Disaster

[close] This is a group for people with an interest in disasters to share recommendations and insights. We are interested in books explicitly about disasters but also those about root causes; be they political, social or environmental.

[close] Whether you are the leader of your family, your church, community group, nonprofit or other business - or even of yourself, if you want to learn how to be resilient, or help others chose resiliency over being stuck, longing for a past that has gone, maybe forever, this is the place for you! The most successful teachers know, that they teach what they want to learn more about! While animal books from W Bruce Cameron will be our North Star, we will be covering books from all categories, as long as they help us to understand resiliency and how to use t to make our lives, (or the lives or others better. After every disaster, people emerge in a "honeymoon " phase - just happy to have survived and ready to get back to their norm. Frequently, their "Norm" is gone, sometimes forever! There is a decent into helplessness, hopelessness, depression, despair, even thoughts of suicide. This can last up to years! People from vulnerable populations get overwhelmed. Do YOU want to make a difference? January 2022 to May is going to be our Phase 1. Please be flexible as we learn how to do this the best way. June through Early August will be our Phase 2 where we will bring in many more personal experiences of dealing with the challenges of loss and bringing in Resiliency. In late August through December 2022 We are going to deal with integrating Bruce's Study Guides for Children and Adults, extending Disaster Preparedness Month from September through January 8, 2023.

[close] This group is for the open and honest discussion of books about emergency and disaster prepping including SHTF and Doomsday prepping. Political/Religious discussion checked at the door. This is about prepping.

[close] From June 10th to August 10th, the editor and writers of Coming Unglued: Six Stories about Things Falling Apart, will be on hand to answer your questions about the stories within. We would be pleased and honored if you would join us.
