Product Description
The world is a more dangerous place than it used to be. Organize for Disaster: Prepare Your Family and Your Home for Any Natural or Unnatural Disaster engages that danger head-on. It advises preparing for disasters as part of everyday life instead of as an urgent event in the heat of the moment. Organize for Disaster provides organizing tools including shopping lists for purchasing disaster provisions, storage ideas, sample plans for communicating, evacuating and escaping, and checklists. The book recognizes the entire family can be involved in preparedness and includes a What Children Can Do section. Organize for Disaster is current with information about terrorism as well as natural disasters. It is exactly what every busy family needs to be prepared for any disaster.

Kindergarten by Nancy Dickey (Murphy, NC) 1 Stars

There are other books available that offer a lot better information than this. YOU could have written this book. Pass this one by.

Basic Common Sense by K. Burns (Atlanta, GA) 3 Stars
February 27, 2009
This is basically a common sense how-to survival manual. Not a book that you have to read word for word, but could be used as a basic check-off list and possibly remind you of areas that need better preparation. Definitely something that could be used for the family to prepare for disaster without chaos.

comprehensive and easy to read by Amber Kelley (VT, USA) 5 Stars
August 28, 2008
This was a nice light read but was still full of great information. I HIGHLY recommend it! It's a great comprehensive overview of preparedness, you could even call it a 'primer'. I found it to be a great book for someone just starting out. If you're experienced in preparedness that book may seem elementary to you but you also might find a few things you haven't thought of. It's certainly worth the investment Another big plus with this title is that it doesn't lean heavily on one area or another like so many other preparedness books. I have about a dozen different titles and some of them lean heavily on food storage or off grid skills. The type of information included does not get outdated. This is important to consider in preparedness books. I've seen several that were Y2K based (or other outdated concerns). Each chapter has a section at the end telling how you can involve children in the process which I found quite useful. There is also an appendix of about a dozen forms that will come in quite useful in your preparedness process. There are a few items that make this book worth holding onto long term as opposed to reading, assimilating the info, and passing it on.

Bought this as a gift. Seemed to be appropriate. Easy to read and follow.

Very Basic by Lao T. Sue (Virginia) 3 Stars

If you've done any research on the web about emergency preparedness, you already know much of what's in this book. It might be good for a family or individual with no prior consideration of the issue, however.
