8 Lifesaving Gadgets to Buy NOW Before “The Big One” Hits

By 8List

The last major earthquake that was caused by the movement of the West Valley Fault (WVF) happened in 1658. According to observations collected over a period of 1,400 years, the WVF shifts and causes a major earthquake at an average of every 350 years. It’s been 358 years since the last major earthquake, so dear friends, there’s no doubt that the big one can happen anytime soon.

If you think that this is something you’ll only be experiencing through the news, think again. The WVF passes through many major provinces and cities in Luzon, from Bulacan to Canlubang (and tons of places in between). It’s best you check how far your home, office and other frequented spots are from the WVF, and more importantly, prepare for the big one NOW.

Here’s a good place to start. Check out 8 gadgets that might just save your life if and when the worst happens.
