Riassunto

Never experience a disaster again—ever.

Hurricanes, wildfires, mass shootings, and pandemics are a reality for 21st century families and small businesses. But here’s the truth: Not one of these has to be a disaster.

What determines whether an unexpected event becomes a disaster is you.

In Design Any Disaster, certified emergency manager and master business continuity practitioner Patrick Hardy reveals to you the secrets of disaster preparedness that helped him build the largest and most successful small business and family disaster planning company in the world.

He explains why:

You should never, ever “remain calm” during a disaster.

99% of all disaster plans are a complete waste of time.

Fancy disaster equipment and supplies actually leave you less prepared.

Design Any Disaster is not a survival manual. It’s a revolutionary approach to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for families and small businesses that can be used whether you live in the middle of a big city, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, or in a rural county with more cows than people.

Using the powerful C3 Method Hardy uses with his clients, from Fortune 500 CEOs to average families, you will discover how to get ready (plan effectively), react (focus without panicking), respond (protect yourself and your possessions), and recover (overcome swiftly). And in a revolutionary section you will not find in any other disaster book, Hardy also reveals how to reverse disaster, converting the experience into an opportunity to become wiser and happier.

Control the disaster so that it doesn’t control you—that’s how you Design Any Disaster.
