Beyond 72 Hours - By John Hill
Beyond 72 Hours: How to Prepare for a Disaster and Stuff You Need to Know after a Disaster. A comprehensive, practical and sane strategy for preparing for and surviving any disaster. Many internet resources are referenced for additional information on emergency medicine and first aid training, emergency communications training, and general preparedness training. Preparedness does not mean living in fear or wasting money and resources on stuff that you never use. Anyone can live a more secure life through forethought and planning. In uncertain times, a solid preparedness plan is essential for every individual and family. When unexpected disasters happen, people who are even a little prepared are much better off than those who have taken their dependence on outside resources for granted.
