When Disaster Strikes, Will You Be Ready? Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Floods, Winter Storms, Excessive Heat, the list goes on and on... Are you prepared for the worst? "At Ground Zero" will guide you through the basic concepts of disaster preparedness and emergency planning. The book is a comprehensive "all hazards" guide presenting information on the history of disasters and disaster response. You'll learn what to expect if a disaster strikes, how to develop an emergency plan, how to make an emergency kit, how to lessen the dangers of natural hazards (severe weather events), disease outbreaks and man-made threats as well as general safety tips to prevent common home emergencies. As we've seen with recent events, hospitals, roads, communications and government infrastructure may not be there for you when disaster strikes. You, and only you are responsible for your well-being. Responders may not be able to help you...Will you be prepared to sustain yourself when it happens to you? "At Ground Zero" is based on the concept of "it's not a matter of if disaster will strike, but when". Everyone should be thinking about emergency preparedness. This is a "must have" book for every home or small business.
