JUST IN CASE: HOW TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT WHEN THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS
Book ID/图书代码： 12405011B44061
English Summary/英文概要： When the power fails, prepared families settle in, stay warm, and eat well. With careful planning, organization, and a detailed assessment of the needs of each family member, it is possible for every household to survive at least several days with no outside services. A sensible home system will take over the work of providing warmth, shelter, and nutrition.
Author Kathy Harrison guides readers through the empowering process of setting up such a home system with her OAR method — Organize existing supplies, Acquire additional necessities, Rotate everything for freshness. Her comprehensive coverage of emergency preparedness includes food storage, alternative heating sources, personal supplies for every family member, entertainment ideas, toiletry and proper clothing, pet supplies, emergency family communication plans, and neighborhood cooperatives.
In addition to preparing the home for extended periods without electricity, Harrison also discusses evacuation plans — where to go, how to meet up with family, what to pack, and how best to protect all that’s being left behind. Self-sufficiency at home or in a temporary safe haven takes away much of the fear and helplessness associated with disasters. Just in Case puts the power back in the hands of individuals who are equipped and ready to take over when public services fail.
Disasters can strike an entire region or a single unlucky family. They can be brought on by weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, severe heat or cold, landslides) or by man (terrorism, acts of war, simple human error). Whatever the cause, these catastrophic events have the potential to disrupt routines and cost money and lives. Why not be one of the prepared few? Just in case . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 當連續數日停電、停水！
當突然遭遇地震、颶風!
你的家庭，是否已經做好了應對措施？
災難來襲，你準備好了嗎？
每一個家庭都應必備的突發災難應對手冊 當電源突然發生故障，而早已事先做好準備的家庭便依然能夠生活得很舒適。周密的計畫、組織還有對每一位元家庭成員所需的詳細評估，這樣的家庭在沒有任何外部服務也能撐過幾天是完全沒有問題的。一個切合實際的家庭體系是能夠接管提供熱量、庇護和營養飲食這些基本功能的。
作者凱西.哈里森引導讀者通過她的OAR方式逐步建立一個家庭體系-籌備現存補給，保證額外必需品，保持轉動使每一種物品保持新鮮。她的應急準備覆蓋到方方面面，包括食品儲藏、替代熱源、每一位家庭成員的個人所需、娛樂安排、梳洗用具和適當的衣物、寵物用品、家庭通訊聯絡緊急計畫以及鄰里協作。
除了為應付能源故障而需做的相應準備之外，哈里森還討論了疏散計畫—撤往哪裡？家庭成員如何會和？帶哪些行李？如何最大程度保護好來不及帶走的東西？可以呆在補給充足的家裡或者有一個可以暫時安身的港灣都可以緩解災難帶來的恐懼。《防患於未然》把真正的力量給到了每一個人手中，當公共服務不能及時提供，提前做好應急準備是才是以不變應萬變的最好方式。
災難會突然襲擊一個地區或某一個不幸的家庭，這或許是因為自然原因，比如颶風、旋風、洪水、森林火災、酷熱酷寒、山體滑坡等，也可能由於人類自身原因，比如恐怖主義、戰爭行為或簡單的人為錯誤導致。不管由於什麼原因，此類災難事件都可能擾亂正常的生活秩序和日常開銷。為什麼不提前做好準備呢？防患於未然。(Claire)
Awards/获奖情况：Review
With the assumption that "many of us have a false sense of security... assuming that technology will prevail or that some government agency will bail us out in a crisis," this extensive guide gives detailed, down-to-earth advice on what to do when disaster strikes, be it a house fire, an ice storm or biological terrorism. Aided by charmingly retro illustrations vaguely reminiscent of a 1940s air raid brochure, Harrison (Another Place at the Table) presents her "OAR" system for preparedness—organizing, acquiring and rotating supplies—and techniques to safely and even comfortably survive any kind of emergency. She shows how to prepare for a short-term crisis: building a supply of food and water; preparing first aid and evacuation kits; planning communication and a family meeting place in times of crisis. She also presents long-term strategies for self-sufficiency: "eliminating debt and securing a supply of cash in your home"; planting a garden, canning food and making cheese; replacing an inefficient fireplace with a woodstove; building a solar oven. Harrison shows that learning to do it yourself, besides providing some security in an increasingly insecure world, brings less obvious but perhaps equally important benefits: "an incredible sense of self-sufficiency and independence." And pointing out that family preparedness can build community, she reminds readers, "crisis can bring out the best in people, or the worst. Strive to be one of the good guys."
