The author explains why every capable individual should take responsibility for his or her disaster preparedness, rather than rely on others, such as the local, state or federal government, to do it for them. Depending on whether a disaster is local, regional, national or global, you may be without services for a few days to many months. Regardless of the magnitude or duration of a potential emergency, this ebook will help you prepare for the worst, and help you live a more self-reliant and earth-sustaining lifestyle now. In the last chapter the author presents evidence that has led him to believe that we are on the verge of a global economic disaster unlike any that the world has ever known, and a plan is presented to help you keep and even grow your assets during such a disaster, no matter how much nor how little you have now.
