  1. Walter,
    The Aftershock app is definitely working perfectly. Many people have successfully utilized the app since it was released last week. Are you having problems using it?

  2. Thank you for sharing, Geoff. This is a very handy tool, especially being able to compare different locations. Definitely brings into focus what’s necessary to have on hand and in the back of your mind.
