Coming Up: Your Quake Kit

It’s not until the earth starts to move--such has been the case recently--that you’re sent scurrying to the pantry wondering, “How much extra water do we have?” At which point you discover not only are you down to your last gallon, but the granola bars you bought as emergency quake food expired in 1995.

Get out your scissors, because in Monday’s Life & Style we will once again nag you into getting your earthquake supplies in order. These are the items that should be on hand now--not when the quake hits, but now!

Besides staff writer Connie Koenenn’s list of stuff you ought to have on hand in your home, office and car, writers Sandy Banks and Chris Erskine will weigh in with earthshaking tales from the home front.
