Diaster Survival kit

When I woke up this morning, the first thing I heard from the news is the Nuclear emergency in Japan. This has been terrifying and I can't imagine the experience the Japanese is encountering right now. My heart goes to them and I really hope there will not be any explosion and hope Japan can get through this crisis. one key takeaway I have is we need to be thankful of what we have and live a happy life as we don't really know what will happen next. I don't believe the whole town (Sendai) in Japan is gone in 30 mins! This is scary... I also learned that my friend lost several family members from the earthquake. A friend of mine has put together a Diaster Survival Kit and I wanted to used my blog to share this with you all.
