I don't know a single person that doesn't have plenty of food/water stores and power generation among most other necessities for natural disasters.

Having lived in SF myself, I had all these things. In the event of a 7+ earthquake I was prepared to ride it out in my apartment if possible or escape to various points across the peninsula.

My wife and I made it a fun hiking game. We'd walk various routes and plan for the OH SHIT earthquake. I sure as hell had my handgun available too in case of an apartment break in or if something big enough hit where we had to flee on foot. The most irritating part was 10 round magazines to be legal in CA. Having 9mm was pointless so I bought a .45 to complement it.

My wife enjoys when we go shooting and we frequently review situations. In the end, it might be for nothing, but I'd rather be half ass prepared than praying for help from someone else.
