(More customer reviews)This book covers alot of the basics for small scale preparation for disasters. It covers simple things like turning off the gas supply to your house. It also gives you a good idea of the tools you should have on hand before the disaster strikes. It is not the end all, be all of disaster response manuals, but is very good for the individual, family, or small community.
