COPY ISBN
NBC senior medical correspondent Torres (a former Air Force pilot, ER doctor, and trauma specialist) offers a guide to surviving wildfires, floods, tornadoes, pandemics, elevator mishaps, dirty bombs, and other disasters. Cheat sheets, checklists, and a resource section are mixed with how-to advice for treating burns and telling which way is up when buried by an avalanche (drool from your mouth will run downward).
VERDICT Succinct advice best read in advance of need, for awareness and prevention. Information on stroke warning signs, go bags, and evacuation plans could save time and even lives.
