There is nothing quite like a road map or guide book when it comes to navigating new areas.  Books can be your greatest resource and save you considerable time and money because you can learn from the author’s experience.  How-to books in the field of emergency preparedness are perhaps more important than in any other field because if you do not make the right decisions in putting together your preparedness plan, you may not get a second chance.  This is one area where you do not want to make big mistakes and learn from your experience.


These are just a few books that can help you in putting into place your own preparedness plans.  From checklists of what to put into a 72-hour backpack to everything you need to know to be self sufficient on your own country property to how to help deliver a baby if there is no doctor, these books are worth their weight in gold.
