Built on the guidance of NWS, FEMA (P-361), ICC 500, Ready.gov and the Red Cross, so you can confirm any of it yourself.
A calm plan you can do over a weekend. No hype, no promises about outcomes, and no fear used to sell.
Backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Read it, and if it's not for you, you get every cent back.
This is a brand-new first edition. As readers send in their reviews, this is where they'll appear.
Yes, that's what the manual is built around. Book One has a full chapter on a home without a basement and how to choose and prepare your interior room, plus chapters for apartments, upper floors and rentals.
There is a dedicated chapter, "Why you need a Plan B," because mobile homes are not safe places during a tornado. It shows you how to plan where to go, ahead of time.
Pieces of it are, scattered across many sites. What you're paying for is the order: what to do first, what to skip, and everything in one place, with sources named, ready to print and keep on the shelf.
Not necessarily. Part III helps you decide whether you really need one, explains the standards (FEMA P-361, ICC 500), what each type costs and who helps pay, and how to avoid scams.
The plan is built to be done by one person at the kitchen table. Large-print pages are included, and where a step needs a professional, the manual says so.
A PDF you can read on a phone, tablet or computer, or print at home. You get access right after your purchase, along with the bonuses.
No. It is general educational information. When a warning is issued for your location, follow the instructions of the National Weather Service and your local officials.
Email within 7 days of your purchase and you'll get a full refund.
A calm plan, a few simple supplies, and the confidence of knowing where to go. That's the whole manual.
