I first read this book on kindle a couple of years ago. It is so full of valuable information and lists of material that I had to purchase it in paperback. In fact, if you have never read this book get yourself a paperback version today. Everyone lives in a places where disasters happen, hurricanes, tornados, fires. We need to be better prepared to take care of ourselves and care for the people around us. This used to be common knowledge but we have lost a great degree of self sufficiency in today’s world.

Better than a lot of other disaster books. Learned quite a bit more on initial reading. Time to repack my bags.
