Preparing for the Worst details the best practices in antiterrorism tactics and preparing for disaster. This book is for typical American families, business travelers, corporate executive management personnel, emergency first responders, school administrators, and local government officials responsible for public safety and emergency management. Americans are regularly bombarded with reports of disaster and tragedy in the daily news. Catastrophes like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, violent crimes, and terrorism are so common and routine that many of us have become numb to the stories. Without a heightened awareness, focused concern, and effective planning, we have lost the edge that can save lives. Do you know what you should do to protect your family during a disaster? Does your neighbor have the knowledge required to survive a catastrophic event? Part of the solution is rooted in common sense, but much more depends upon effectively applying learned survival skills. Americans need a helpful reference tool-a Swiss army knife for handling today's threats. This book is that tool. A former U.S. Marine and Desert Storm veteran, Schaefer-Jones has experienced calamity firsthand. He is also a concerned husband and the father of three young children. While considering how he would personally handle a disastrous event close to home, he came to realize that a comprehensive how-to guide was not available-until now.
James Jones served as Bishop of Hull (1994-98), Bishop of Liverpool (1998-2013), and Bishop to HM Prisons (2007-2013). He was appointed KBE in 2017 for services to the bereaved and to justice. He chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel in 2009, the Independent Forestry Panel in 2012 and the Gosport Independent Panel in 2018. Bishop James is the author of With My Whole Heart and Jesus and the Earth (SPCK, 2012 and 2003 respectively).
