We have been repeatedly warned by leading medical professionals and government health officials that a severe influenza pandemic is a very real possibility, with potential global death tolls exceeding 100 million. We are told that a pandemic will likely last 12-18 months in multiple waves, and to expect widespread social disruption. We are told that we need to stockpile non-perishable food and water, as our food supply chain and utilities may become severely degraded or completely inoperative. Yet there is little information available from them on how families can prepare for such a long term traumatic event.

This book lays out in detail the planning, preparation, and actions to take to avoid an inevitable mass scramble for suppliers' small and increasingly backlogged inventories of storable food, water storage and purification equipment, emergency lighting and communications, alternative transportation, and a host of other important necessities. The book provides planning guidelines and practical how-to for the;
  • type, quantity, and source of non-perishable food
  • techniques for collecting, storing, and purifying water
  • approaches for reliable lighting and staying informed in the event of a electrical grid collapse
  • formulas for sizing a solar PV system for backup (or everyday) power
  • ways to keep your house warm in the winter
  • measures to protect your family from public unrest
  • procedures to treat sick family members when hospitals are overwhelmed
  • approaches to simple cleaning and sanitation
  • and a host of other preparations needed for families to stay healthy and safe during a serious influenza pandemic.

    “The book is crammed with lots of very valuable information on preparing for this emergency with the focus on the needs of the family. I found it very informative and helpful for making and improving the quality of my family’s plan. This is a unique and very timely contribution to the preparedness literature that is long overdue. It is a must read and reference text for anyone who is serious about preparing their home and family for the possibility of a severe influenza pandemic.”
    -- Dr. Grattan Woodson, MD, author The Bird Flu Preparedness Planner, The Bird Flu Manual
