Dr. Disaster’s Guide to Surviving Everything: Essential Advice for Any Situation Life Throws Your Way

Dr. Disaster’s Guide to Surviving Everything is a book that everyone needs to run out and buy a copy of. As the title states, it is a survival guide that covers everything from basic first aid to Morse code to animal attacks and terrorist attacks. There is even a chapter about how to survive a pandemic, which seems oh-so-appropriate in this day and age.

One of the things I liked best about the book is that it is written in a way that is easy to understand for children who are just starting to read to adults. This book truly could help anyone. One of the most interesting chapters was about shooters and stabbers. The author teaches readers to divide a large room into quarters and search for an escape route in each quarter. He also teaches the art of barricading and hiding with as few people as possible to remain a difficult target.

As an emergency physician and U.S. Air Force veteran, author John E. Torres has firsthand experience in the face of disaster. This book is complete and detailed, and it’s an excellent guide to have on hand.
