I've read countless books and articles on the topic, so it takes a lot to impress me. This book impresses me. The author begins with discussion of why one should be prepared. It isn't about crazy doomsday-conspiracy-end-of-the-world nuttiness. Having lived through two major floods and several blizzards and ice-storms that left us without power, I can tell you the information in this book will be helpful to anyone who wants to be prepared for what Mother Nature can dish out. There is good reason to be prepared and the author presents a convincing case.The book divides preparedness into several areas of emphasis: coming up with a plan, power outages, water, food, etc. Each topic is thoroughly presented with several of links to the authors blog that give additional information and resources.A couple nit-picky comments: there are some spelling and formatting errors and typos that a good 2nd or 3rd proof-reading would have caught. But these do not detract from the quality of information in this book. At $2.99 it is a bargain you don't want to pass up.
