Master the Special Force's proven method for assessing threats and preparing for disasters—save time, money, and potentially your life by focusing your preparation where it matters most. From a former Green Beret and New York Times bestselling author comes a practical workbook that applies elite Special Forces intelligence methodology to civilian disaster preparedness. Instead of wasting money on random survival gear or trying to prepare for every possible scenario, learn how to conduct a professional Area Study of your location and prioritize your preparation based on real threats. What is an Area Study? Used by Green Berets before every mission, an Area Study is a systematic analysis of your operational environment. This workbook teaches you to apply the same proven methodology to assess the specific natural and man-made threats in your area—from earthquakes and hurricanes to floods and tornadoes—and develop a targeted, efficient preparation plan. Inside this workbook, you'll learn how to: Analyze your specific geographic location for natural disaster risks using official NOAA and environmental data - Assess the infrastructure vulnerabilities in your area (power grid, water supply, transportation) - Identify the most likely threats you'll actually face instead of preparing for Hollywood scenarios - Create a focused preparation plan based on real risk assessment, not fear or marketing - Allocate your limited time and money to preparations that matter for YOUR situation - Understand population density and resource availability in your region - Develop contingency plans for the disasters most likely to affect your area Stop wasting money on unnecessary gear. Start preparing intelligently. Unlike generic survival guides that try to cover everything, this workbook helps you focus on what matters for your specific location. Someone in Kansas doesn't need the same preparations as someone in Florida or California. Learn to think like a Green Beret conducting mission planning—identify the actual threats, assess available resources, and prepare accordingly. Features US Natural Disaster Maps showing earthquake zones, hurricane paths, tornado alley, and flood plains across America. Use this data-driven approach to understand your real risks. Whether you're concerned about natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or civil emergencies, this workbook provides the framework for making smart preparation decisions. Don't let fear or marketing drive your preparedness—let intelligence and analysis guide you. From the author of the bestselling Green Berets series and a graduate of West Point with years of Special Forces experience, Bob Mayer brings military-grade planning to civilian preparedness. Perfect for preppers, survivalists, emergency management professionals, and anyone who wants to protect their family with intelligent, focused preparation instead of random stockpiling.
