INSTANT SURVIVAL TIP: Preparedness Resources at your Library
If you don’t have the funds to purchase books on the topics of survival, preparedness, food storage, etc., ask for them at your public library. If they don’t have that particular title, they just might purchase and stock it. My city library has a procedure set up for purchasing requested books if the book has been published within the past year. If it is older than a year, it can be requested through inter-library loan, that is, from just about any public library in the nation.
Preparedness is a super hot topic right now, and by requesting related resource books, you’ll be helping others in your town who have the same concerns and want more information.

Thanks for reminding me! I wrote about a great resource of ebooks a while back in an Instant Survival Tip, "Free Survival Library." You can find it under the Instant Survival Tip tab at the top of this page.
The name Citizen Corps gives me the heeby jeebies, but I got a free 200 pg book ("Are You Read?: An In-Depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness") from the local county that they put out. It has information on what to do in almost any emergency, including landslides and tsunamis. Not in detail, but we can't prepare for them all in detail anyhow, and it includes resources for more information on any areas that you need. It has quizzes in the book to see if you're grasping and retaining things. Homeland Security and FEMA are in charge of all this. It has a family communications plan section, disaster supply checklists (including a reminder to keep certain items in waterproof containers). If nothing else, the price is right!
