I'll be keeping this one in my glove compartment." - Luis Perez "This book is full of great material. What I especially liked was unlike TV shows like Doomsday Preppers or other sites that recommend moving out to the boondocks and loading up on ammunition, this book was very practical with its suggestions. The author realizes that the vast majority of people don't want to go full out "prepper," but instead want a simple and gradual list of things to do to better prepare for a city-wide disaster. If that's what you're looking for, you should check out the book." - Wendy Selig "As a Los Angeles resident, this book was exactly what I was looking for.

This guide did a great job in helping me figure out what to do when my kids are in school, how to avoid deadlock traffic during an evacuation, and what to use in my bug-out bag. I highly recommend it." - Jamie Lee Buy the book today and be prepared for any disaster.
