A great book for preparedness - not the crazy survivalist type, but everyday well-being. We've all had the power go out, or been snowed in, or been too sick to leave the house for several days. How would you fare in any of those situations? Could you eat, stay warm, have enough meds, flush the toilet(s), keep your kids from going bonkers with boredom?!? Just in Case will help you plan and prepare for almost any situation ranging from a 24-hour power outage to a months-long pandemic. I was pleased that a lot of the suggestions are things that I have already done. My family does need to prepare a go-bag for evacuations, but if we have to shelter-in-place we're pretty well set for a month. I imagine that some of my friends will be heading over to my house when/if the disaster happens. :-)Small peeve/Personal opinion: Some of Harrison's directions for preservation and/or food preparation are overly complicated. I realize that she's working to prevent botulism and other possible problems, but sometimes simple is best. I have my own yogurt method that is easier than hers, as is my dehydrating method for fruits & veggies.
