When a large scale disaster happens emotions will run high. After just a few days, starving people will become desperate and convince themselves that they need to turn on their friends and their neighbors for food and other necessities. Other people will take advantage of the crisis and begin to loot from the victims. Politics will also no doubt play a role in the disaster as people quickly turn to the government for help only to then quickly turn against the government once they start blaming politicians for the catastrophe. You will encounter dangerous riots, violent demonstrations, organized raiding parties and marauders, looters, burglars, and once ordinary people who have turned into savages. Antagonistic people will emerge as leaders during the demonstrations and begin to push their agendas. As an ordinary citizen, you have to consider all of this during a disaster. You will be confronted with people who are hellbent on inflicting physical harm on you in order to loot your home. Not only do you need to have plenty of emergency essentials, such as water, food, and medicines stocked up, but you also need to strongly consider home defense as well. The typical American house is ill-equipped to withstand a home invasion. This is why you must take the necessary steps to modify your house to make it more defensive friendly and to increase your chances of successfully defending it should you be attacked. What I am asking you to do is to treat your house like its your castle. In the Medieval ages, castles were well fortified and defended in order to protect the supplies and the lives of the people inside. Your house should be no different. You must fortify it and defend it in order to protect your survival stockpile and the lives of your family. This book is going to discuss thirty one lessons (plus a bonus lesson) on how to transform your ordinary house into an impenetrable fortress to keep you and your family safe from attack during disaster. During disaster, you may be attacked by any of the following parties: Violent Demonstrators Violent Rioters Organized Raiding Parties Burglars Your Own Neighbors If people in any of those above categories have any reason to take your house, such as if word gets out that you have food and water, then you will be attacked. You have to know how to modify your home to make it more easily defensible and how to defend it, and that's exactly what this book is going to teach you how to do. After reading this book and applying what it teaches you, your home will become more than just your home. It will become your castle.
