In this Third Edition of our Preparedness Guide, we aim to give the everyday urbanite/suburbanite a starting point to build a buffer of safety and security in the face of a disaster situation. We firmly believe resilience is built through knowledge and preparation. Disaster preparedness is only as complicated as you make it, therefore there is little reason why anyone living in urban environments (including apartments and condos) cannot implement effective measures to mitigate localized disasters. Many of the basics should already be in your home. With the appropriate supplies, knowledge and an effective plan in place, you need only organize yourself so as to have them readily available should something happen. From personal survival, supply staging, security, checklists and strategies, the True North Tradecraft Disaster Preparedness Guide (3rd Edition) will give you a robust starting point to develop your own preparedness plan as well as spark new ideas to those who are already well prepared.
