I am super excited to share my short video about how I created my book “Day Before Disaster” to help regular, busy people to prepare for hurricane and tropical storm threats.
I wrote and illustrated this to be the “missing hurricane manual” everyone needs when one of these mega-storms is threatening. This book is designed to be a comprehensive guide for anyone, from the beginner to the seasoned prepper. It’s 216 pages are chocked full of detailed information and examples from real people who have prepared for and made it through some scary tropical weather.
A shout-out to the wonderful and talented team at cine.mamba95@gmail.com who shot and edited this really nice overview.
My goal is to reach and help as many people as possible. The book can be found here: https://www.hunkerdownguide.com/book/

I’m so glad that you found my book, Day Before Disaster Procrastinator’s Guide to Hurricane Preparedness. I’m Jamie Robe, and I’m the author. I’m also a father, a computer engineer, and a lifelong Floridian who has gone through many tropical storms and hurricanes. I wrote this book to help you to learn how you can protect your family, your home, and your pets.

00:00:27.000 –> 00:00:52.000
I talk about shutters, generators, battery backup systems, how to prepare food, how to protect your refrigerator. To do that, I created 10 preparation steps. That’s the first half of the book. It’s an illustrated book so you can understand the concepts that I’m talking about. I’m trying to simplify everything so that anyone can follow this. The second half of the book deals with mindset.

I talk about what a hurricane is, what it’s like to go through one, so it demystifies some of the fear that you might have. We also talk about anxiety and stress and how to get through this experience.

Hurricanes can be really scary.

00:01:11.000 –> 00:01:30.000
It can be a costly experience and an uncomfortable one. But I wrote this book so that you can take ch charge of your own destiny and prepare. And if you prepare, you’re going to feel better about your own safety and that of your loved ones and your pets and your home.
