Urban Survival (Again)

Its been a few weeks since we met to discuss the book Urban Survival Guide, but I wanted to add some of my thoughts to those that Emma wrote about it. Getting prepared for possible problems can be overwhelming. It can also feel scary because it means acknowledging that bad things can happen and that we are not always in control. (Darn it!) Although scary to consider at first, being prepared brings a measure of peace about the future. Certainly, I cannot be prepared for every single possibility. But I can cover some basics. There are so many resources out there, and any one of them can help you begin to prepare. I think where the Urban Survival Guide really excels is in giving you a plan, including small steps you can take today. It is a starting point with clear explanations for what you should get and what you need. It is broken up week by week, so you can focus on one area at a time.
