Twenty years ago, the author thought we would have to deal with the nightmare of nuclear holocaust. Mr. Stevens has updated his book, "Making the Best of Basics" to better include the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters as we have seen in the past couple of years. You CAN make an emergency plan, you CAN plan ahead for food, shelter, heating and the safety of your family; this book answers most of your questions on the 'how-to' without a panic.
