Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute, I’m Susie Craig. 
Washington State experiences 1,000 earthquakes each year. After a major quake, safe drinking water becomes a critical resource for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. Disaster Ready Washington recommends storing two weeks of water for your family and pets - one gallon per person and pet, per day. For a family of four with one pet, that’s seventy gallons for an emergency water supply. 
After an earthquake - turn off your home’s main water valve. This prevents water in your hot water heater and toilet tanks from draining due to gravity – potentially adding these additional water supplies. Be sure to locate and label the valve inside your home—and know how to operate it. Next week, learn more about storing water.
From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute.

FSM 336: Earthquake Preparedness: Water Supply

Transcript

[music]

Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute.
The Cascadia Subduction Zone runs off our coast from British Columbia to northern California. We’re overdue for a major earthquake that could disrupt water supplies for weeks, even months.
Storing at least one gallon of water per day, per person and pet, for a minimum of 14 days is essential. Because that much water is heavy (116 pounds), it’s good to choose smaller containers for storage.  For instance, soda bottles with screw-on lids or food-grade, heavy-duty plastic containers with recycling symbols PETE and HDPE suitable for camping. Avoid milk jugs, they’re made from biodegradable plastic and may leak. 
For more tips on building a safe, drinkable water supply, check out Oregon State University Extension’s online guide: Survival Basics: Water.

FSM 337: Earthquake Preparedness: Choosing Containers for Water Storage

Transcript

[music]

From Washington State University Extension, welcome to Food Safety in a Minute.
Preparing for an earthquake starts with learning, planning, and creating a plan for your family. This week, we’re highlighting two key resources. The first is “Two Weeks Ready” from the Washington Emergency Management Division. Available online, it covers public safety locations, alternate driving routes from work, steps to take during and after an earthquake, and essential supplies like extra batteries, food, and water. It also encourages learning about emergency plans at work and school.
Oregon State University Extension Service also offers an online guide for Family Emergency Preparedness. It includes guidance on earthquake readiness, building emergency kits, sanitation, waste management, and food and water storage.
Check the episode transcript for both resource links. Preparation for earthquakes is important. 
Thanks for listening, I’m Susie Craig.

Transcript

[music]

Thanks for listening to Food Safety in a Minute. 
Don't forget to include your “fur babies” and other beloved pets in your earthquake preparedness plans. Ready.gov, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, offers a helpful guide called Prepare Your Pets for Disasters, available online in twelve languages.
Here are some essentials they recommend for your pet’s emergency kit:
•	A two-week supply of food in an air-tight, waterproof container.
•	At least one gallon of water per day for two weeks.
•	Sanitation items such as pet litter, paper towels, and plastic trash bags. 
•	A photo of you and your pet in case you get separated.
•	And a favorite toy, treats, and bedding. 

Also, microchip your pets and keep your contact information up to date—just in case!

FSM 339: Earthquake Preparedness: Take Care of Your Pets

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, wrote “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The range of emotions that we humans experience today was also experienced by our ancestors. The book of Psalms has counsel, comfort, relevance, and hope for us. It even contains symbols and images of last day events! Join us as we discuss four Psalms that declare God as our refuge, our omnipotent King, our justice, and our source of blessings.

🌪️ We’re Not Ready for What’s Coming | Karel Cast Ep. 25-105

A volcano in Russia could trigger a tsunami. A rare derecho tears through the plains. After watching The Eye of the Storm, one thing is clear: we are completely unprepared for what Mother Nature is throwing at us — and it’s only getting worse.

Tornadoes, hurricanes, deadly heat waves… they’re increasing. But our readiness? Crumbling. Why aren’t we adapting? Why are insurance companies collapsing under the pressure of disasters we knew were coming?

Plus: a shocking new Gen Alpha survey (ages 12–15) shows we’re failing the future generation, too. From climate to culture — we are NOT ready.

🌪️ We’re Not Ready for What’s Coming | Karel Cast Ep. 25-105

I Survived #25: I Survived the Dust Bowl, 1935	
Written by Lauren Tarshis
Narrated by Todd Menesses	

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was the worst environmental disaster in American history, a time when "black blizzards" of dust, some hundreds of miles wide, swept across the southern plains. Hundreds of people were killed. Thousands of farms were buried. Millions of refugees fled starvation and sickness in the plains only to face hatred and prejudice in California.

In her 25th I Survived audiobook, Lauren Tarshis brings this desperate time of poverty and fear to life through the thrilling story of an eleven-year-old boy who risks his life to save his family and friends during the worst dust storm of all, an event that would become known as "Black Sunday."
