What kind of books would you need to help you during an evacuation? Usually, the first one listed is a copy of The Boy Scout Handbook. It will help you in a variety of ways, from different knots that will be useful, to cooking outdoors. It even has a section on first aid, although it will be just the basics.A First Aid Book would come in handy for medical problems that go beyond the basics. There are many websites that offer free downloads of first aid information, a few are listed here:
--All Things First Aid
--Safety and First Aid
--First Aid Coloring Book for children
--Holistic First Aid
--First Aid Book
Scriptures or books from your church will help to ground you in a time of chaos, giving you the peace and calm that you might be yearning for.
To help calm and keep children busy, coloring books, reading books, puzzle books, and picture books will be a blessing. Adults might appreciate reading books and puzzle books, too.
A survival book will come in handy if you will not be staying in a government shelter. As we have seen after the Katrina storm, the government may not be ready for the surge of people that will be looking for help. Be prepared to be on your own--just in case. A few free download books are listed here:
--US Army Survival Manual (6th e-book down)
--Many kinds of survival downloads
--Scroll down for survival manuals
I am sure there are other books that would be important to include in our evacuation kits. Add a comment to share what books you may have thought of!
