The Prepared Home: How to Stock, Organize, and Edit Your Home to Thrie in Comfort, Safety, and Style

 

Shirley J.          Adult Non-Fiction        Disaster Preparedness so you can stay in your home during crises

The Prepared Home: How to Stock, Organize, and Edit Your Home to Thrive in Comfort, Safety, and Style by Melissa George    176 pages

Excellent, easy to understand and follow tips on how to organize and stock supplies, tools, food, etc. so that in the event of a crisis (earthquake, tornado, hurricane, fire, etc.) you would be able to survive comfortably in your home.   She has tips for stocking up for a few days, 10 days and even several days in the event that a calamity occurs and your family wants to hunker down and stay at home.   She offers suggestions for what materials you might need to board up windows, how to and what to pack in backpacks ahead of time so that in the event you would have to evacuate your home, you would have useful items and enough food and water to keep you alive for however many days.  She insists on adding things that make you happy to keep things seeming as normal and comfortable as possible (ie. nice smelling soaps/candles, etc.   A very good book on how to be ready for most any natural disaster while still keeping the comfort of home and not having your house feel like a bunker while still stockpiling every thing you will need for months if need be.   I recommend this one to mature teens and adults who want to be sure their families are well set in the event chaos hits outside so you can be cool, calm and collected inside.  Good book.
