Before It's Too Late: A Combat Veteran's Guide to Family Readiness & Survival

HE’S AT SEA. THE POWER IS OUT. ARE YOU READY?

For forty years, Thomas A. Wick has managed high-stakes communications in the world’s most hostile environments — from the missile-locked decks of the USS Worden (CG-18) during Operation Earnest Will to the home front in rural Maine.

But this book isn’t for the sailors. It’s for the ones they leave behind.

Written for his wife, Lynne, and every family who has ever looked at a dead cell phone or a dark circuit breaker and thought, “What now?” — BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE is a battle-tested blueprint for domestic readiness. Across eight clear, no-nonsense chapters, Wick delivers the essential systems you need to keep your home functional when the grid fails.

Inside: Water storage and purification. Food reserves. Backup power. Heat and cooking without the grid. Emergency communications. Medical preparedness. Home security. Nuclear preparedness. And the Go-Binder — the exact documents your family needs to survive any disaster.

Don’t wait for the siren. Get ready before it’s too late.
