SHELTER DOCTRINE — The Complete Home Shelter Field Manual (Vol. 7) + Fast-Track Guide
Your house already has a shelter in it — for exactly one kind of disaster.
The basement that saves you from a tornado can drown you in a flash flood and gas you in a chemical leak. The upstairs bedroom that keeps you above the water is the worst seat in the house when the wind arrives. No room is safe from everything. There is only the right room for the killer that's coming.
SHELTER DOCTRINE is the complete home-shelter field manual: which room, in which house, against which killer — when to go in, how long you can stay, and the exact minute your house stops being a shelter.
EVERY HOME. EVERY DISASTER. EVERY THREAT AT THE DOOR.
