I haven't read a lot of these type books, they always seemed to me to be for those paranoid "end of the world" type folks. But, living in the Pacific Northwest, and with the possibility of "The Big One" earthquake occurring, I thought it was time to start to prepare. I found this book was a good place to start. The author clearly and simply explains the who, what, where, when and how of to prepare. Nothing scary or unrealistic (to me) like preparing for the zombie apocalypse, he offers instructions on how to make oneself ready in case a major natural disaster occurs. Things we should be doing now to protect ourselves from the environment, and to ensure we have enough supplies to survive a couple of weeks until help arrives. Things that I will be implementing in my own home. All in all, I found the book to be informative and sensible.

This book is very informative and gives you lots of ideas on how to prepare for disasters and how to respond to them both mentally and physically.
