    About this ebook

    Do you know what to do in an emergency? If a natural disaster occurred tomorrow, would you be ready? The importance of emergency preparedness just can’t be underestimated. Emergencies, such as natural or man-made disasters can occur at a moment’s notice. Are you prepared?

    While you’ve probably seen plenty of resources on preparing for an emergency, most survival guides don’t take into account the special challenges that apartment and condo dwellers face when it comes to emergency preparedness. Interestingly enough, the majority of Americans today actually live in urban areas that are heavily populated. This results in a large part of the population living in condo and apartment buildings and complexes.

    Those who rent apartments or condos are at least as likely as homeowners to go through an emergency situation or disaster. This means that survival preparedness is essential, although it has to be approached in different way. Living in a condo or apartment brings with it some big challenges that can be difficult to overcome, even by survivalists with a lot of experience.

    This book is written to help you overcome those special challenges and to better prepare yourself and family for the disasters and emergencies that might come your way.

      INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF EMERGENCY PREPARATION AND SURVIVAL

      Do you know what to do in an emergency? If a natural disaster occurred tomorrow, would you be ready? The importance of emergency preparedness just can’t be underestimated. Emergencies, such as natural or man-made disasters can occur at a moment’s notice. Are you prepared?

      Emergencies Really Happen!

      First, it’s important to realize that emergencies are the real deal. Many people spend their lives failing to prepare for survival because they don’t think they’ll ever encounter an emergency. However, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, each year thousands of people have their lives interrupted by a disaster. The chaos that comes with these disasters can lead to loss of belongings, property damage, physical harm and sometimes even the destruction of a dwelling.

      What is Emergency Preparedness and Why is It Important?

      Simply defined, emergency preparedness is taking action to prepare for the survival of emergencies before they occur. The main objective of preparation is to ensure that your decision making during emergencies is simplified – you know exactly what to do and how to act. It’s essential to be prepared for the emergency before it ever occurs.

      No matter where you live in the world, natural and other disasters are very real. Disasters are simply a reality. It’s traumatic to go through a disaster, but it becomes even more difficult if you are unprepared. Preparing for disasters and emergencies can offer you some helpful benefits. The following are a few of the benefits that come with being prepared:
