According to Bob Carey, earthquake coordinator, the report will help motivate people to better prepare for a quake. But what can one person possibly do to fight a whole earthquake? Since The Big One is not a question of if, but when, we brainstormed to come up with four ways your family can prepare for the immanent disaster:

• Relocate two-years’ supply from basement to roof for easier access.

• Move from house made out of bricks into safe and fun Bouncy Castle.

• Stock up on extra-jiggly food supplies such as Jell-O and marshmallows.

• Join a creepy survivalist militia for protection when society breaks down and chaos reigns.
