Yes, earthquake/disaster preparedness does TOO count as "getting my house in order". Even if it's just planning and decision-making, not implementing. So there. Pthththbtt.
Actually, a very large part of earthquake/disaster preparedness is planning and decision making.
I've got lots of info on earthquake preparedness if you want to borrow some (and there's also www.72hours.org). The latest version of "Putting down roots in Earthquake country" has a great tip: put shoes & a flashlight in a drawsting bag attached to the head of your bed. That way, if there's an earthquake at night, you know where shoes & a flashlight are immediately, and you can get at the shoes without worrying about any broken glass that might be on the floor.

I agree wholeheartedly.
Sure, I'd love to borrow any info you have. I probably have a lot of the basics but there's no telling what I've missed. Shoes protected from glass and stored by the bed, for example! (I've got a flashlight within reach, but not shoes.) That's excellent.
