Whether you are isolated by a heavy snow fall or flood, cut off from mains supplies by fallen power lines and burst water pipes, unable to get essential supplies because of fuel shortages or a financial crisis, confined to home by a pandemic or terrorist bomb, or forced to flee by imminent disaster, the only people you can rely on for your survival are you and yours. In this book David leads you through all the preparations you need to make and measures you will need to take to care for yourself, your family and even your pets whether the situation lasts for hours or months. Based on over 30 years of professional experience, the information is provided in a practical but very readable way and although it is applicable to most places in the world, unlike most of the genre it written with a British and European readership very much in mind. If you want to be prepared, this is the book you need to read.
