The world is changing. So are the threats. Are you prepared?
Whether you're deploying to a humanitarian crisis, reporting from a conflict zone, traveling off the beaten path, or simply wanting to become more prepared for emergencies, The HEAT Book 2.0 delivers the practical knowledge you need to recognize danger, make better decisions under pressure, and increase your chances of coming home safely.
Based on the principles of Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) used worldwide by humanitarian organizations, journalists, security professionals, and expedition teams, this updated second edition transforms professional safety training into a compact, easy-to-read guide you can take anywhere.
As global instability grows, the risks are evolving. Armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorism, natural disasters, climate-related emergencies, artificial intelligence, and rapidly changing geopolitical realities are reshaping the environments in which people work and travel. The HEAT Book 2.0 helps you prepare for both familiar dangers and emerging threats with practical, field-tested guidance.
Inside you'll discover:
• 16 interactive, scenario-based exercises, including 2 brand-new missions
• 8 new chapters covering today's most relevant personal safety challenges
• Practical guidance drawn from real-world incidents and established best practices
• Step-by-step advice for recognizing, avoiding, and responding to dangerous situations
• Essential skills for travel security, emergency preparedness, and personal risk management
What would you do if...
• You're caught in an ambush?
• A peaceful demonstration suddenly turns violent?
• You're confronted at an illegal checkpoint?
• You're the victim of a robbery?
• An active shooter attacks nearby?
• You stumble into a minefield?
• You're first on the scene of a serious road traffic accident?
• Someone needs a tourniquet—or a PEP kit?
• You must quickly assess risk and decide whether to stay, leave, or take cover?,
The HEAT Book 2.0 answers these questions with clear explanations, practical techniques, and proven survival strategies developed through years of hostile-environment training.
More than a reference guide, this is an interactive learning experience.
Join Ashley and her colleagues on their first humanitarian deployment to Zembala, a fictional Central African nation in crisis. As you progress through realistic scenarios, your decisions shape the outcome. Learn by doing as you navigate insecurity, ethical dilemmas, and rapidly changing situations while absorbing practical safety lessons, travel advice, and life-saving techniques.
Whether you're an aid worker, journalist, NGO professional, contractor, adventurer, student, traveler, or simply someone who believes preparation saves lives, The HEAT Book 2.0 is an invaluable addition to your personal safety library.
When everything goes wrong, your preparation becomes your greatest asset.
Your mission is simple: survive.
Can you take the HEAT?
