Download or read book How To Save Your Stuff From A Disaster written by Scott M Haskins and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included with this book is a continuing education follow up via email with preservation tips and more fun stuff from the expert and author! Discover how to protect and save your treasured family memorabilia, heirlooms, collectables, photographs, documents-letters-certificates and other cherished family history items from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, shipping and handling... and your grandkids! Complete easy, inexpensive and fun how-to instructions. Have you ever lost a cherished possession that was dear to you in an earthquake, hurricane or fire? Porcelains that broke, a book that was ruined by water or photos that were burned or blown away? What are you afraid of loosing in the next "big one"? Or has someone ever thrown away a "worthless" treasured item important to you! This book, written by Your Preservation Coach, is your manual for protecting your family's heritage. The author has been involved in a dozen "major" disasters: earthquakes (Silomar 1971, Whittier 1989 and Northridge 1994 and two in Italy), 10 fires (Santa Barbara 1990, 2008, Oakland 1993, 2 in 2009) and one flood and massive deadly mudslide (Santa Barbara 1995, 2019) and has spoken numerous time in Gulf State hurricane country. Though people loose homes, cars, toys etc., by far the items for which I hear the most crying are the things that make up a person's family history... things that cannot be replaced with insurance money. There is almost a spiritual identity that people feel for the items that help tell their story to their other family members about their parents and their ancestors. These items tell the family's legacy. I remember when Joan Rivers was talking to Dorothy Adams of Conservation Materials Ltd. about Quake Wax on QVC TV and among the hype, hustle, lights and make up (she wore a lot!!... can we talk!?) there was a moment when Joan softened and became emotional when she realized that had she used this product, she would have saved a dear ceramic keepsake from the Northridge Earthquake. She became really quite emotional about an item that was worth very little money. Why? Because it told a heartfelt story. So it is with the photos, letters and certificates, portraits and lots of other "stuff" that may be unceremoniously dropped on you after Auntie passes on (of course, there are the lucky ones that inherit something valuable too). Whether you're a collector or you're old enough to be an antique yourself, there are lots of hands on, how to instructions in this book that will help you to protect and preserve your stuff. God bless you for taking your preservation and organization project to heart. Preserving your family's treasured items that tell your story will benefit more people than just you. Acknowledged widely by disaster response experts in earthquake country, hurricane country, flooded out communities, in museums and in government offices... as the best easy-to-understand-book to discover how to protect your valuable collectibles and treasure family heirlooms before a disaster and how to save your stuff after a disaster. Widely distributed by Daughters of Utah Pioneers, FamilySearch (in fact parts of the book were used by permission in the book repair department), other online genealogy companies, art galleries, in promotions with Museum Wax, to docent councils in museums, historical organizations and Preppers. A valuable and fun part of the book, "How To Save Your Stuff From A Disaster" is the authoritative FREE continuing education program that will be sent via e-mail (requires additional sign up). This program includes practical tips, videos, articles, entertaining stories etc. This valuable feature is not available from other distributors of the book.

Download or read book Save Your Stuff in the Workplace written by Scott M. Haskins and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, in response to the Northridge Earthquake in the Los Angeles area, Scott Haskins was asked to write a pamphlet entitled "How To Respond After An Earthquake." 500,000 units were distributed to the public through the Human Resource department of The Bank of America Corporation. Following this event, he was asked to write "Save Your Stuff in the Workplace" because there was (and is) no other information available to the corporate and government world. "Save Your Stuff" fills the need for public outreach and education on the subject of Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response. There is no other resource available to provide this information and education in an entrepreneurial way. The presentation of the educational information is unique in that it translates the professional conservation/preservationese into plain public English.

Book excerpt: When in doubt, throw it out. Don't risk injury or infection. 2: Ask for help. Many people can do a lot of the cleanup and repairs discussed in this book. But if you have technical questions or do not feel comfortable doing something, get professional help. If there is a federal disaster declaration, a telephone "hotline" will often be publicized to provide information about public, private, and voluntary agency programs to help you recover from the flood. Government disaster programs are there to help you, the taxpayer. You're paying for them; check them out. 3: Floodproof. It is very likely that your home will be flooded again someday. Floodproofing means using materials and practices that will prevent or minimize flood damage in the future. Many floodproofing techniques are inexpensive or can be easily incorporated into your rebuilding program. You can save a lot of money by floodproofing as you repair and rebuild (see Step 8).

Download or read book Emergency written by Neil Strauss and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. **I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes.** So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller The Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt, and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world–and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Download or read book Disaster Guide Survival Tips That Could Save Your Life written by Steve Pease and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every disaster is unique, there is no way to predict the exact circumstances that will be part of every situation. Because of this, you need to get ready for any possibilities that could happen. There are disasters that happen every day around the world, the key to surviving a disaster is being prepared for what may happen. What does survival mean? Survival is being able to not die without the things you now have to live with in any situation where those things are no longer available. Do you know what to do and are you prepared to protect and provide for you and your family when no one else can help? These are not things we want to think about, they are not good thoughts. Not being ready, will not stop things from happening to you, you need to be ready to deal with. This book is not a book dealing with the collapse of the economy or the collapse of the government. I'm not saying that won't happen. But the things in this book to prepare for are things that happen everyday somewhere. A survivor in any situation is a person who uses stress to build them up and get them through the situation. A non survivor is someone who lets the situation tear them down and give up. When everything you know is in chaos, the ability to deal with the chaos until it is over is what you need to survive. Read through the book and do the things in the book to get prepared for the things in the book that can happen to your family. Not all places are all of these things possible, but get prepared for the ones that can happen where you are. A little preparation ahead of time will make your getting through these things much easier, and could even be the difference between life and death in some situations.
