This is the total package of emergency preparedness bound in
a book that should be in every household. So many different scenarios of
potential disasters are covered in these pages. The book is filled with
information that would take any individual years worth of time scouring the
internet and libraries to find. Holly has put it all into a well-organized book
that you can easily have at your fingertips when the electricity is out or the
internet is down. This is a very realistic and practical book everyone needs to
own.
Holly covers food storage, how to make water drinkable, how
to find water, how to make shelters, how to properly dispose of various wastes
to keep you and your family clean and healthy and so many other factors that
when the time comes that this information is needed it will not easily be
found. Dare to Prepare will assist in
every stage of a disaster. The information provided in these pages lets you
know what you should have on hand prior to the disaster, it has additional
information that you may need during a disaster (first aid tips) and how to
safely make it on your own until life and the affected area gets back to
normal.
This book advises readers on how to begin preparing for the
unexpected. Holly goes into detail on what items are needed around a home,
items that will not be easily acquired after the unexpected disaster. She also
advises how much food and household items will be needed to carry individuals
over various amounts of time. This allows readers to accommodate their
household accordingly. She also takes into consideration the various cost
differences of many necessities to allow for individuals in different financial
situations to allot what they can afford on their budget.
From my own personal experiences I know what it is like to
be without electricity for well over a month due to a natural disaster. I also
know that grocery stores do not immediately open after the storm has passed and
that you cannot rely on help to come immediately when your area has been struck
by an unexpected disaster. I wish I would have had this book on hand when I
lived on the Mississippi coast in August of 2005. The resources in this book
are priceless.
