I recently bought an emergency radio from the Red Cross when they were on campus for a safety event. It has a flashlight, a radio, of course, and a plug for cell phone charging. It works with a little crank.

But I've never really thought about being in an emergency situation. I think I should have, at least, some water and canned goods somewhere. My bare cabinets wouldn't get me far in an emergency.

Don't forget any pets you may have either. I have a stash of canned foods for my cats just in case.

PS Although I can't really imagine any natural disaster happening in the 4 Corners. We don't rest on any fault zones; a hurricane would never make it this far inland; We are on top of a mesa surrounded by desert, so floods are out. It would have to be a freak snowstorm that went on for days or the Navajos finally getting fed up and going for seccesion.

You know pretty lovely Yellowstone? That awesome tourist attraction with the really neat mud pools and geysers?

Its a super volcano. HUGE well of lava storing up underneath. If that thing blows (or any of the other super volcanos around the world blow), we're all pretty well fucked. If Yellowstone blows, the North American continent is especially fucked. I believe Yellowstone is very past-due on its regular eruption.
