Another in this long-running series of how-to books, this guide deals with the ins and outs of preparing, surviving, and dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters. The book covers the most common disasters--floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, wildfires, earthquakes, pandemics, toxic spills--giving details on preparing a go-pack, how to give yourself the best chance of surviving, what to do during the disaster and immediately after, and how to deal with insurance companies and FEMA. (Curiously, the authors do not cover volcanic eruptions and ashfalls, which are far from unheard of in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest.) The information is thorough and easily understandable, making this book a must-have in any reference collection. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
