Southern California has long been thought of as the home of the earthquake. Things have been pretty calm in the Golden State for many years but that changed recently with two back to back earthquakes. The first one was relatively small with a magnitude of 3.6, but the second was stronger and clocked in at 5.1. Since then, Los Angeles has been shaken by nearly 175 smaller aftershocks. The New York Times reports that “geologists see them as the predictable end of a cycle: a return to what might be an uncomfortable normal in which 5-magnitude earthquakes become routine events.”
In the same article, The Times stated that these quakes are putting “preparedness back on the map”. Anticipating emergencies and being prepared ahead of time can be the key to surviving events like earthquakes. Vegan Unplugged by Jon Robertson with recipes by Robin Robertson is a pantry cuisine cookbook that features a concise emergency preparedness section for everyone in the family, including companion animals. This handy book contains instructions on how to put together a Five-Day Meal Box to feed up to four people for five days, and how to personalize your home pantry for emergencies.

Vegan Unplugged is a must for those who want to be ready for crisis situations in these unpredictable times.
