Black presents tailor-made plans for individuals, businesses, organizations, small groups, and communities to follow, in all regions of the country and broken down by type of emergency and environment.

Editorial reviews

A drought in the United States, as disaster preparedness consultant David Black explains, usually just has economic ramifications; a drought in eastern Africa might lead to death. That is, however, no excuse not to be prepared. After 9/11, it became apparent that the times are changing, and we are more susceptible to disaster than ever. In What to Do When Shit Hits the Fan, performed by prominent Audible narrator Steve Coulter, listeners will get detailed plans and methods of response for times of crisis, whether it's terrorism, catastrophic weather, or civil unrest.

This was a free download, so I can't complain much. There were a couple of mispronounced words and the details are stale, especially after the Trump administration changes and the impact of Covid-19. This was not a waste of my time, but not good enough to recommend today.

Good exposure to the topic, but somewhat outdated

Some of the author’s information as if came from the children’s section of the library, simple common sense info. Example, a flood is excessive water. However, author did have some good helpful facts.

Nothing really new here. Just a good overview of what anyone prepping would already know.

Good basic information

This is a good overview of many aspects of disaster response. It’s only flaw is (duh) it’s an audiobook rather than hard copy. As a reference text, it is probably best printed, i.e., in a format that can be easily perused or read. That said, it covers a lot of ground and is very good.

Very good, but…

I read some.od the reviews prior to listening to this book, and was thus a bit leery of it. I found however that it was not as bad as some of the reviewers claimed. There were a few things that I would do differently, or were a bit off, but, preparing for disasters of any type is a fairly subjective activity. Generally, one size does not fit all. Sadly, there are some subjects which tend to bring out those individuals who castigated anyone not in lock step vision with themselves, such as the firearms industry, trucks, sports etc. "If it ain't *****, then it's crap!" Prepping also seems.to be one of those subjects. I don't think this book will serve you wrong. Besides, more information, even if you don't necessarily buy into all.of it, is better than less information.

Ok Prepper book.

The book felt very much like an aggregation of various government sources, first aid books, and other material with personal anecdote interspersed. The audio version was wooden and uninteresting, but the information was sound and I would recommend it for people who aren't familiar with disaster response or planning.

Basic information, but good to know

I love it! I learned so much from every chapter. Gives it to you straight forward advice. Great checklists. Must have. Great gift for friends and family. And it was free!

I love it

If your a “ government is gonna take care of me” you should listen to this book. Just the plane government facts from a author with years of government experience.
