 Really Basic Stuff Jun 05, 2010
I purchased this book and was disappointed with the very basic information presented. There was very insight or specific detail on how to prepare for a disaster. Most were just generalities and themes like "review your home insurance policy and document your household posessions." I was hoping for more...
 Simplistic book, poor value May 21, 2010
This is a disappointing book in many regards, the most notable of which is that it has little useful information beyond the obvious. The written text itself is superficial in most areas. Illustrations look like they were drawn by a not-too-talented middle school art student. The one page Resources table, shown on page 135, contains a list of about two dozen web sites such as the Red Cross and [...] that is almost laughable; aside from various government web sites for the Centers for Disease Control and FEMA, which are listed here, there are thousands of very detailed web sites with useful information on many survival and preparedness-related topics. I would rate this book as a zero except that Amazon doesn't permit a zero ranking.

There are other books available that offer a lot better information than this. YOU could have written this book. Pass this one by.

 Basic Common Sense Feb 27, 2009
This is basically a common sense how-to survival manual. Not a book that you have to read word for word, but could be used as a basic check-off list and possibly remind you of areas that need better preparation.
Definitely something that could be used for the family to prepare for disaster without chaos.

 comprehensive and easy to read Aug 28, 2008
This was a nice light read but was still full of great information. I HIGHLY recommend it! It's a great comprehensive overview of preparedness, you could even call it a 'primer'. I found it to be a great book for someone just starting out. If you're experienced in preparedness that book may seem elementary to you but you also might find a few things you haven't thought of. It's certainly worth the investment
Another big plus with this title is that it doesn't lean heavily on one area or another like so many other preparedness books. I have about a dozen different titles and some of them lean heavily on food storage or off grid skills.
The type of information included does not get outdated. This is important to consider in preparedness books. I've seen several that were Y2K based (or other outdated concerns).
Each chapter has a section at the end telling how you can involve children in the process which I found quite useful. There is also an appendix of about a dozen forms that will come in quite useful in your preparedness process.
There are a few items that make this book worth holding onto long term as opposed to reading, assimilating the info, and passing it on.
