    I imagine many of those suppliers are simply rebranding their Bird Flu or Pandemic kits (from 2006) all the basics are the same: masks, hand sanitizers etc…

  2. Jenni, I suspect that they can remarket them as an earthquake kit in the future. I have to wonder, however – if you're wearing gloves, where do you put the hand soap?
