Crisis Preparedness Handbook Review
Now in an updated second edition, Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide To Home Storage And Physical Survival by Jack A. Spigarelli is a solid, practical, no-nonsense, but completely “user friendly” reference for the selection and acquisition of stockpiled food and water for emergencies; growing, raising, and finding food; preserving food at home by means such as home canning and dehydrating; emergency evacuation in a crisis; and other preparation safeguards for weathering a natural or man-made crisis. From clothing issues to transportation needs and communication alternatives, the Crisis Preparedness Handbook is a solid, fact-filled, potentially live saving guide, and especially recommended reading for anyone seeking to protect themselves and their loved ones in times of local, regional, national, or international calamity.
The author is very specific on figuring the amounts of each food types to store based on caloric needs of your age group and reminds you to think ahead and anticipate changes as a person or child ages. As a nurse I feel this information is critical to overall health as he includes the number of calories needed per age. He also recommends that you store a variety of foods as well as ‘treat’ foods to compensate for a change in your diet that might eliminate our fast food habits. This book will guide you in creating a pantry suited to your own family. I highly recommend this book for the details it provides in all areas of long term food storage.
I’ve had time to read select chapters of this book, and one thing is for sure, there is tons of information on being prepared in a crisis situation. I have come to the conclusion that I am not prepared at all, and I do have a Emergency Evacuation Kit. I feel that to be as prepared as this book details, you would have needed to start gathering items 20 years ago and would have spent thousands of dollars in doing so. This book is very infomative, but you will need to decide what you think your most imminent crises would be, and then tailor your kit to that. In reading this book, I feel that the things I have prepared would be very inadequate at best. All in all, I would recommend this book for a detailed list of supplies to have on the ready.
