As we have seen with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, disaster preparedness is not a luxury.

Everyone from Louis Pasteur to the Girl Scouts has championed the motto "Be Prepared" - but what does that mean in today’s constantly changing world? In this age of anxiety, when reports of mass shootings, political unrest, the threat of nuclear war, devastating natural disasters, and digital attacks dominate the news and are transforming our lives, we yearn for some control. We want to make sensible decisions to help keep us on track when everything seems to be going off the rails. We want to be ready - to the best of our abilities - for the worst that can happen.

As a seasoned war correspondent with more than 30 years of experience working in crisis zones and a pioneering safety consultant, Judith Matloff knows about personal security and risk management. In How to Drag a Body and Other Safety Tips You Hope to Never Need, she shares her tried-and-true methods to help you confidently handle whatever challenges comes your way.

Learn how to:

  • Perform emergency first aid
  • Create a bunker
  • Keep yourself safe when traveling
  • Keep yourself safe from online hacks
  • And dozens of other invaluable tips to stay safe in any circumstances

Blending humorous stories and anecdotes with serious advice, Matloff explains how to remain upright in stampedes, avoid bank fraud, prevent sexual assault, stay clean in a shelter, and even be emotionally prepared for loss. From cyber security, active shooter situations, and travel, to natural disasters and emotional resilience, she shares tips that will give even the most anxious person a sense of control over life’s unpredictable perils. Unfortunately, we can’t anticipate all the crises of our lives. But with How to Drag a Body and Other Safety Tips You Hope to Never Need, you’ll find the skills and confidence you need to weather an emergency.

This may be a good book for someone who has no idea what they are doing at any time. Prepare for such brain busting suggestions as “pack extra clothes” and “get a vaccine when traveling to places with malaria”

For those of us who have actually lived in the world for longer than 5 minutes, this is just a laundry list of basic things, which is fine, but the title suggests much more than you actually get here.

Like others I couldn’t get through the hour long chapter 3. Just not worth the time.

Not worth it

Active shooter drills in schools are horrifying and traumatic for children. They’re also saving countless lives by preparing them for the worse case (and sadly, increasingly common) scenario. The author of a book DEVOTED to the topic of preparedness should, of all people, recognize that. I’d be willing to bet more people in the US will benefit from knowing the best active shooter practices than will need to know which booze makes hair shiniest. To listen to the author carry on about how unnecessarily traumatic active shooter drills are was painful, especially after so many stories of combat zones and dangerous parts of the world. The comparisons made to the “duck and cover” drills in the 50’s and 60’s was even more infuriating. Climbing under a desk isn’t going to save anyone from an atomic bomb, but learning to be perfectly silent when someone bangs on your classroom door keeps kids and teachers alive. To compare the two is dangerously out of touch with the threats our children experience each year,

I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt that the author has had a change of opinion on active shooter drills in schools since this book was published. Unfortunately, it wasn’t published too horribly long ago, so I don’t have much hope.

The school shooting section…yikes

the info in this book was jumbled and hard to follow. I'm not sure how good it was after chapter 4 because that's all I could stand of the narrators Non-Stop nonsensical pauses in random spots.

Seriously: the narrator's voice and rhythm (or lack of) gets a big fat NO from me.

The title makes it seem as if the information is going to be presented in a humorous manner and instead it was like listening to a lecture in school.

sigh. I wasted my book credit on this.

ugh.

In chapter 4, the author stated that opossums "often have rabies" which is absolutely untrue. Opossums are highly resistant to rabies due to their low body temperature. If that was wrong, what else was? I was forced to stop listening and return the book.

Questioning accuracy...
