How Shopping and Getting Prepared Works on Earthquakestore.com

Earthquakestore.com is a disaster-preparedness retailer that sells ready-made 72-hour survival kits, individual emergency gear, and automatic seismic gas shutoff valves, and it also publishes guidance for building an emergency handbook. You can browse products, add them to a cart, and check out, while separately using the site's preparedness content to plan what you need. The site does not publish pricing tiers, membership requirements, or a stated free-shipping policy, so treat any cost or account question as something to confirm at checkout.

What the site actually offers

The catalog is organized around two things: complete kits and single-purpose equipment.

Kits and general supplies

• Earthquake kits and disaster preparedness kits, positioned as ready-to-use rather than build-your-own
• 72-hour survival kits
• Survival gear, emergency food, and water
• Safety DVDs

Individual equipment (featured products with listed prices)

The site frames its audience as individuals, communities, governments, and businesses, and cites FEMA's recommendation that everyone keep a two-week supply of food and other survival gear.

How the shopping flow works

The site follows a standard store pattern, and the evidence supports these steps:

1. Browse the kit and equipment listings. Product pages carry a name, a short descriptor, and a regular/sale price line.
2. Add to cart. The site confirms this with an "Item added to your cart" notice.
3. Review and check out. The site references a cart and a checkout path, but does not publish payment methods, shipping terms, or account requirements in the material available here.

Because payment platforms and pricing rules aren't documented, verify shipping cost, tax, return terms, and payment options during checkout rather than assuming them.

The preparedness content, not just the store

Beyond selling, the site positions itself as a guide:

• Emergency handbook creation — it walks you through building your own handbook with tips for earthquakes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, power outages, snowstorms, fires, tornadoes, floods, and terrorist attacks.
• Survival guide content — aimed at protecting family, pets, property, and home.
• FEMA-aligned baseline — no-refrigeration food, water, a first aid kit, flashlights with spare batteries, a radio, and optionally tents and sleeping bags.

This matters if you're deciding between buying a pre-built kit and assembling your own: the site's own guidance gives you a checklist to compare against any kit you're considering.

Before you order, check these yourself

The listing data here doesn't answer every purchase question, so confirm:

• Stock status — at least one featured item (Quake Alarm) shows as sold out, so availability varies by product.
• Specifications — gas valves are listed by size and pressure (for example, 3/4" horizontal, or 1-1/2" at 60 psi). Match these to your actual gas line before buying; a wrong size is not a preference issue.
• What's inside a kit — "72-hour" and "survival kit" are labels, not standardized contents. Compare the item list against the FEMA-style baseline above.
• Total cost — listed prices are per unit and exclude any shipping or tax not shown here.

If your goal is a single ready-made kit, the kit listings plus the handbook guidance are the relevant path. If your goal is a specific piece of hardware like a seismic gas shutoff valve, go straight to the equipment listings and verify the size and pressure rating first.
