{ "item_title" : "Survive Anything", "item_author" : [" Samuel Glover "], "item_description" : "Heat waves do not kill on the hot afternoon. They kill on the third and fourth night.This is an emergency preparedness and disaster survival guide for adults who want to know what actually works when extreme weather hits, the power is out, and help is days away. It takes U.S. military survival doctrine, FEMA engineering standards, and the protocols professional rescue teams use, and turns them into clear decisions a household can make before and during the event.A car stranded in a winter storm is survivable, yet people leave it and die outside. The garage door is the weakest wall of a house in a hurricane, and almost nobody reinforces it. Homes in a wildfire are not burned down, they are ignited by embers. Each is a mistake this book is built to prevent.What it covers, disaster by disaster- Extreme heat and desert conditions. Catching heat stroke before it turns fatal, cooling first, and the daily water limit that stops hydration from becoming its own emergency.- Extreme cold, winter storms, and avalanches. Hypothermia and frostbite, snow shelters that hold heat without carbon monoxide risk, and the fifteen-minute window for avalanche rescue.- Floods, flash floods, and tsunamis. Why the car is a trap in moving water, how to read swiftwater, and how to pick the building that puts you above a tsunami.- Hurricanes and tornadoes. What wind does to a house, the window myth that will not die, and FEMA and ICC 500 safe room standards built to stop a 15-pound 2x4 at 100 mph.- Wildfires and volcanic ash. Defending the home ignition zone, escape routes, ash loads that collapse roofs, and keeping a vehicle running through ashfall.- Earthquakes and building collapse. Search and rescue basics, structural triage, and the crush injury that can turn a rescue fatal.- After the disaster. Safe water, oral rehydration, sanitation, mold, and generator carbon monoxide, the causes of the second wave of deaths.First, the part most survival books skip. Three chapters on how the mind fails under stress, normalcy bias, and the decision habits that keep you functioning when your heart rate passes 145 bpm. Then family communication plans, evacuation kits light enough to carry, and caches.Does it cover my disaster? Heat waves, winter storms, avalanches, floods, flash floods, swiftwater, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic ash, earthquakes, structural collapse, and post-disaster disease. Do I need to buy gear first? No. The planning, communication, and decision chapters run on what is already in your home.Who this is for. Families and homeowners in hurricane, tornado, flood, wildfire, and earthquake country. Preppers who want published standards instead of internet folklore. Anyone who wants one natural disaster safety handbook on the shelf instead of a different book for every hazard.Twenty-three chapters. Eight parts. Every protocol tied to a number, a published standard, or a documented event.The storm does not care whether you are ready. Be ready anyway.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/974/9798189748530_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
