Sure, You Need Water in Your Earthquake Kit, but Scuba Gear?
Real life superhero Hideaki Akaiwa gives new meaning to the word badass. While others gaped in shock at the scope of the disaster, Mr. Akaiwa donned his superhero costume (aka scuba gear), dove into the tsunami waters, found his house, and then rescued his wife who was barely keeping her head above water on the second floor.
When his mother did not turn up at the local disaster shelters he went back in the water and did the same thing for her. Read the full description of his amazing exploits in the current edition of Badass of the Week.
You don’t need to be a scuba-diving superhero to be a the badass who gets your family to safety in an earthquake. Take a few minutes now to create a disaster plan for you and your family. No scuba suit required.
