Emergency Disaster Survival
Disaster Survival Do You Have A Survival Kit
Emergency Preparedness
Survival kits are a must have item for you to be prepared for a disaster. A disaster could strike from anywhere, a hurricane. an earthquake, a terrorist attack, a snow or ice storm or a tornado could happen at any time. One of the first things that happen during a disaster is that the vital and fundamental services that we take for granted in our day to day lives come to a complete halt. Electric power lines are usually the first essentials to fail in times of disaster. For safety and to prevent fires natural gas lines are shut down. Telephones will not work and cell phones if they continue to work will be overwhelmed with calls. Water lines also break, and even if they don't they may be filled with water that is not fit to drink. Streets become danger zones, traffic lights are out, traffic jams, accidents or rubble can make streets and highways impassable or, at best, not safe for vehicles. Vehicles in garages with automatic doors will be trapped inside. Even if your vehicle is available and you venture out, because street lights are out you face dangerous crossings at every intersection. Suppose you find a store that is open. They will accept only exact cash amounts for whatever they have available if anything. You have to ask yourself should you risk driving anyway?
Once your gas tank runs dry you won't able to get any more because the pumps at the gas station run on electricity. Without some other source of heat, the temperature in your house goes down and down without the electricity to run a furnace. Even if you live in the country side and have your own well, you won't be able to get water because the well pump runs on electricity too. Sanitary conditions deteriorate rapidly because even though you might be able to use the toilet - only once - but with broken water pipes or without electricity to start a pump, toilets would not refill themselves. The lack of electric power also means that the night is totally dark. Frightened children cling to you for reassurance.
Daily Disasters Are Happening Around The World
Take a look at what has happened in recent years. Terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York killing over 3000 people in a few short minutes. Pictures and videos of tsunamis that killed thousands. Any hurricane or typhoon has the potential for death and destruction. Chemical, biological and even nuclear threats abound. Not to mention the natural threats from tornados, earthquakes or pandemics.
What about the survivors?
The island of Manhattan was cut off from the rest of the country when all bridges and tunnels leading to it were shut down except for emergency vehicles. New Orleans was flooded for weeks after it was struck by hurricane Katrina which left thousands of people without food or water Tsunamis have struck and destroyed entire villages leaving them without food, water and electric service for days and weeks. Rescue efforts for the victims of tsunamis have been hampered by roads that were washed out to sea along with whole villages leaving the survivors without water to drink or food to eat. Entire towns have been leveled by tornadoes.
Disaster Preparedness
Naturally, these things are difficult to cope with, but if you plan ahead and prepare yourself you will be able to weather the disaster much more easily and safely. Disasters hit almost daily in some part of the world, simply turn on the nightly news if you don't believe it. Are you ready if a disaster struck your town tomorrow or next week? When a disaster strikes, it is too late to start planning what to do! Start your planning today and take action. Find out what material you need and what sort of Survival Kit will suite your needs. Emergency preparedness is not something to take lightly. It can make all the difference in your ability to survive a disaster. A survival plan and survival kits are necessary today; the day after disaster strikes is too late.

Emergency $12.99 Featuring all new material not included in the print edition, including: two deleted chapters, the contents of Neil’s Bugout Bag, a disaster survival cheat sheet on how to survive 35 catastrophic events, and ten emergency-preparedness myths that can kill you. Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. **I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes.** So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller The Game , and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game , The Dirt , and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star , Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world–and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee... |

Disaster $9.99 Based on exclusive interviews, the inside story of how America's emergency response system failed and how it remains dangerously broken When Hurricane Katrina roared ashore on the morning of August 29, 2005, federal and state officials were not prepared for the devastation it would bring--despite all the drills, exercises, and warnings. In this troubling expos of what went wrong, Christopher Cooper and Robert Block of The Wall Street Journal show that the flaws go much deeper than out-of-touch federal bureaucrats or overwhelmed local politicians. Drawing on exclusive interviews with federal, state, and local officials, Cooper and Block take readers inside the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security to reveal the inexcusable mismanagement during Hurricane Katrina--the bad decisions that were made, the facts that were ignored, the individuals who saw that the system was broken but were unable to fix it. America's top emergency response officials had long known that a calamitous hurricane was likely to hit New Orleans, but that seems to have had little effect on planning or execution. Disaster demonstrates that the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina is a wake-up call to all Americans, wherever they live, about how distressingly vulnerable we remain. Washington is ill equipped to handle large-scale emergencies, be they floods or fires, natural events or terrorist attacks, and Cooper and Block make a strong case for overhauling of the nation's emergency response system. This is a book that no American can afford to ignore. |

The Human Side of Disaster $68.94 When disaster strikes, people react, and usually, fear levels rise. Temporarily, however, one motivation supersedes all others: survival of self and those nearby, especially loved ones. Based on the author's years of research and teaching experience, The Human Side of Disaster scientifically evaluates human responses in the face of disasters. This examination informs emergency managers and response teams and teaches them how to anticipate human behaviors in-crisis. The book begins with four scenarios based on interviews and real events that introduce the human side of disaster. The stories examine how attention to, or lack of, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation affect outcomes. Each subsequent chapter refers back to the original Experiences chapter and provides insights that can be applied not only to events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods, but also to man-made threats including industrial accidents and acts of terrorism. The author explores how people's responses can be predicted, the long term effects of disaster on the psyche, and the key issues involved in recovery. A balanced interpretation of research, results, and experience, the book demonstrates how traditional warning methods and high-tech systems can work together to improve communications, evacuations, and reconstruction efforts. It highlights the role of the human element in any disaster situation and demonstrates how to use that element as part of a planned disaster response. |
