Overview

This is the first published disaster preparedness guidebook in Kenya, laying down well-researched disaster preparedness skills in a language that's easy for anyone to get through. With simple step-by-step instructions, it covers almost all the possible disasters one might encounter within the country, including terror attacks, carjacking, fire outbreaks, flash floods, building collapse, road carnage, conflicts and disease outbreaks. In addition, this manual contains comprehensive first aid and emergency medical guide for treating injuries or illnesses that every so often occur at home, workplace, or social places. But unlike other manuals, this guide focuses on prevention, than merely knowing how to respond to emergencies after they occur. Counseling and psychological care guidelines are all in this manual to help people cope with disaster impacts and explore ways of living satisfactorily. The content of this book is based on the experience of the Author in handling epic disasters in Kenya, making the book more realistic, Kenyanized and up to date. This is definitely the book to read if you want to stay safe and become disaster-ready!
