Back to safety AFTER a quake or natural disaster. I am certain the best locomotor on the planet is man. Man has walked the entire surface of the planet without the use of motors or animals, and to areas where motors and animals could not pass. In my opinion the best disaster items to have on hand is food for a few weeks, a sleeping bag, small tent, walking shoes, water purification pills, and a rain coat. There have been migrations of millions of people into other countries and they did it on foot without any supplies at all. An adult male can easily walk 20 miles in one day, a family with little ones can walk about 10 miles. A man can walk down a loose horse. It's not comfortable. Good shoes are essential.

If you can't save yourself, there is no way to help others.
