it should have started “I’ve HEARD some theories” not that I HAVE theories.

Some thought that some media targeting women (on TV, in Magazines, on Websites), had run pieces on
disaster preparation, how to prepare a kit for your home, etc…

We previously prepared two emergency kits. After the 9.0 quake, we just moved their location: one by the entrance and one by the balcony (rather than them both being in the middle)
In the near future, I’m sure the kits will go back to the middle since the tremors have finally (mostly) subsided.

I guess that would put us in the minority having prepared kits.

The women are better prepared. I always envision the survivalist type, building shelters and stocking canned food, to be male.
