East Coast Earthquake Tshirts

The east coast earthquake was felt from Georgia to Canada, including New York City, Boston, and Washington DC. If you felt it, here are some cool tshirts to remember the event. It's a historic occasion, because it probably won't happen again in your lifetime!

Earthquake Preparedness Kits to Buy

ReadySetGo Kit $99


I've been researching emergency and earthquake preparedness kits online. There are a lot of them out there, and apparently, you need different ones for different locales. The most extensive one should be in your home, but you also need one for the office, and one for your car. Any kit you buy or put together should sustain you (and anyone else who might be with you) for at least three days. And remember, they aren't just for earthquakes, but also for tornadoes, hurricanes, severe storms and being stranded on the road.

Here are some that are available on Amazon.com (I apologize that the pictures aren't bigger, but just click on any one to learn more about what it contains). IMPORTANT! Read the contents of kit before you purchase. Some of them don't, for example, contain any food. You'll need to supplement any incomplete kits, so know what you're buying before you buy!

Haiti Earthquake Relief and Avoiding Scams

If you're seeing the same devastating pictures coming out of Haiti that I am, then you want to help in whatever ways you can. Unfortunately, there are always going to be unscrupulous individuals out there who want to scam you out of your money, in times of disaster. Please, everyone, do not donate to organizations or individuals who are unknown to you! These "pleas" may come in phone calls (to cell phones as well as land lines) or emails. Politely turn them down.

The most important thing you can do right now is donate CASH. Why cash? Because governments and private corporations often donate food, clothing, and medicine, but cash is always needed, to pay for getting the goods to where they need to go. Here are direct links to some 100% safe places you can donate, and remember, NO amount is too small.
