"Urban Survival" is your essential guide to thriving, not just surviving, in the face of urban disasters. From power outages and natural disasters to social unrest and communication blackouts, this comprehensive handbook dismantles the unique challenges of city survival and equips you with the practical knowledge and proactive strategies needed to protect yourself and your loved ones. Starting with the critical first 72 hours, the book outlines immediate actions for safety, securing vital resources like water and food, and establishing a resilient mindset. It delves into essential urban skills: water purification, urban foraging, alternative power solutions, home fortification, first aid, and navigating a broken city.

Going beyond short-term survival, "Urban Survival" explores long-term preparedness by emphasizing the importance of community building and mutual aid networks. It offers crucial guidance on sanitation and hygiene to prevent disease, communication strategies in a blackout, self-defense tactics, and the psychology of survival, including managing stress, fear, and trauma. This book also delves into the new urban economy of bartering and trade, the dangers of misinformation, and provides a systematic approach to rebuilding and recovery after the initial crisis has passed.
