“Prepare Your Home for Disaster: A Self-Reliance Guide for Grid-Down Preparedness” by Blaze R. Vaughan is an applicable guide for living through challenges in a disaster or long-term power outage.

Blaze draws from her personal experience in the wake of a hurricane and tornado to clearly guide readers on preparing their homes and families for crises.

Besides, the book is lengthy and covers a wide range of topics, from securing your home to creating water and food supplies and finding alternative power sources once the grid goes down.

Additionally, the book provides checklists for preparing supplies, including food, medical kits, and tools, with ideas on how to creatively repurpose simple items when necessities are limited.

Vaughan advises readers to be self-sufficient and instructs readers on how to appraise risks faced uniquely by individuals, such as those living in flood-prone or fire-prone zones or subject to other natural disasters.
