The best way to hedge against inflation is to build up your connections to others. The best way to invest is with other people and community. The best way to survive an earthquake or a crime is to get connected to the people around you.

Lucy Jones writes in the LA Times: People, not kits. If you really want to be ready for the next big earthquake, forget the earthquake kit and go talk to your neighbors.

All Southern Californians know we have earthquakes and that we should do something to be ready for them. But we have very different opinions about what an earthquake means to us and what we should do about them.

If you’ve never felt a strong earthquake, your fear may be about the moment of the earthquake itself. The unseen threat that could trap you in a pile of rubble at an unpredictable time taps into our primal fears of the unseen predator. This is why people keep searching for earthquake prediction even though good building codes do more to save lives.

First responders and emergency managers focus on the immediate aftermath. They have seen too many people begging for water after a disaster. In the Red Cross shelters, they’ve seen the necessity of medications and the emotional benefits of comfort items. They want everyone to have a kit to reduce this pain.
