With Hurricane Sandy raging last week along the East Coast, families in  
California were reminded to always be prepared for an emergency. While the  
beach cities won't likely see a hurricane, an earthquake or a tsunami are  
potential threats. When the "big one" comes, it is expected that Southern  
California cities will be without power for several days, and emergency  
help may only be available via helicopter, according to reports Mayor Jeff  
Duclos and Mayor Pro Tem Kit Bobko shared in September after attending  
California emergency preparedness meetings. Luckily, one room on the corner  
of Pacific Coast Highway and Pier Avenue stands tall and ready to serve the  
community.
