Emergency Survival Packs--How to Prepare
72-Hour and 14-Day Family Evacuation Kits

Review

     No one is immune to emergencies! Earthquakes, fires, floods, riots, war-all these dangers can suddenly erupt, endangering lives and creating extreme hardships. Every year thousands of families across the nation are suddenly thrust into unexpected calamities, and only a few of them are prepared for the emergency. But proper preparation can mean the difference between security and severe distress if a catastrophe suddenly occurs.

     The wise family will make basic low-cost preparations for sudden catastrophes, and will carefully consider what would be done if an evacuation from home suddenly became necessary. How can families prepare? What would they need to take if they were forced to flee from their homes with only a few moments for preparation? This book has the answers! It tells how to prepare portable family emergency evacuation kits which would sustain family members for a 3-day or 14-day period if they had to suddenly leave their home.

     The needs of family members of different age groups vary greatly, and these differing needs are carefully considered in the book. In addition to a basic family-unit list, the author proposes a basic adult-member list, a list for children ages 8 to 11, a different list for children ages 4 to 7, and yet another list for children ages 0 to 3.

     Blair D. Jaynes, author of the book, has an extensive background of military training and experience which highly qualifies him to write on this subject. Emergency Survival Packs is a valuable book which can save lives and prevent much suffering. It is short, concise, and carefully devised. Truly it is a book that belongs in every home.
