The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Disaster Preparedness
by: Dr. Maurice A. Ramirez
Summary:
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Disaster Preparedness sets out a generic plan for dealing with disasters, based on the concept that all of these events share many of the same basic challenges.
Sources:
The information in this book comes primarily from the author’s background in Disaster Medicine and personal experiences.
Depth:
The first part of the book makes the case for disaster preparedness being a good idea and then goes over the basics of being prepared. The author then spends seven chapters covering floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, blizzards, pandemics and toxic spills. The last section of the text deals with disaster recovery and has some simple checklists for putting together a basic emergency kit and general ideas on what to do before, during and after a disaster. As the title would suggest, most of the information provided is broad in scope and basic in content.
Overall:
The chapter on Pandemics has excellent information on the limits of our medical system when dealing with large scale disasters, such as the outbreak of a new type of flu="more-231">xer a de type tyhe tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, blizzards, pandemics and toxic spills.
