I agree with Intell and will add that it is also important for you to have emergency supplies on hand. You need bottled water, canned goods, first aid supplies, extra clothing, shoes and glasses, hygiene supplies, etc. Also a wrench to turn off the gas if the quake is a large one and you smell gas leaking. You can find a list at the website below.
