It Is A Disaster And What Are You Gonna Do About It

The entire manual was reorganized so the information flows easier for consumers.  Section 1 now has all Family information, checklists, Emergency Plan templates, and suggestions for Kits (both Disaster Kits to "grab and go" during a disaster situation and First Aid Kits). Section 2 now contains all disaster topics (from Avalanches to Winter Storms) but all BEFORE tips are 2-color format like DURING and AFTER tips in previous Editions. Some other additions include Air Quality Mitigation (i.e. tips on carbon monoxide, mold & radon), Household Chemical emergencies, Safford-Simpson Scale with storm surge data (for hurricanes), Fujita Scale (for tornadoes), plus many others.  Section 3 has all Basic First Aid tips now (from Bites & Stings to Strokes) along with some new topics like West Nile, ticks, and SARs.  Section 4 still contains American and Canadian Red Cross information plus U.S. and Canadian Federal, Provincial, and State Emergency Contact information for citizens.  There are also many new "Additional Resources & Web sites" with some specific ones flagged for Educators, Schools, & Kids.
