Survivors, nevertheless; can get through even the toughest circumstances using the right information and tools. Knowing which type of disasters could affect your area will help your plan more thoroughly for the disaster.



It lurks in the back of our minds, just beyond our ability to see it-the likelihood that a tear may open up in the life's fabric without any warning-devastating a skyscraper, house or an entire civilization.



Today, almost nine out of ten Americans live in places that are at a high risk of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism, tornadoes or other disasters. No one knows when we have to make split second choices for ourselves and our families. How will we react in these situations? What would it feel like? These are the questions that need to be answered in order to prepare ourselves well for an emergency situation.

In addition to providing proven tips and strategies on how to smartly and quickly respond to disasters like earthquakes, fires, hurricanes and floods-how to stay protected from extreme weather and stay calm and composed during these situations, the book contains step by step advice on how to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.

It is aimed at helping you and your family plan for a variety of emergency situations, persevere during these times, and recover when it's over. 

Black Out Curtains - A Must Have!!

This is a must have on my list of thing to have up in your home. Especially if your like me and will most likely be hunkering in if something happens. Blackout Window Curtain are a great thing to have up anyway, they don't let the hot sun in the windows in the summer and in the winter they act like a thick thermal barrier to keep cold air out.
I actually noticed our power bill go down last summer when I put ours up. Not running the AC as much. Great for us because we have no trees at all in our yard. So no shade to cool off the house. These have helped a ton. They also will come in handy during a disaster. No one can see in your house. They can't see if you are using lights, etc. Great tool to have.

When Technology Fails

When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency, 2nd Edition is my favorite book on this subject. It is super thick and stuffed full of anything and everything that you might need to know in a SHTF situation. Almost 500 pages of awesomeness! My hubby loves this book and even bought a second copy for him to keep in his rig. When he is on the road he will be prepared.


FROM THE PRODUCT PAGE:

There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe.
When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing. You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine, and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials) offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good times and bad.
Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption seriously—When Technology Fails ends on a positive, proactive note with a new chapter on "Making the Shift to Sustainability," which offers practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community and global levels.

EMP SURVIVAL

I have had this book, EMP Survival: :How to Prepare Now and Survive, When an Electromagnetic Pulse Destroys Our Power Grid, on my survival book shelf for a while now. I pull it out every so often to reread it. It is a great book that is full of some very simple ideas on what to do after an EMP happens.

From the Back Cover

An EMP attack might cost $20 billion and a lot of inconvenience or- it might cause significant mortality.
The power grid failure could be repaired in days or- it could take years.
It could happen today or- next decade.
While Congress hears testimony of our nuclear armed enemies with enhanced EMP weapons- our electric power grid is more vulnerable than ever.
Political leaders and scientists encouraged Americans to prepare for a long term power outage in Congressional testimony. They admit to doing so themselves.
This book describes our personal preparation, survival research and purchasing experience to prepare for an EMP attack.

About the Author

This book is based on our reading of survival preparation texts and congressional testimony of EMP-related hearings, combined with our experience and training.  We have had careers in electrical engineering, holistic nutrition and public health sanitation. The intent is to describe our preparation, research and purchasing experience so that readers can benefit from our effort. The EMP survivalist must have some expertise in areas of communication, medicine, first aid, wild foods, solar energy, and electronics.  We hope that readers will further research and enhance these plans and options for their situation.
