Overview

The last 75 years of relative peace is a cultural abnormality. The focus of this book begins with the events that have the highest likelihood of occurring in your daily life under current circumstances: house fire, financial distress, and crime. Then it moves on to what many today are considering our inevitable future: civil unrest, and gray zone warfare. The secondary effects of these are addressed in detail, including shelter, food, water, energy, security, communication, medical and sanitation with the understanding that most people live in an urban environment with no realistic plans of heading to the mountains when a crisis comes. Using a series of contemporary disasters as an example this book will give you a practical step-by-step plan to increase your preparedness for disruptions, give you the tools to gather and analyze intelligence, and recognize when others are attempting to manipulate you.
