Carolyn Seitz from the Sheriff's Advisory Council sends us this:

Here is a link to the Emergency Survival Guide published by the County of Los Angeles.
It is a 100 page guide that provides useful tools for getting yourself and your family prepared for the next big quake or other catastrophic event.
