		from a brochure published by City Manager's Office, City of Berkeley California "After a catastrophic earthquake, it may take several days before government resources become available. You and your neighbors must be prepared to survive on your own, and take care of one another, for 5 to 7 days. Develop an emergency plan that includes emergency supplies, an evacuation plan and an assembly point. Take classes in light search & rescue, simple firefighting, and disaster first aid." 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley CA 94704. E-mail: projectimpact@ci.berkeley.ca.us Link to BERKELEY FIRE DEPT.
