The 21st Century has been a time of unparalleled disasters around the world. Tsunamis, floods and earthquakes of seemingly near-biblical proportions have struck worldwide, while the United States has been hammered by hurricanes, seen flooding take lives and been attacked by terrorists who continue to threaten our national security to this day. Since the attacks of 9/11, our elected leadership has repeatedly issued warnings for all Americans to prepare—yet most have not. Having seen the government’s failures after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, who would you rather depend on to provide for your family’s needs after a disaster? What to Do ’til the Cavalry Comes gives families a basic plan, one most anybody can live by. It is a must-read for those who wish to improve their readiness for living in 21st Century America, knowing—“When you live prepared, you’re prepared to live!”
What To Do 'til The Cavalry Comes

Preparedness: It's our responsibility and this guide shows you HOW.,
By Jersey Gyrl (The Big Apple Baby!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What to Do 'til the Cavalry Comes: A Family Guide To Preparedness in 21st Century America (Paperback)
I recently attended a preparedness seminar in Long Island, NY sponsored by Congressman Steve Israel. This book is not a guide just for hurricanes, but for most disasters possible in today's world.
The other speakers, the author, and his guide made it clear that WE as individuals and families must take responsibility for ourselves until help arrives, no matter what the situation. Nothing in the seminar, or the guide was a secret, however, this book puts the basics of being ready in a clear and concise forum and covers the needs to prepare hurricanes, floods & terrorism. It's all about us having food, water, shelter and a plan for ourselves in the event of a disaster. I found the information to be current and the checklists complete, and yes, even the author's attempts at humor....funny. I also learned about shelf-stable foods (a term I'd never heard used before) I'm ordering a couple of cases of the A-Pack MREs for my family and you should too....the samples I got were great. It's a quick and easy book to read and will be a part of my preparedness kit.

This review is from: What to Do 'til the Cavalry Comes: A Family Guide To Preparedness in 21st Century America (Paperback)
Straight forward
well researched EZ to read The book has everything: Ez to remember suggestions that explain HOW to prepare...... EXPLANATIONS on WHY I need to prepare with certain items CHECKLISTS to refer back to that are very adaptable to my family's needs The book gave me NEW INFORMATION: that removed the mysteries about radiological, chemical, biologiacl and pandemic threats. These are real threats that can be dealt with, providing you have the needs of your family met, and What To Do...shows you how to effectively and affordably met those needs. It changed my mindset from waiting to see what happens to preparing to be ready when it happens A must read if you care at all about your family...after reading this guide I now believe if I live prepared, I'll be prepared to live!

This review is from: What to Do 'til the Cavalry Comes: A Family Guide To Preparedness in 21st Century America (Paperback)
Unless you've just arrived in a hurricane or other disaster-prone area, there's nothing in this book that you can't learn from reading the newspapers as the "season" approaches. There's
a lot of "fill" about what people do wrong. I was hoping for some specialized insight, but didn't find it here.
