A comprehensive, commonsense guide to preparing for and surviving emergency situations, from wildfires, flash floods, and extreme heat to power outages, social unrest, and the next pandemic--no bunkers or weapons required. Unlike traditional prepper books that focus on doom and the darker side of survival, what most of us really need is a straightforward guide to getting through a disaster safely and with our mental health intact. Because chances are you or someone you know has been affected by one of the many extreme weather events and their aftermath in the last few years—not to mention the pandemic. In The Emergency Playbook, author Amy Edelman and survival expert Chris Begley help you—and your family, friends, neighbors, and pets—get through a range of bad situations safely, and then rebuild afterwards, no matter where you live or what your circumstances. With step-by-step checklists and plentiful tips, this fact-filled handbook prepares you for disrupted access to food and clean water, lengthy power outages, downed communication, housing loss, and much more. It also emphasizes the importance of positive thinking and community-building—because when disaster strikes, we'll have to lean on each other and work together. Featuring instructions on packing a go-bag, storing food and water in small spaces, and useful skills to learn ahead of time (first aid, self-defense), The Emergency Playbook is the practical guide you need to read before things go sideways.

Reviewed by Hailey PetersonImagine a news warning flashing across your screen on a hot summer day informing you that an emergency is afoot. Would you know what to do? Do you know how to survive a hurricane? A tornado? Wildfire? Flooding? Fallout? Economic collapse? I have been through two of these emergencies (flooding and tornado) and quite honestly I was NOT prepared in the slightest. The flooding was by far the most stressful situation I have ever faced because it happened so quickly and the damage was catastrophic. We ended up losing our house because we could not keep up after the damage. I think back and wonder, would the situation be different if I was prepared? After reading The Emergency Playbook by Amy Edelman, I can admit that I was definitely not prepared; I'm not prepared for any disaster that can strike. Edelman emphasizes that the disasters you see in movies are not realistic and won't be seen to that extent but we should be prepared for the things that can happen. Her guidebook was interesting and guided you through different disasters as well as food gathering, shelter, finding water, and different communication methods. It is a great book to have on hand when disaster strikes. She also emphasized how you don't need to stock up on supplies in a panic. It is better to think rational than irrational. I really appreciated how she said that during emergency situations people do not usually become violent because we have a natural instinct to help when needed. People have a tendency to come together rather than drift apart (there are exceptions). I loved this book and thought it was extremely informative. I am tempted to buy it just to have it on hand when an emergency strikes. As my favorite YouTuber says ,"don't be scared be prepared." It is not a long read so definitely take the time to prepare yourself. I loved how easy this book was to read and it really did take you step by step through it all. We won't be facing zombies any time soon but the Earth is warming and that can cause serious problems. I give this book 5 stars. #climatechange #books #readingrecommendation #sorrymyscheduleisbooked #disasterprep
