by Harris J. Andrews

What will you do when the lights go out? Every year tens of thousands of ordinary people find themselves facing some sort of extraordinary disaster.

Suddenly you could find yourself depending on your own resources to stay comfortable, or in the worse case scenario — alive. The Pocket Disaster Survival Guide is a comprehensive guidebook on how to cope with disaster situations. This handy, easy-to-use pocket guide contains the information you and your family need to prepare for and deal with all kinds of natural or man-made disasters.

Some useful information in here and interesting factoids about various natural and man made disasters. Also provides detailed lists of items for various emergency kits should you wish to assemble them.

Basic info for disaster readiness. Good jumping off point for a more detailed planning.

[Nelson A. de Oliveira · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somewhat US centric and repetitive.

[Carl · Rating 3 out of 5]

A no-frills, basic guide. Well, there is one frill: the cover glows in the dark. Not sure just how useful that would be in a survival situation.
