Hi ladies, sorry to crash your boards, but I have a few thoughts as a native Southern Californian myself. My stepmother is super into earthquake preparedness and in HS she used to make me keep a bin in my car with earthquake supplies. I had a first aid kit, a whistle, a flashlight and batteries, a radio, flares, some of those emergency blankets, water and food. I had to replace the food (granola bars, and stuff that doesn't parish too easily) and water every few months. I also kept some cash and sweats in there just in case.

As much as I used to complain about keeping the stuff in my car it came in really handy more than once.

Good luck and I hope you guys have a great time!
