When we feel fear and drive it away, it comes back in a less noticeable form, but stronger. If we start preparing for the crisis, we will feel a strange sense of relief. This book is about family preparation for a crisis that may never come. The first part of the text discusses the nature of the people who survive the crisis and how they act during it. The second part concerns the most practical instructions on how to disinfect water, what filter to buy, how to store food or create a warm room in a house affected by a power outage. At the same time, we recognize four types of rapid crisis - unexpected event, blackout, epidemic and social storm - and one situation of slow crisis, such as the disintegration and impoverishment of society. A scientist who has been dealing with crisis trends for years, an engineer who already attended survival courses and meetings of alternative practitioners in Austria in the 80s, a policeman with many years of service in the streets, a polar explorer able to cross Greenland on foot came together to write this publication, which has been in preparation for several years. and a member of the crisis team who not only participated in the flood, but mainly planned and led the Blackout team. A similar publication aimed at an ordinary person and an ordinary family has never been published in our country. The new edition of the book is expanded with experiences from the covid pandemic and the energy crisis that have affected the world in recent years.
