The big one hits. We can expect thousands of wounded and tens of thousands of displaced. The San Andreas cuts off the 10, 5, and 15 freeways. Ports might be rendered useless. We might likely be cut off and isolated for days. What contingency plans are in place by hospitals, law enforcement, fire departments, utility companies, schools? Do we have enough shelters? How have municipalities, utilities, and first responders prepared? Once the earth shakes, what should you do? What can you expect in the next minutes, hours and days? How can you prepare?
