Why do you need batteries for an earthquake?
Power lines may be pulled apart during an earthquake. Power may be cut off for many days so batteries are good to have around in an emergency kit. Likewise, water pipes may be damaged causing water supply shortages so a supply of bottled water is good to have on hand.
