Hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, sandstorms, blizzards, tsunamis--these are the many disasters that people face around the world. Often, a little knowledge is what separates survivors and victims. This attention-grabbing volume is crammed with lifesaving content for all readers, and not only methods of surviving major disasters but also events such as broken bones. First-aid techniques, the Heimlich maneuver, and CPR are included in this helpful guide. The high-interest content is well organized and easy to navigate. Each valuable section of information is accompanied by beneficial diagrams, illustrations, and photographs.
