Resiliency is a worthwhile pursuit, both for individuals and communities. But how to build strength into our lives as citizens? And into our towns? According to author Scott James, the answer lies within our neighborhoods, where sustainability meets preparedness. Prepared Neighborhoods will walk you step by step through creating a more resilient - and enjoyable - neighborhood and community.
Self-sufficiency for every citizen is not realistic nor desirable. Creating group resilience through urban homesteading and neighborhood preparedness projects is a much more attractive goal that leads to a stronger community and brighter future!
This informative book will help you realize just how important knowing your neighbors can be! James does an excellent job of laying out the benefits of being prepared. It's not just about surviving in a disaster, it's about overall well-being, lowering stress, boosting morale, and living life knowing that you have the support of your community. The chapters and concepts are well-organized and detailed and the writing is engaging and clear. I will recommend this book to my neighbors!
