A complete, step-by-step manual for safely sheltering-in-place at home so you are prepared for any disaster or disease.

If a disaster forces you to shelter in place, do you think you have everything you need to safely and comfortably stay put in your home? If the answer is no, The Disaster-Ready Home will help you create a safe, well-stocked place to weather out any emergency.

Survival expert and bestselling author Creek Stewart gives you a step-by-step emergency preparedness plan to meet your food, water, heat, and sanitation needs during any disaster. Including detailed lists, photographs, and complete instructions to make the plan easy to follow, this book is the only resource you need for a disaster.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create an emergency pantry stocked with enough food for the timeframe of your choiceβ€”from two weeks to three months to a full year
  • Select and store food that fits your taste, diet, and budget
  • Easily rotate and use your emergency food supply, so nothing goes to waste
  • Set up long-term water storage and renewable water sources
  • Cook food and boil water when your kitchen appliances aren’t working
  • Safely heat and light your home when the power is out
  • Effectively manage sanitation issues if running water is unavailable
  • And much more!

With daily headlines dominated by disease and disasters, the need to be prepared has never been more evident. This practical, field-tested guide will help you protect and provide for your family when any situation arises.
