1/11/10 - Hey, those recent "little temblors "in the east bay probably caught your attention. We know they caught ours.

And the 6.6 shaker in Eureka County definitely made us pause! Take a look at the links below - they'll take you to some good information through the California Office of Emergency Services. Then get in here and pick up a few things that you will definitely need - flashlights, batteries, gas shut off wrench, tarps and more.

We also carry pre-packed kits for individuals, couples and families, along with a kit that will be a great addition to your car trunk. Let's be real - none of us likes to think about this. We have better things we'd like to do with our time. But please - DO think about it. And then ACT. Don't be caught unprepared!

Dealing with outages

Tips for handling power outages:

Light: Have flashlights and battery-powered radios on hand.

Phones: Keep fully charged cell phones and corded regular phones ready. Cordless phones won't work in an outage.

Refrigeration: Fill and stow several liter-sized soda bottles in the freezer. In an outage, they can be put in the refrigerator to keep food from spoiling.

Power lines: If you see a downed power line, call PG&E's emergency help line at (800) 743-5002.
