John “Lofty” Wiseman is the author of the bestselling SAS Survival Handbook, the definitive guide to survival in the wild from Britain’s Special Air Service. Now he has compiled the complete guide to surviving among crowds of people, the mazes of office buildings, the dangers of an unfeeling city—put simply, how to stay safe in the urban jungle. Thousands of preventable fatalities occur in the home every year— more than on the roads, more than in the great outdoors. Household chemicals, electricity, cooking knives, and rodent poisons—in the wrong hands and with improper usage, these day-to-day resources bring danger to your home. Add to this the risks of moving through city streets (the threat of rape, muggings, and gang violence) and the menace of natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, blizzards) that cannot be avoided. Every day serves as a constant reminder: The world is truly a frightening place. The SAS Urban Survival Guide advises readers to think practically about urban environments and offers tips and instructions on how to avoid hazards wherever one goes. From self-defense techniques to home security systems to coping with natural disasters, this book teaches readers to recognize danger, make quick decisions, and live confidently in the modern world.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, AND RADIOLOGICAL TERRORISM The first few minutes after a chemical, biological or radiological (CBR) terrorist attack are the most critical, and actions can be taken to save lives. The first priority is to avoid or reduce exposure. Every minute wasted may cost lives, and it is unlikely that experts will be present immediately to advise.This book is written for individuals, families, security professionals, etc., to form the basis for the critical decisions necessary to save lives. The most important section is the Emergency Response Protocols, providing prioritized instructions for those caught in a CBR attack. The Handbook also provides information necessary to evaluate equipment available for CBR protection, including gas masks, personal filter masks, and air filters. The protective characteristics of equipment must be matched to the characteristics of CBR to ensure adequate protection. Attack indicators can serve as a first alert if the sights, sounds, scent, sensations or dissemination equipment are known and recognized. Guidelines for analyzing risk based on geographic location and international visibility, and for assessing vulnerabilities based on site characteristics and business profiles are presented. Protection of water supplies from CBR attack is addressed.
