Survival in Crisis and Disaster Situations by L. Konarek / Paperback

Survival in crisis and disaster situations

The survival knowledge of special forces - Prepared for emergencies

Everything about reasonable crisis preparedness and the necessary tools to survive possible disasters can be found in this book by the well-known survival expert.

Electricity and drinking water, shopping facilities and medical care – in our civilized world, all of this sounds like a given. It's only when these lifelines are suddenly cut off in the wake of a disaster, such as a flood, an avalanche, or a blackout, that we become painfully aware of our dependence – often too late! With a few precautions, the consequences of unexpected incidents could easily be mitigated: A battery-powered radio, non-perishable food, and sufficient bottled drinking water should be standard equipment for everyone.

Survival expert Lars Konarek goes a step further in his concise guide, "Surviving in Crises and Disasters." Beyond the aforementioned obvious points, he shows how to best prepare for major disasters—disasters that we tend to ignore but which are rightly feared by more than just pessimists—such as a nuclear power plant accident, a natural disaster, or a pandemic. He presents the sensible contents of an emergency kit, explains first aid measures, and clearly describes how to build a shelter, purify water, and obtain food when none seems to be available, as well as how to orient oneself after a disaster.

The book is aimed at laypeople interested in self-protection as well as people who deal professionally with the most obvious of all questions: How do I survive?
