A pocket-sized survival field guide for the emergencies most likely to affect you and your family. Covers power outages, water failures, supply chain disruptions, communication blackouts, medical emergencies, and natural disasters. Organized in three parts - Before (prepare now), During (crisis response), and After (long-term survival) - every chapter follows the same scannable format: the situation, what to do now, gear lists, pro tips, and mistakes that kill. Includes master checklists for four preparedness levels and quick-reference scenario cards for seven crisis types. At 87 pages and 5x8 inches, this book fits in a backpack, a glove box, or a go-bag. No filler, no paranoia, just what works.
