Prepare (& Survive): The New Zealand guide to getting yourself though emergency events by Stephen Barnett

If disaster strikes, you need to know what to do if there is a storm, earthquake, volcanic eruption, mudslide, wildfire or flood, and this guide takes you through a variety of scenarios, the importance of being prepared, and what to do in the event of an emergency.

While Civil Defence Emergency Management and other emergency services will be responding to an event, they can’t reach everyone straight away. So it is important you know what to do if you don’t have basic services like gas, electricity, drinking water, a flushing toilet or a working phone.

This book outlines how to build a toilet in your backyard, how to treat contaminated water and how to stock your emergency pantry – all things that could make the difference for your family’s survival. All the advice is clear, practical, and easy to follow.

The cover of this handy book is fittingly high-res, so it’s a great book to have with your emergency supplies.
