The second edition, Disaster Preparedness for Country Living, draws from the other five books in the Disaster Preparedness Series to improve and complete the book which began the series. The name change of the book and the series better reflects the purpose of these books.Through the research and experience gained to update these books, there are changes and additions as time has dictated.
If you already have an Emergency Plan for your family to follow, and you have an emergency food supply, know how to purify and store water, prepare for earthquakes, deal with floods, fires, high winds, tornados, civil disorders, emergency evacuation, emergency shelter, barter for what you need, provide for the care of your animals’ needs in an emergency, that’s a very good start. Now, you must also plan for Terrorism.

The rest of you may want to read on and benefit from our life’s experience and from our considerable research and study. We have sampled nearly all of the disasters listed above and we wouldn’t consider trying again without some preparation.
What’s that? Oh, you can’t see any need for spending money and being prepared for something that hasn’t happened? Advance preparation would have helped every one of those who waited in line for a blanket or a bottle of water, or some food, or struggled to piece together records and numbers to reclaim some of their losses.
Terrorism has entered the list of possible disasters, more insidious because of its origin in man. Unlike natural disasters, we have few clues as to when, what, or how. The book has been updated to include this topic, too.
This book has a very important purpose in your life. Take advantage of it!
