The Bhatia Group

Vivek Bhatia was annoyed at the incompleteness of many of the more popular earthquake kit lists available. He decided to merge them all, plus look at some of the hurricane or tornado kits also available. This is his personal belief in what a comprehensive earthquake kit should contain. One day he hopes to actually have everything on this list :-)
