Best earthquake survival kits? -Conservation!

Best earthquake survival kits? I want to prepare my family in case there is a huge earthquake . I know the basics,battery radio,batteries,firstaid kit,matches,canned foods,can opener,extra clothes,blankets,I even thought of having extra bags of dog and cat food for my pets.Any more suggestions? My main concern is what are the best containers to store water in? You know ones that won%26#039;t collapse too easily if something should fall on it? I want to keep these containers outside in our shed since we do not have a garage. We live in the desert where the temp can get upto 120 degrees in the summer.Would this water be drinkable and safe to drink? whatever is left that won%26#039;t evaporate that is,and how often should I change it out?To whoever answers,thank you very much.

They have lots of good stuff including barrels for water. The water in the shed should be fine in one of their blue barrels. But you may want to refill it once in a while so it taste better if you need it.

You should consider a gun and lots of ammo. If not then maybe a bow and arrow and some arrows. Likely you will not need it in the desert for New Orlean type looters, but you may need a meal if it goes on for a while.

Always a knife, saw, rope and a striker for a fire.

You may want a large tarp in the desert to create a shady spot to sleep if the house is wrecked. Just my 200ths of a dollar.
