About this book
Readers learn how to create family plans, establish meeting points, organize contingency inventories, and interpret early-warning systems. They will also find guidance on evacuation, shelter, first aid, water purification, emergency sanitation, and the storage of essential supplies, always taking different environments and practical limitations into account.
The book addresses geological, hydrological, meteorological, biological, and technological hazards, including earthquakes, eruptions, tsunamis, floods, cyclones, tornadoes, severe storms, heat waves, and NaTech events—situations in which a natural disaster triggers technological failures. The recommendations draw on references and guidelines from institutions such as UNDRR, USGS, NOAA, FEMA, and the CDC.
With easy-to-consult checklists and protocols, this book provides a foundation for making more organized decisions under stress. It also includes strategies for redundant communication when cellular networks are unavailable, planning for people with reduced mobility, protecting companion animals, and maintaining safety during the temporary interruption of essential services.
