There’s a line in the popular TV medical-drama House that goes like this:
“You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don’t be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.”
Facebook and Twitter are awash with offers for prayers. Yes, prayers are comforting but I also find comfort if we were take nothing for granted and we are all prepared for a similar disaster.
A friend of mine posted this link about earthquake preparedness. It is definitely worth a read. We all blame the perceived ineptness of our government in ensuring building codes, but how prepared are we? Do we have first aid kits readily available? Do we have adequate food supplies? Do we have working batteries inside our flashlights? Do we ourselves, whether as employees of a company or family members, conduct our own earthquake drills?
