5.0 out of 5 stars Dont Pay Attention to the Two People Ranked this Book Low!!!, May 17, 1999

This review is from: Whatcha Gonna Do If the Grid Goes Down? Preparing Your Household For the Year 2000 (Spiral-bound)

I was just browsing through the libary and saw this book. At first I wasn't going to touch it, but I was reminded of the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover" (which in this case is soooooooo true!) and pick it up. From the second I started reading it, I was in awe!! This book is absolutly perfect for anyone who, like the book says, thinks there is even a 5% chance of something happening! It does not discuss what the Millenium Bug is, and I'm fine with that, I've heard enough of that! However, it does go over what you should do and have if anything should happen.(Be it the Millenium Bug or any disaster!) It's full of charts and lists other sources as well as internet sites.ABSOLUTLY A MUST FOR ANYONE WORRIED ABOUT ANY DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally!!! A no-nonsense, practical preparation book. "Whatcha Gonna Do.." is a must for any household that wants to be prepared for natural disasters, long periods of un-employment, or disruptive and extreme weather conditions. Even if I were not concerned about the Y2K issue, I would recommend this book/manual to anyone. I could not put it down!

Living on the Gulf Coast, I spend much time, money and effort preparing my annual "hurricane pantry". Nevertheless, I have never had a plan as comprehensive as the one set forth in this book. Thanks to this publication I now have a workable plan of action that will carry my family through the next hurricane season as well as the Y2k crisis.

Since we don't know what's going to happen come January 1, 2000, better safe than sorry is a reasonable policy. A lot of other books are focusing on WHAT MIGHT happen. This one tells you how to be READY for whatever happens. For those of us near fault lines, it takes earthquake preparedness the logical next few steps.
