Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock . There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just in the District of North Vancouver.

If you are not mentally and physically in good shape, not frightened to do all of this on your own, not fully equipped and practiced in outdoor survival skills, then don't even try to do most any of this. If a really BIG earthquake hits expect to live by yourself, outside, for a long, long time.

Bought rocky lot, created megalith home amid boulders

Bought rocky lot, created megalith home amid boulders

1,649,861 views • Apr 10, 2021 • Steve Demarest took advantage of the huge boulders covering his land in the Cascade Mountains to build a home that is part cave and part megalith dwelling. The location was originally a cave where his children played, but when they outgrew it, he moved in with his tools and began to craft the rock into a shelter. After an initial excavation, he found the space too small for a cabin so he built a stone hot tub and then continued to push back into the hillside. After a month of drilling through an intersection of two boulders at the back of the cave, the rock “finally gave up” and Steve could move into a second chamber that would become the house. Enclosed by huge boulders for walls, the space just lacked a roof. Demarest devised a spider web of steel I-beams attached to a center column to cover the space. Covered in waterproofing and insulating materials and finally, with dirt, the home is insulated from the region’s extreme winters and summers. On the property, Demarest has also built a stone and wood cabin with one boulder wall and rock refuse of another. One summer, he and his son built a stream-fed, wood-fired hot tub underneath the shade of a boulder. Demarest admits it would be easier working with dirt or wood, but he feels challenged by the rock and wouldn’t have it any other way. On *faircompanies https://faircompanies.com/videos/boug...
