Product Description
by David E. Crossley (Author)
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.
