-How will your family stay warm, fed, and sheltered during a power outage?
-Do you have an evacuation plan if you are forced to leave your home?
Disaster can strike at any time. Be one of the prepared few by following Kathy Harrison's practical plan for emergency self-sufficiency. Learn how to evaluate, organize, and rotate your food supply; pack an evacuation kit; protect important documents from fire; develop a communications system; make nutritious soup with canned and dried pantry items; and entertain the kids for several television-free days. Everything you need to know to survive when public services fail is covered in this essential guide to family preparedness.
Keep a cool head and plan well; your family will be able to settle in, stay warm, and eat well when the unexpected happens.
