A few personal tips

Not sure this covers in the guidebook, so I wish to note here:

• If the lifeline stops (no electricity, hydro, gas), the chance is that you can not use your bank card to get some cash nor use the credit card. Always best to carry some CASH and COINS (to use public phone) with you.
• Before going to bed, refrain leaving dishes in the kitchen but put them away.
• Good to keep some water/hot water in the sink/bath tub (for possible fire).
• Keep a pair of slippers wrapped in a plastic bag by the bed (so you can wear it even if the floor gets full of broken glass)
