at that point will be, are you prepared?

Every year, an average of 13,000 earthquakes, with a magnitude of 4-4.9, are recorded worldwide. Now an earthquake of this magnitude usually won't knock down a building built to withstand ground tremors, but if your house isn't built to earthquake standards, you and your family could be in trouble. If you live in a geographical location near a fault line, you may fall victim to an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 or higher, strong enough to unsettle buildings and crack concrete. So, when the ground begins to tremor under your feet, will you be ready?

Survival-supply.com offers emergency earthquake kits to aid you and your family in an earthquake no matter the magnitude. Kits include but are not limited to first aid supplies, home barrier sheeting, a three day supply of food and water, a flashlight, a water resistant radio, batteries and family communication plans, and an emergency manual. Survival-supply.com also offers additional supplies, sold separately, that could be incredibly helpful if you and your family need to look elsewhere for shelter. Survival-supply.com offers a folding cot, tents and meals ready to eat (MREs).

If you are planning on preparing your own emergency earthquake kit, make sure you pack the essentials. Think about what you will absolutely need to survive: food and water, shelter and warmth. FEMA advises that every person prepare a two-week supply of gear and provision in the event of a disaster or emergency. Figure out how many individuals will rely on your emergency kit and pack provisions accordingly.
