SURVIVE! The Disaster, Crisis and Emergency Handbook hits the mark better than anything I’ve read in forty years. I could not put it down! Realistic and complete yet an easy read, as usual Ahern cuts through political correctness and urban myths to tell the truth in an entertaining and educational master piece.
This not only is a life altering book, it is a life preserving work of art. For forty years I have been frustrated with half-hearted, undocumented efforts on this subject that have done little more than promote fear and failure and set our citizens up for failure and probable death if it was ever necessary to implement their suggestions. Jerry Ahern has created a comprehensive, concise guide for individual, family and community response to circumstances that can occur, and some that already have occurred; Jerry has done the research and testing of products that I can use to protect myself and my family when the unthinkable becomes reality. This should be required reading for every member of the U.S. Military, law enforcement and first responders and publicly distributed by the Department of Homeland Security.
