u/57Nil

I wasn't living here at the time and never seen what happens to daily life in a city beyond the surface disaster stuff shown on the news. They rarely went into daily life detail.

I put together a waterproof bag years ago of first aid, glow sticks, candles, lighters, canned food, extra bag of dog food and bowls, and slabs of bottled water that I rotate. A little butane gas cooker. $100 cash. A power bank is one thing I keep kicking down the road.

Care to share tips and unexpected second-order realities that became hard in the aftermath that an Earthquake noob might not consider?

E.G. A woman at the gas station once told me she never lets her car go under half a tank as fuel was difficult for a while. Which only made perfect sense after hearing it, since station storage is in the ground and pumps need electricity.

I don't care if it wasn't a wide-spread thing and just a personal experience.
