Best picture hooks we've ever found. Use two hooks for large heavy items. The hook has a "maze" that the wire fits into. So it makes it nearly impossible for a picture or mirror to fall off the wall in an earthquake and hurt somebody.

| Holdrite QuickStrap QB-50-F Soft Belt-Style Water Heater Strap |

QuickBelt system includes: (4) straps, (4) lag bolts, and (2) belt clips. |
| AT&T 210M Trimline Corded Phone |
 |
When power goes out, you won't be able to use your cordless phone. This one works with the electricity supplied by the phone line, not your power line. |
| Red Cross Emergency Light |
 |
Plug these into any electrical outlet. When the power goes out, the light automatically goes on so you don't trip or fall in the dark. Then, unplug from the wall and use as a flashlight. Prongs are fold-up. Rechargeable internal battery powers the light for 4 hours. |
| Automatic Gas Shutoff Valve |
 |
Not available for purchase, but consider having a local contractor install this on the gas meter in your home. During an earthquake of sufficient size (typically a 5.2) it automatically shuts off the gas supply to your home. Currently I know of two contractors who install these valves ... Groth Gates and Robbin Heating and Air. If you know of others, please let me know. |
