Disaster preparedness book

I have been looking for a good disaster preparedness book along with a good refresher on basic first aid so I was happy to see one show up in the mail to Glenn. The book was entitled IT'S A DISASTER! ...and what are YOU gonna do about it? (5th Edition) and was written by Bill & Janet Liebsch.

It's a small concise manual that asks the question "Is your family or business really prepared for a disaster or emergency?" It touts information on protecting your family and property from natural disasters and nuclear threats, how to reduce infectious diseases, make an emergency plan with tips that include special ones for kids and the elderly, how to assemble "Grab & Go" kits for your home, car and office, and how to apply basic first aid.

Luckily for me, it reads like a very straight-forward manual with very clear sections with lists to check off for each type of kit etc. It looks like a good book to include in your reading if you want to prepare for various types of disasters.
