Safe Disaster


Hello All,

We are a local distributor offering the very best survival kit products available on the market today and we are based out of Santa Clarita and distributing Nationwide. We are proud to be advertising with your Hometown Station KHTS AM1220.
We recently searched to purchase first aid kits to keep in our home as we have a 15, 17, and 8 year old kids. All this talk about earthquakes and terrorist attacks, fires, has reminded us that we were not as prepared as we should have been. It has been said that only 7% of americans are prepared for any type of emergency. (ARE YOU PREPARED??)


This made us aware that we all need to take part in getting prepared and also networking with neighbors to check resources....remember without electricity, gas, phone lines, retail.....do you have enough resources in your house or car to take care of everyone in your family including PETS?Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Earthquakes. You never know when they will strike and you have to be well prepared for when the unexpected arrives. To get started we recommend basic emergency & disaster supplies. Get one step closer to being prepared for what life may send your way.



Everyone has a responsibility to carefully plan and prepare in advance to be comletely self-sustaining for at least one month after a disaster strikes. We relize that preparing for a disaster is overwhelming if attempted all at once, or after the disaser strikes...when it's too late.


While much attention is given to hurricanes, emergencies happen in communities across the country daily from power outages to tornadoes to wildfires. But despite these every day occurrences, Americans still have not made preparedness a part of their everyday lives. By taking some simple steps to prepare, Americans will have the basic capabilities to take on any disaster and allow responders to focus on those who can’t take care of themselves first.


There are six basics you should stock for your home:




Following an earthquake or other disaster, it is important to monitor local radio, television and other media resources for information about where to get emergency housing, food, medical attention, and financial assistance.


Assistance to families and individuals will come from a number of organizations. The American Red Cross and Salvation Army are often set up right away to offer immediate medical, food and housing needs. In the Santa Clarita Valley there are other volunteer organizations including churches and synagogues that are often involved as well.


After the disaster the City of Santa Clarita offers information and referrals to help people in shelters, and with locations of resources for direct assistance. The City will provide information to residents via:



  • Local Media

  • Channel 20: SCVTV

  • Radio: KHTS AM 1220

  • City website: http://www.santa-clarita.com/

  • City Facilities

  • Public Libraries

  • Senior Center Facilities

  • Informational Handouts

In the event of a severe disaster, the federal government is also called in to help individuals and families with temporary housing, counseling, low interest loans and grants, and other types of public assistance. Businesses, schools and farmers are also eligible for aid.


This Federal assistance becomes available when the President of the United States declares a "Major Disaster" at the request of the State's governor. When this happens, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sets up Disaster Application Centers to process applications. FEMA also uses an 800-phone number to register disaster applications as well. The number to call is announced via television, radio, newspapers, and throughout the City's various information networks.


Our QuakeDog Distributorship offers the finest survival products available on the market. We recommend purchasing survival kits for your home and your car.

Only 7% of Americans are prepared for an emergency. The way to always be prepared is to always have your emergency kit at hand. To us, this means the TRUNK of your car. If you get caught in a blizzard or become trapped away from home, you'll always be prepared.

Please browse our site at your leisure and let us know what we can do to help you find the kit that's right for you. Thank you and stay safe.
