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.
