Discussion on book "One Second After"


On Food Storage Made Easy http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/, they are having a group discussion about the book "One Second After", by William R. Forstchen.

I read this book last year, and it changed my life. I look at food storage and other emergency preparedness in a completely different way now. Depending on the disaster, we may be struggling to survive for a very, very long time without the modern conveniences to which we are accustomed.

This book is a fictional account of an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) attack. Lest you say "Oh, our enemies will never do that to us", you also have to take into account the fact that this phenomenon can also be caused by large solar flares.

Go to Food Storage Made Easy and read through the comments of the people who have read the book. The comments are fascinating, and really open your eyes to scenarios you may not have considered.

The discussions so far are on 8 topics:

Family Plan and Communications
Actions to take immediately after an attack
Transportation
Food Preparation
Heating and Cooling
Protecting Family and Food
Storing non-food items and medications
Rebuilding Society.
