Readiness 101: Being Disaster Ready Without Becoming a Prepper - Paperback

by G. Peltz (Author)

Some people want you to believe that you need freeze dried prepackage food that will last a hundred years and a zombie proof underground bunker in your backyard in order for you to be ready for a disaster. Of course, those people are also probably more than happy to sell you that food and charge you to install that bunker. With a little knowledge and some basic planning, you can be ready for the kind of disasters that happen all around us on a regular basis. This book is a plain language, common sense, everyday approach to being prepared for a real world disaster. It is not a Prepper's guide to the end of the world, but rather an everybody's guide to being prepared in case of real world emergencies like a snowstorm, hurricane, tornado or flood. If you have a family, or live in a home, or breathe, well then one day, you just might need this book. Because whether it's the end of the world, or just the storm of the decade, sooner or later you are going to have a day that is just not going to be normal. And on that day, the superstores will be closed, the grocery stores will be closed, the greasy clowns will be closed...and if they're not, even if all of those places are somehow still open, you just might not be able to get to them. The easy, conversational tone of the writing, the use of everyday supplies that don't need to be found at a survival store, or ordered off of the internet and the lack of digging zombie-proof shelters make it a book for the less paranoid among us. The purpose of this book is simply to present you with some basic "common sense" survival techniques to help you be more prepared in the event of a disaster than you might currently be. It is not to give you instructions on surviving a specific type of disaster. It is strictly a book about being prepared to survive the effects common to many disaster scenarios, such as not having access to food and water, living without public utilities for a period of time, and holding out on your own until either civilization is restored or you can be rescued and moved to a safer place.
