Too many Americans lack the know-how and provisions to adequately handle even a small disaster-be it man-made or natural. Meanwhile, the image of the disaster prepper as either paranoid or actively hoping for social disruption has become commonplace. It's time to face the sad truth: the disaster preparedness movement in America has failed. In Pivot Points , experienced disaster "prepper" Paul T. Martin argues for a shift in how America views disaster preparation. Instead of their dismissing prepping as a hobby or the result of an overactive imagination, Martin challenges individuals, emergency management professionals, and community leaders to answer three vital questions: Do we need a culture of preparedness in America? What should that culture look like? How do we create that culture? Martin challenges readers to discover their "pivot points," those sources of motivation for preparing both themselves and their communities for disaster. For some, motivations might center on family safety. For others, a sense of citizenship or religious beliefs might drive their preparedness. By exploring different pivot points, we create a more resilient, inclusive culture of preparedness, transforming the reader into an advocate for public safety and creating better preparation in private and public spheres.
