"A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Anchorage, Alaska on Friday morning at 8.29am
The center of the earthquake took place about seven miles from Anchorage, the largest city in the state"

A wood stove, properly supplied and maintained can provide a sense of security and normalcy during troubled times,especially in cold climes.
"Store what you eat,.. and eat what you store" (keep food in rotation, based on expiration dates).
If your family won't eat 'brussel sprouts', don't store them !!
If there is a chance you may have to 'bug out', have a ready supply of dehydrated foods,
since they are nutritionally similar to canned goods, but take up less space, and are lighter in transport,
but require a clean water source.
Without potable water (water filtration), their benefit is moot; clean snow can be melted, or, used for temporary refridgeration
Always include a first aid kit, and a supply of needed medications, spare glasses, etc., ..since accidents happen !
