Emergency Coordination
INTRODUCTION
This book was born out of my dissatisfaction with existing sur-
vival guides. Most of them focus on singular catastrophes that
occur in a matter of minutes or hours, requiring immediate but
short-term responses. That kind of preparation and awareness
is useful, but it doesnt address another kind of potential situa-
tion: Namely, the kind of disaster that nobody is preparing for, a
full-on collapsethe end of the world, or at least thats how it
would seem if you were in the middle of it. That would demand
a different kind of preparation. One way to think of it is to ask
yourself these questions: What would I do if I knew help wasnt
coming in the aftermath of a catastrophic event? What would I
do if I knew I had to survive on my own?
EMERGENCY :
A local event that can
be managed with local
resources.
DISASTER:
A local, time-limited
event that leaves regional
and national resources
sufficiently intact so that aid
and response are available.
CATASTROPHE:
A large-scale event with
national or international
consequences. Local and
regional response resources
are overwhelmed, and
complex, far-reaching
consequences persist over the long term. Societal infrastructure is

damaged or destroyed.
EXTINCTION-LEVEL
EVENT :
Exactly what it says. We
wont be dealing with these
in this book because, if one
happens, you wont be
around to read about it.
In other words: HELP IS NOT COMING. NOT NOW, MAYBE NOT FOR A
LONG TIME. YOURE ON YOUR OWN.
NEW YORK COLLAPSE

retracing her steps reveals key secrets at the heart of the blockbuster new game.
