There are chapters dealing with specific disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, earthquakes, blizzards, pandemics (with a great deal of information about H1N1 specifically), and chemical spills, but the most important message of the book is that all disasters are the same. Disasters disrupt the processes of your life and, while there are specific preparation issues with, say, hurricanes versus wildfires versus earthquakes, all of them disrupt your life and all of them require many of the same preparations: you have to have a Go-Pak, you have to have 72 hours of food and water and a couple weeks of meds, and so on.
In addition to the information on home disaster preparedness, there's a lot of information on how businesses can prepare for disasters and recover from them. You'll see how to create an effective disaster plan and find out how to get your employees to return to the office and help maintain your business.
Go buy copies for everyone you know!

Congratulations again, John! Can't wait to add it to my library -- and make my GoPak. Hopefully there's info on prepping for your pet(s) to go with you.....I couldn't believe that you of all people would forget the wee folk in our life :-)
Oh, absolutely!! Pets are featured prominently, including how to carry them with you, what you'll be expected to do in a shelter, feeding, and all the rest.
