Keep your home supplies - water, food, fuel, matches, flashlights, handcrank radio - in an accessible place.  We keep ours in a back yard shed which , even if it collapese, will be more accessible than, say, the basement.

Also, keep your bedside flashlight tucked between the mattress and boxspring.  I had kept mine on the nightstand for years before the Northridge quake and it flew across the room during the quake and I couldn't find it for days afterward.
