-Water and food to last at least three days (your car trunk is a handy place for these bulky items).
-Water purification tablets
-Heavy-duty gloves
-A first-aid kit
-A minimum of $100 in cash (automated teller machines and banks may be shut down following a quake)
-Family photos and descriptions (to aid emergency personnel in finding missing people)
-A flashlight and portable (or solar-powered) radio
-Extra batteries
-Goggles and dust mask
-A personal commode with sanitary bags
-Blankets
Also if you have an infant or young child:
-Formula or baby food or both
-Bottles
-Diapers
The most important thing for human survival is water. You should have at least five gallons of water stored in your hallway or back yard because after an earthquake hits, if you don't have a shut-off valve, tap water will be contaminated within 12 hours.
