Disaster Preparation And Survival How We Survived Hurricane Katrina And Other Calamities PDF Download

Are You Prepared for an Emergency or Disaster? A Hurricane? Tornado? Fire? Flood? Tsunami? Earthquake? If you are like most people, you aren't. Maybe you have thought about it, but it seems like too much work, too much organization, in fact if you have kids, it might seem too much like herding cats. We know we should prepare now so that everyone in the family knows what to do in case of a specific kind of emergency. Because, the lives of our family members may depend on it. Disaster preparedness plans are naturally different, depending on the emergency. For example, you don't want your kids in the bathtub with a mattress over them if the house is on fire. You don't want the family in the basement during a tsunami event either, right? Kids are not adults. They don't know the right things to do in an emergency, unless we first tell them what they should do. My ten-year-old is a little bit immature for his age. I would want him to go to a place where I could quickly find him in the event of a house fire. If he isn't at that place, I am going into the burning structure to get him. Wouldn't it suck if he ran next door and I died because I didn't know he was safe? Trained by the experts at CERT (Civilian Emergency Response Team) to understand how to prepare for and survive disasters, and a leader in Disaster Recovery, Richard Lowe lays out how to make you, your family, and your friends ready for any disaster, large or small.
