Overview
Let me ask you a simple question.
"What do Waco, Littleton and New Orleans all have in common?"
If you locked onto those locations, you understand what they all share.
But, if not, you might want to pay close attention to what you are about to read.
We live in a world where everything is instant. Our food, entertainment and shopping are all geared toward instant gratification. Is that a good thing?
That's a matter of interpretation depending on who you ask.
But, there is one other thing that is instant and nowhere near as popular.
That is Disaster! Whether man-made or natural, disaster can turn your world upside down on a dime!
Ask any of the survivors of the Waco explosion, Littleton shooting or New Orleans aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and they will tell you how their lives changed. . .instantly!
Unless you have a crystal ball, it's difficult to know when disaster may strike. No survivors of any disaster woke up that morning knowing that their lives would be irrevocably changed that day.
No-one has a crystal ball that sends a message of impending doom. So, what can we do without running around like Henny Penny shouting the sky is falling, or a nutcase in flowing robes calling out the end is near?
Is There Another Way?
Yes, which brings us to our author, Barry Morgan. He says, “I realized that we all must be prepared, as far as possible, to help ourselves when disaster strikes until outside assistance arrives, or in case it doesn’t!”
He's a regular guy who has written a great guide about what to do before disaster strikes. Barry says that his book informs people how to prepare their families for most dangerous events and what to do if they occur.
What Will I Learn?
Don't be fooled by the title, "The Family Prepping Guide." Barry isn't teaching (or preaching) gloom and doom, but there is nothing short-sighted about his message either.
Learn about:
- Why you should prepare
- What you really need to do
- Planning is essential
- What is more valuable than gold
- Protecting your home and family
- When disaster strikes
- Map your getaway routes
- When you lose power
- What are bug out bags
... and much more
Learn how to prep for a getaway route and make sure your drinking water is safe.
Discover how you can communicate without standard phones, radios and internet access.
Plan for the welfare of your pets during a disaster. There are definite steps to take to improve their safety and well-being.
Find out how to prepare your home for the unthinkable. Again, you must be ready. Learn how to create a safe haven right at home.

About the Author
Barry Morgan is an average person with a a family and a demanding job.
Barry is concerned that anyone anywhere may be affected by crime, terrorism or natural disasters which are all increasing almost daily.
Barry said, "I appreciate that many dedicated people in the Government are providing the best protection and support they can for us.”
“But, even when help is available, it may be too far away or under too much pressure to give any particular area sufficient, timely help.”
Barry started to research how he could help to improve the level of support and awareness for himself and in his community.
“I realized we all must be prepared, as far as possible, to help ourselves when disaster strikes until outside assistance arrives - or in case it doesn’t!”
“It’s no different to any minor accident in your home. You, or the family member, can go to the hospital or your local doctor, but the outcome is likely to be quicker and better if you have supplies in your bathroom and can take action immediately. Just giving temporary relief for the pain and cleaning up any mess will make the injured person more comfortable and may even avoid the need to get professional help.”
Many people think that disasters are just things which they see on the TV. Barry reminds them, “They can happen anywhere and there is little warning. If we are directly affected, do you want to call for help or maybe just have to call relatives and tell them,” Thanks, we’re okay. We were aware and prepared.”
Barry says that his book is to inform people how to prepare their family for most dangerous events and what to do if they occur.
“I’ve focused on events which disrupt the local community where there may be some temporary evacuation.”
“I include as much helpful advice as possible without any political comment or personal bias.”
