For Americans that live in heavily populated cities, prepping for a grid-down situation requires approaches tailored to that environment, and we deal with those approaches in our fourth guide. Since government agencies will be overwhelmed and unable to help everyone in need during a grid-down situation, it is extremely important for you to plan to take care of yourself and your loved ones on your own when disaster strikes. In this book, we help you identify environmental cues that will alert you early that problems are imminent. We cover setting up defenses, acquiring weapons, collecting water, and practicing situational awareness, so you can better your chances for survival in a natural disaster or attack. This book also covers extraction possibilities, map reading, and fallback locations and is a great place to start your preparations for grid-down survival in an urban area.
