Essential listening! Puts you at the scene
The people who are complaining that this podcast is too “overly dramatic” are missing the point. What the hosts are doing is helping you to visualize what would actually happen, how things might actually go down, in the event of The Big One. The narration takes you through several likely scenarios step by step. I found this incredibly helpful in terms of getting myself mentally prepared and hopefully lessening the shock factor when the quake does happen. They also give you plenty of good information and helpful tips. Such as, did you know that running during a severe earthquake is likely to get you thrown to the ground and your legs broken? That’s why the first thing you’re supposed to do is “drop” to ground, before the earth has a chance to do it for you. Also, in addition to stocking up on water, keep your gas level above the halfway point. You don’t want to be stuck with an empty tank if you need an escape vehicle. So much of this info you just don’t get in a FEMA handout. I’ve been looking at a lot of earthquake preparedness stuff and honestly this podcast is the most helpful resource I’ve found so far.

HOW to prep, what is needed, not just pushing a single sponsor. And where a link to that data tool mentioned in...Read full review »

This podcast puts you at the center of what would happen if the Big One hit. It’s scary just thinking about it, but you gotta listen if you live in California or any other earthquake zone. It may save your life!
