Recovery
Immediately after the pole shift their may be injuries to attend to. Since the massive
earthquakes are past, a large tent can be set up as temporary housing, covered by a water
proof tarp as heavy rains can be anticipated. Setting up or repairing facilities to grow food
will take some time, and in the mean time families should anticipate living off their
supplies. Supplies should be stored below the surface of the ground so they don't get blown
away, and covered with metal sheeting or earth to protect from possible firestorms and
rain.
