Publisher's summary

Do you live in the city? What have you done to protect you, your family, your parents, and your pets when the earthquake, flood, fire, hurricane, or other disaster suddenly destroys your world? What is emergency preparedness anyway? Do you have any emergency food or will your kids go hungry? What will you do when the power grid is gone and with it the light, heat, and water for your home?

This emergency disaster preparedness guide can save your life. Urban Preppers with Kids, Pets & Parents goes far beyond the basic emergency preparedness handbooks and provides practical, real world advice and answers to questions such as:

  • How do I heat and light my house?
  • What food should I store?
  • How do I protect my kid with a disability?
  • How can I harden my home against burglars?
  • Where is the "hidden water" in my house?
  • What are the 37 essential food items that disappear?
  • How can I mitigate damage to my home or business?
  • What fuels are safe to use indoors unvented?
  • What about service animals?
  • What do I pack for my kids and my baby?
  • What about senior survival and wheelchairs?
  • What is isobutane and why do I need it?
  • Is freeze-dried or dehydrated food more nutritional?

  • Why may I NOT want to go to a FEMA shelter?
  • How do I plan survival for my pets?
  • What's the secret to bug out bags?
  • And much, much more...

No Content Here - Don't Waste Your Time

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

No performer could have saved this book.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Mushen again?

No.

What about Bob Dunsworth’s performance did you like?

The narrator had a pleasant voice and did what he could to help, but the book was useless.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger that the author got paid for using Copy and Paste.

Any additional comments?

For every topic raised by the author, the advice is exactly the same -- create a 72-hour kit, make a plan with your family, and hire a contractor to do any work. Maybe the title should be "Urban Prepping for People That Can't Open a Jar Without a Professional Contractor."

Website for book not maintained; book refers to it

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Overall the book was ok. A lot of the information in the book repeated in every chapter. What really upset me is that the book refers to the website a lot but the website isn't maintained and the book frequently refers to items that are no longer there.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It's not really a story but don't repeat the same information in every chapter. Publisher needs to maintain the website.

What about Bob Dunsworth’s performance did you like?

Overall the narrator was very good.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

While the information frequently repeats itself, the information provided is good.
