An emergency room physician and U。S。 Air Force veteran, Dr。 Torres, aka “Dr。 Disaster,” has spent his career on the front lines, saving lives in all sorts of disasters。 He’s seen it all, from late nights treating patients in the ER to early mornings covering the country’s latest crisis on NBC/MSNBC as senior medical correspondent。 His entire job is to think about the best practices in an emergency—and now he’s sharing this hard-won knowledge with you。

In Dr。 Disaster’s Guide to Surviving Everything, Dr。 Torres shares the essential advice you need to survive any worst-case scenario, from natural disasters like lightning strikes, hurricanes, and wildlife encounters, to human-made ones like terrorist attacks and active-shooter situations。 As fun to read as it is informative, this book is full of hacks that could save your life, such as:

A very handy survival guide, although not that different from other ones I have read before。 Would have a hard copy on hand so I could make sure I have the information I need at my fingertips。

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Dr。 Disaster's Guide to Surviving Everything。This was a fantastic book! Dr。 Torres has an easygoing writing style which translates well。His extensive knowledge and experience as a medical doctor and military veteran shines and I am in awe of his intelligence and service to our country。He dispels many myths regarding certain survival tactics including how to make tourniquets (let's just say television/movies don't get it right) and how to get out of a trap Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Dr。 Disaster's Guide to Surviving Everything。This was a fantastic book! Dr。 Torres has an easygoing writing style which translates well。His extensive knowledge and experience as a medical doctor and military veteran shines and I am in awe of his intelligence and service to our country。He dispels many myths regarding certain survival tactics including how to make tourniquets (let's just say television/movies don't get it right) and how to get out of a trapped car in a flood。I won't lie and say I didn't skip to the section about zombies (I did) and appreciated Dr。 Torres referencing zombies as a way to make teaching survival techniques to younger people more interesting。Some readers may not want to read a book about survival techniques during a global health crisis but, personally, I enjoy these types of books because knowledge is power and it never hurts to be prepared。 I hope I never have to refer to the most serious and scary parts of Dr。 Disaster's Guide to Surviving Everything but at least now I know what to do in case I'm being chased by a zombie alligator。Nah, just kidding。 Maybe? 。。。more

It says a lot about the state of our world when a book called Dr。 Disaster's Guide to surviving everything is ACTUALLY the most practical non-fiction that I read。 It's useful and very practical。 It gave me lots of ideas about simple things like carbon monoxide prevention to fire to other natural disasters。 Should be required reading at this point for all adults!

Dr。 Disaster’s Guide to Surviving Everything I got this from NetGalley。5 Stars!I really liked it。 The things he talked about really could save your life or the lives of your family。 The “always watch your six”(your back) is an important lesson to follow in dangerous areas。 He covered a lot of important things。 He even covered what do you do if you are dealing with a “dirty”(radioactive material containing) bomb! Some page numbers weren’t added in this ARC and had Page 000 instead。 Living in a ts Dr。 Disaster’s Guide to Surviving Everything I got this from NetGalley。5 Stars!I really liked it。 The things he talked about really could save your life or the lives of your family。 The “always watch your six”(your back) is an important lesson to follow in dangerous areas。 He covered a lot of important things。 He even covered what do you do if you are dealing with a “dirty”(radioactive material containing) bomb!
