It can't hurt. Let's not forget the story about the ant and the grasshopper.

Pish-posh. Throwing away money on a questionable "kit" doesn't do much for disaster survival.

But it's marvellous for sellers of survival kits!

My sister lives on a boat in Seattle. If there's a tsunami, she'll probably be living on a boat in Utah shortly after.

Jujube. Oh, oh, oh, you are so deliciously twisted in your humour! Perhaps Vancouver Island will join your sister in Utah. Lol. Tell her to look for a small redhead on a large surfboard!

Very true. Unfortunately none of those kits contain training for mentally coping with such disasters, which is the most important factor ... people think they can purchase a few Band-Aids and a cheap flashlight and believe that's all they need to survive.
