Urban Disaster

Claire Benolt doesn’t do supernatural. Ghosts, vampires, werewolves? Total nonsense. Or so she thought. Eager to outrun her troubled past, Claire jumps at the chance to work for a private investigator in New Orleans. But her new boss isn’t exactly your average detective—he’s a centuries-old vampire with a taste for justice, and he needs Claire’s help to stop a brutal serial killer known only as the Ripper.

Billy Sothern's Down in New Orleans illustrates, in very human and heartbreaking ways, how the horrors that emerged during and following Hurricane Katrina existed long before the storm. These beautifully composed stories not only reveal the dignity—and amazing grit and grace—of the hurricane's survivors; they also illuminate larger truths about the urgent issues of our day.

The fault in modernity lies in the ever -ncreasing feeling of security. This has been brought about by various technological advancements which, albeit having made life much easier, have consequently resulted in lenience. A lax mindset is a precursor for accidents and incurs greater losses during disasters due to insufficiently managed risk. Disasters are sudden catastrophic events, either natural or human-instigated, that result in a grave disruption of normal day-to-day life.

In these days of increased tension, civil unrest, and global warming, disaster preparation for the urban dweller is not something to be taken for granted. Whether you live in a high-rise apartment, or own a home in suburbia, it is critically important that you have something to help you through the first 24 to 72 hours after a disaster strikes.

In this audiobook, you will discover the systematic way of preparing your home for any disaster. The first step is gaining knowledge about your house, your location’s geographical profile, and your community. Being an independent family doesn't keep you away from being a part of your community. At the end of the day, coordinating with other community members help prepare you and your household. Upon knowing vital information, the next covered topic is carrying out the actual preparation steps.

This audiobook aims to provide you with more-specific information on how you can prepare for serious disasters using resources that may already be sitting in your cupboards, your attic, or your collection of junk. You will find that the humble mason jars you might be taking for granted have a lot of practical uses when it comes to disaster preparedness.

Why you should prep.... How to calculate your family's needs.... Tips to keep you alive.... and much, much more.
