I have a 2 or 3 D cell Maglight on each wall in every room of the house, they sell mounts on amazon for them. In the kitchen and laundry room there are also two large fire extinguishers next to the lights. Each is taped with reflective and glow tape.
It is set up like a Naval ship or an aircraft. I just have that training ingrained in me, but you bet when we need a flashlight, we got one. And if there is a fire, there is no excuse to not try to put it out. I also have a SureFire in a few nooks with a glocks next to them.
I have one 3day molle pack with all first aid equip, About 25-30 lbs of stuff. With flashlight and knife attached to the bag.
One more 3day pack with copies of documents, thumbdrives and DVDR duplicates of all important documents and passport scans etc... all encrypted. Basic clothes.
(In Socal we ran outside from an earthquake at 5am, almost naked. The neighbors were also scantily clad so we just laughed, but if the house did collapse, we'd be wearing that all day, all week etc)
Last 3day bug out bag is almost empty but ready to take food, water and other anti-zomie stuff. Thick gloves, goggles, knee pads and a E-tool shovel. God forbid I have to do any digging or rescuing anybody.
On top of that we have 3 mo supply of food. Mountainhouse freeze dried cans of food and 3 Cases of MREs. The freeze dried food lasts 35yrs. The MREs 5min, 10max. Can be used for Camping too.
At least 10 stacks of bottled water on hand at all times, rotated. And min 50 Gal of tap water stored in the garage in containers, rotated. Gets used up fast on a daily basis anyways.
5 5gal Gas Jerry cans, 1 always filled, rotated with gas stabilizer. Usually use it for the lawnmower anyways. Car always needs gas so extra is never an issue.
Most mormons or other neighbors I have, also prepare. We are in a Hurricane area so its never a bad idea. There are those though who have no more than 1 days supply of food or water in their house. Good luck when the semi-trucks dont roll for a few days. Many grow and can their own stuff, I am not that advanced or inclined. I just want insurance.
Some people think I am over the top. However, many of my friends are in Gov and work in FEMA type agencies, and they know a lot about disasters and even man made events that can cause havoc in medical or food supply systems within days. They DO know something I don't and I am just playing copy-cat.
