Preparedness requires you to ask yourself many difficult questions. How would my family survive with no power or water for a week? Where would I go if a storm or fire destroyed my home? How would I collect my children from school in the midst of a security emergency?
Preparedness also allows you to remove some of the fear brought on by these questions. When you identify the potential threats and emergencies you may some day face, you can construct well thought-out responses that will help you survive, and maybe even thrive, despite the chaos around you.
One of the keys to being prepared is to have the things you need for survival well ahead of an emergency or disaster. This book will help you identify the survival supplies and gear you need to complete your family preparedness plans.
The feature articles in each chapter explain the importance of each type of gear and demonstrate how to effectively use it in survival situations. The Buyer’s Guides in each chapter list specifications for dozens of survival products so you can quickly and easily compare among various manufactures and models. Products are listed in order by price from least expensive to most expensive (based on MSRP at time of printing) so you can evaluate what you are getting for your money and choose the gear that is best for your needs, your skills, and your budget.
When you are prepared, you’re not just hoping for the best, you’re planning for the best possible outcome no matter what life throws at you.
