Prepare to Survive Pandemics & Other Threats

The pandemic took us by complete surprise. Many of us had heard about the pandemics of previous centuries, but never truly believed that we could actually face such a threat. We never imagined that a pathogen could spread throughout the world with such speed and ease, and that the effect on our day-to-day lives could be so profound. From having to remain isolated within our homes, to facing shortages of essential supplies and having to contend with long lines at grocery stores. We were appalled as we saw many businesses shut down, large numbers of jobs being lost and the world economy dramatically affected. When the pandemic came upon us, many of us had not completely gotten over the anxiety caused by other shocking events in recent history, such as the terrorist attack of 9-11-2001, and the extreme weather events that have taken a heavy toll on so many lives. If a natural disaster, terrorist attack or financial meltdown were to happen, are you prepared to survive? By reading this book you will learn essential skills and gain indispensable knowledge for maximizing your chances of survival if a threat to your health and safety were to arise. This book is a "must read" if recent events have caused you to: Feel more vulnerable and concerned about your safety; Realize that food and supplies may not always be in stores when you need it; Place less trust in "the system"; Think about taking measures to ensure your survival. If a severe pandemic caused the food supply chain to break down and food shortages to occur, or if a serious crisis forced you to stay indoors to protect yourself for a long period of time, would you have enough food and supplies stored in your home to survive? In this book you will learn about: Creating a stockpile of food and water to have in your home to protect you from shortages and enable you to stay safe indoors if necessary; The optimal equipment to have for survival preparedness; The right survival supplies to keep in your home; Choosing emergency kits and survival kits for survival preparation. If a disaster or terrorist attack forced you to evacuate your home, would you have a safe place to go and essential supplies packed and ready, to ensure your survival? This book shows how to: Create a get-away pack (also called a go-bag or bug-out bag), stocked with supplies that would be essential for your survival (if you had to quickly leave your home in a crisis); Prepare an alternate survival location to provide you with a safe place to go if you ever had to evacuate your home. This book also reveals: How the systems and services we depend on could fail and place our lives in jeopardy; How to assess your survival strengths and weaknesses; What various levels of survival preparedness require and entail. The systems and services we all depend on for our health and survival are actually more fragile and vulnerable than many of us have believed. Most of us have insurance for our health, home and automobiles, but how many of us make common sense preparations to protect ourselves and our families from unforeseen events that could threaten our lives? Doesn't it make sense to also make preparations for ensuring our own survival? By reading this book you will learn how to make survival preparations to protect yourself and family in case the supplies and services that you depend on for your health and sustenance ever became unavailable for an extended period of time.
