Disaster Preparedness & Survival Second Edition

Modern society has become so reliant on electricity, fossil fuels, on-demand water service, and other modern conveniences that it is hard to imagine life without them. We have also become reliant on instant government help, in the form of Police, Fire, and Medical, and Public Works response to every conceivable emergency and need. But, what would you do if those services became disrupted for any length of time? How would you cope if no help was available? Mankind lived without these services for thousands of years, but within a short time has become utterly dependent on them. Riots, looting, and civil unrest occur each time we see a crisis unfold. This book is designed to help you prepare for any natural or man-made catastrophe, and then to help you survive in that hostile environment. Proper preparation and training can be the difference between life and death.
