Preparedness for major disasters and emergencies has become an increasingly popular subject in many countries in recent years. Major disasters and terrorists attacks have demonstrated how many people living in Western countries are deeply unprepared for “the worst”.

This book looks at simple survival techniques – many based on traditional approaches to emergencies – that those living in urban and city environments may have forgotten or not learned!

Taking a practical approach the book explores how to survive when water and food supplies are interrupted. It also contains an important section on security – how to secure your home and to stay safe. The book is designed for everybody and looks at skills, techniques and knowledge that anyone can master.

It focuses particularly on disasters which interrupt normal life and supply lines for periods of days or weeks, rather than “end-of-the-world” scenarios. Taking this approach provides a sensible set of steps, precautions and advice for dealing with real-world disasters rather than Hollywood fantasies!
