The Emergency Survival Manual

Assess. Respond. Protect. From break-ins to basement flooding to broken bones, in The Emergency Survival Manual you’ll find everything you need to be prepared for any emergency that comes your way.

Who’s better suited to write a book about handling emergencies than an Emergency and Risk Management Consultant and the CEO of Mutual Aid Response Services (MARS)? Joseph Pred is the go-to-guy for assessing and handling emergencies—and a former Emergency Services manager for Burning Man.  When you combine his knowledge with that of the experts at Outdoor Life magazine what do you get? An epic book filled with lifesaving skills, from assessing an emergency to handling a house fire to splinting a limb to surviving a tsunami. This book also covers what to do before the first responders arrive…or if they never do, as well as more everyday first-aid assistance. 

When disaster strikes you want to be ready, and you can be with The Emergency Survival Manual. With high-quality design, intricate detail, and a new, portable, paperback format, this manual is the perfect gift!

Joseph Pred is a trained EMT, hazardous materials technician, and disaster-management specialist whose expertise also encompasses public health, risk management, and fire safety. He was the head of all public safety and emergency services for the annual Burning Man festival for 18 years, an ongoing experiment in community and outdoor survival in a harsh desert environment.
