Hi All,
This posting is to announce the publication of my new book "When There is No FEMA - Survival for Normal People in (Very) Abnormal Times". Before posting this I coordinated with JimRob to receive guidance on how to do this properly.
This professional, textbook-quality, 500+ page book represents the culmination of 3 years of painstaking research and authorship, and is intended to be the definitive reference for anyone interested in modern day disaster preparedness. Topics covered include:
One noteworthy and unique chapter provides a detailed action list and charter for instantly organizing a group, neighborhood or small town to survive a worst-case scenario. Another provides the most thorough treatment of personal and family disaster planning to be found anywhere.
By visiting the book's web site and clicking the 'Free Preview' button (or by clicking on the link below) you can begin to appreciate exactly what it has to offer and how it stands out among modern day survival books.

Between now and Feb 8, 2014 any Freeper may visit the web site and enter the coupon code 'freep0214b' at checkout to obtain a 25% discount when purchasing the book. Each book shipped will be signed by the author (me) and ALL PROFITS from sales using this coupon code will go to Free Republic (at this point I'm just interested in getting this book into as many hands as possible).
Happy Prepping!

I don’t think there would really be a FEMA when the SHTF.
I know at least two people who have been trained for FEMA who are in it so they and their expended families will have advance notice if things go bad. Both have told me that they never would show up if there was an emergency.
Hence the title of the book! :)
Should’ve just titled it, “When there IS FEMA”, since the post-apocalyptic result will probably be about the same. Remember how well they did in NOLA after Katrina?
Well, the title is intended to meet "John Q Public" half way. But you're absolutely right, of course! :)
There is NO FEMA
This book has now been added to my "Burning times library".
Keep Calm
and
Prep On.
Well, I suspect if the group of victims had a reputation for voting primarily for Democrats that FEMA *might* show up, if only to hand out blank checks.
Pre-Super Bowl bump.
Thank you for the generous offer and your contribution to FR. Looking forward to picking up my copy. Looks like a great book!
Outstanding gesture !
<big bump>
I'm sure you'll find "When There is No FEMA" to be an excellent addition to our library. :)
Reminder to self...buy this book.
Hi Sergio ... satisfaction guaranteed! This book has a ton of important information at levels of detail that you just won't find many places and/or in any one book.
Just ordered one.
It’ll make a good reference to frequently peruse and digest.
Looks very thorough.
FWIW, I have previously purchased “A Failure of Civility” which is far more of a ‘force of arms’ and governance/organizing text. I took that book apart physically and turned it into a tabbed notebook - an SOP manual on my shelf.
I look forward to receiving yours.
REM: I encourage you to contact Matt Bracken (FReeper Travis McGee) if you haven’t already. He has successfully sold well over 100,000 copies largely through WOM and social media marketing.
I think you'll find Chapter 14 of particular interest. That chapter provides step-by-step instructions for organizing a community or small town when advanced preparations are minimal, and was written in consultation with a pretty large and knowledgeable group of preppers.
Rich Bryant - meet Matt Bracken.
Matt is the VERY successful author of the Enemies Foreign and Domestic Trilogy, as well as Castigo Cay and other short pieces compiled in the Bracken Anthologies
Matt has a lot of experience with word of mouth marketing for beginning authors, as well as how to leverage ‘new media’ and social media.

Matt, if you happen to have some words of wisdom they would be more than greatly appreciated!
"This is absolutely the best prepper book I have seen yet. It's incredible in its comprehensiveness and level of detail. I will say though it isn't an easy read, but as Richard states in the beginning of a book it is intended to be read 'like a bee' gathering information here and there as needed. The book is encyclopedic. I will definitely recommend this to my group."
"I consider myself to be a very experienced prepper with over 34 years of military service, 30 in uniform and 4 as contractor/civil service mostly in special operations forces. This includes service in Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Additionally, I am an avid reader of both dystopian fiction as well as nonfiction "how to" prepper materials and have been living a prepper lifestyle at my "bugout location" for the last 3 years. This book lives up to its billing of "if I could take 1 book this would be it".
Okay, you got me.
I ordered your book.
I’m looking forward to receiving it.
I’m sure you’ll be quite happy with this addition to your library. I put heart and soul into it.
