by David Pearson (Author) Unexpected Doesn't Have To Mean Unprepared. In today's fragile economic, political, environmental and social climate it's easy to see the necessity for becoming more self reliant. Disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Japan earthquake and nuclear disaster, and the Boston bombing have relayed to us again and again that no one is left untouched in tragedies such as these.
