I'm very interested in the speakers explaining some of the practical things everyone should one in case a large earthquake occurs -- what should you have in your survival kit? Where should it be placed in your home? Where should you run in your home or elsewhere to be safest while waiting out the earthquake? I've always heard to get under something and hold on -- what if you're in your bedroom and you can't get under the bed or the dressars? What if the only thing in sight is a flimsy table? Is that cautious enough? What sort of thing do you need to be "under" to be safe? etc. . .

I would feel much calmer about all of this if I knew that I could do everything possible to protect myself and my family in the moment during a large earthquake.
