      Today most Americans live in the city or suburbs—a safe, comfortable life, at least on the surface.

In this uniquely practical handbook, Tom Brown, Jr. gives you the specific skills and detailed knowledge you need to protect yourself and those you love in almost any emergency.

      • Protecting your home from intruders
      • Unconventional food sources for the city dweller
      • Surviving earthquakes, floods, blizzards, hurricanes, and more
      • Guarding against urban crime

      September 01, 2003: With the recent events such as 9/11 and the very recent blackout in the northeast, this book is more relevant than ever.

      July 23, 2001: This book contains many things that once read seem like common sense. Some other information in this book is not necessarily just common sense and should be known by everyone who wishes to be able to survive a disaster or unknown harmful situation. I think that this book could mean the difference between life and death for many people. We won't always have the modern conveniences we are used to(grocery stores, working water faucets, electricity, heat, etc.) in a disaster situation.
