Product Description
Review
Kathy Harrison's "Just in Case" is an ideal preparedness guide for families. It is a must for the bookshelf of anyone that is serious about being prepared for emergencies. - James Wesley Rawles, Editor of www.SurvivalBlog.com, and author of "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse"
Product Description
Author Kathy Harrison guides readers through the empowering process of setting up such a home system with her OAR method - Organize existing supplies, Acquire additional necessities, Rotate everything for freshness. Her comprehensive coverage of emergency preparedness includes food storage, alternative heating sources, personal supplies for every family member, entertainment ideas, toiletry and proper clothing, pet supplies, emergency family communication plans, and neighbourhood cooperatives.In addition to preparing the home for extended periods without electricity, Harrison also discusses evacuation plans - where to go, how to meet up with family, what to pack, and how best to protect all that's being left behind. Self-sufficiency at home or in a temporary safe haven takes away much of the fear and helplessness associated with disasters. "Just in Case" puts the power back in the hands of individuals who are equipped and ready to take over when public services fail.Disasters can strike an entire region or a single unlucky family. They can be brought on by weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, severe heat or cold, landslides) or by man (terrorism, acts of war, simple human error). Whatever the cause, these catastrophic events have the potential to disrupt routines and cost money and lives. Why not be one of the prepared few? Just in case...

Format:Paperback
This book is a very interesting read that allows the reader to prepare for, at least on the most part, any eventuality. The methods in it are practical and easy to follow - they really illustrate how unprepared I am! With this book I can keep a little more peace of mind when the weather leaves us with harsher conditions.

The book was much better than I expected it to be...after reading a sample version I did buy it and was not disappointed. the book does describe and list examples of list to a useful level of detail, while other books remain fairly generic. I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in how to store different food types, why to store them and what to do with them...the section of how to create a general folder for all kinds of emergencies and crisis and what's important, again very useful and interesting. Well worth the few pounds...

Amongst much dross, this book stands out for its practical and implementable approach. If to buy just one book on the topic, suggest strongly that this be it. One of other reviews suggests a bit "mumsy" and US-centric and in part that is true: however neither aspects detracts from its value and 'most all of what it says may be applied with ease in UK. Recipes seem well thought out, though I have not tried them and they have a US style to them, both as to variety of ingredients and the choice of ingredients: still, nothing here that a halfway competent person can not deal with.

basic preparedness
A reasonable book for the money. Though it contains some useful tips, it is very much a US centric publication which has lesser relevance for a UK audience. Mumsy survivalism !
