About this title

Synopsis

What will you do when the lights go out? Every year tens of thousands of ordinary people find themselves facing some sort of extraordinary disaster. It might be little more than the inconvenience of a temporary power failure but it could be the awesome devastation caused by a powerful hurricane, tornado, or flood. Suddenly you could find yourself depending on your own resources to stay comfortable, or in the worse case scenario — alive.

The Pocket Disaster Survival Guide is a comprehensive guidebook on how to cope with disaster situations. This handy, easy-to-use pocket guide contains the information you and your family need to prepare for and deal with all kinds of natural or man-made disasters.
