• Earthquake evacuation: grab and go when aftershocks hit
• Sheltering in place while inspecting structural damage
• Debris navigation with hard hat, goggles and pry bar
• Extended power and water outages following a quake
• Secondary disasters: fires, flooding, road closures
• Wildfire evacuation
• General 72-hour emergency preparedness

• Store your ShakeGuard near your exit, not buried in a back closet. In an earthquake you may need to grab it in total darkness
• The motion sensor headlamps are hands-free. keep them accessible, not packed at the bottom
• The pry bar can open jammed doors or move debris blocking your exit, don't underestimate it
• Check food and water expiration annually; we recommend aligning this with the start of earthquake preparedness month each April
• Tuck a list of personal items to add (medications, documents, cash, phone charger) inside the bag so you're reminded before an emergency strikes

72% of U.S. households recognize the risk of earthquakes, yet the vast majority have taken no meaningful steps to prepare. And earthquakes don't just happen in California. FEMA and USGS estimate annualized earthquake losses to U.S. buildings alone at nearly $14.7 billion per year.

Common question: "Do I really need earthquake-specific gear, or will a regular emergency kit do?" The difference matters more than most people realize. Standard kits don't include a hard hat, pry bar, safety goggles, or work gloves, the tools you actually need when the shaking stops and you're navigating debris, checking your structure, or helping a neighbor. That's what sets the ShakeGuard apart as a dedicated earthquake survival kit rather than a repurposed general kit.

After a major earthquake, first responders prioritize hospitals, schools, and high-density areas first. FEMA's guidance is to be self-sufficient for a minimum of 72 hours and in heavily affected areas, that window can stretch significantly longer. The ShakeGuard is built around exactly that reality.
