The Survivalist series

"The whole catastrophe-preparedness notion is a guaranteed dinner-party downer, roughly on par with discussing leprosy or child molestation, and only a fool writer desperate for material would risk bringing the subject up in sociable company."
- David Shenk, the Survivalist Series

In 2006 Slate magazine published eight articles on survival topics. Here are the topics and links:

• How to Survive a Disaster (intro)
• How Survive a Nuclear Bomb
• How to Survive an Earthquake
• How to Survive a Subway or Skyscraper Attack
• How to Survive a Superworm or EMP Attack
• How to Survive Global Warming
• How to Survive a Dirty Bomb
• How to Survive Avian Flu, Smallpox or The Plague

Bottom Line
Each week I discover new survival blogs and publications. It's amazing how much material there is out there but how few people actually care.
