preparation

Is it hurricane season where you live? Are you experiencing unusual rains? Did a family member become very ill? These are all situations in which families need to be ready. Being prepared doesn’t mean a bunker in the mountains. Each of us can make the necessary plans for any situation without major expense. Those of us who live in cities or suburban neighborhoods wonder if it’s even possible to have extra food, water, and emergency electricity.

Family Preparedness in the City and Suburbia gives ideas for storing a little extra food, saving water, even how to set up backup power while living in an apartment. Based on real-life experience, Susan K. Stewart gives what has worked for her family and others. In addition, the book includes lists of resources and forms to help you on your adventure to be ready.
