But yes, I'm ready. I went through the Loma Pereta earthquake in 1989, three days with no power, food, and then water. I was stocked up on canned goods then and still to this day. We also live near train tracks, and I'm always worried that we'll have to leave without much notice so we have over night bags packed and stored in the garage.
