    About this ebook

    This book could save your life! The ebook edition of The No-Nonsense Guide To Earthquake Safety is the fifth in a series of crisis manuals focusing on natural (and man-made) disasters. This guide is designed to provide a comprehensive source for the latest research related to earthquake safety. Subjects covered include: providing a basic survey-level understanding of earthquakes; addressing long-held earthquake myths; how to be proactive in preparing for an earthquake; providing sound advice by government and professionals in the geological sciences on the best courses of action during an earthquake; the best shelter/courses of action during an earthquake; and how to remain safe after an earthquake has occurred. This manual also contains several useful appendices that include a listing of government and charitable resources (for those affected by earthquakes), and the latest research regarding animal behavior & earthquakes, as well as endeavors to create manners of earthquake detection.
