one of the things i hope the book will do is start asking these questions what canqu we do to preparewhen we know we are going to have a major quake and we don't if it's going to be e. or salt lake were new york city but we should all be acting as if it is a possible thing. so when it comes to a household there are things we should be doing to be prepared for any natural disaster. most people didn't have water or a weeks worth of food even though we should note that is a likely scenario wherever we live and so having things like eight to go bad for a plan or understanding what we are not going to have inot that scenario that's going to be one of the first things that go. i don't know my loved ones cell phones by heart because a punch itheypunch in their name and its up. god forbid i couldn't call most of the people that are important to me because they wouldn't know how to find a landline to call them so now we know how to communicate in the event i don't have cell phone technology and knowing where we can meet or what we can do and this is where it comes into this idea of resilience.
