How prepared are you? There are little emergencies: a power outage lasting hours, a broken water main dries up your faucets for days or a storm rolls in, trees fall everywhere and neighborhood roads close.
Then there’s bigger ones: A wildfire engulfs your town, an earthquake shakes your entire region causing all the utilities to fail, a hurricane dumps enough water to float houses down the street.
We all know these are increasingly plausible scenarios but the task of preparing for them seems overwhelming. Chris Begley and Amy Edelman provide common sense tactics to get through disasters in their book The Emergency Playbook. With an emphasis on positive thinking and community organizing they show how you can be ready for just about anything.
