About the Author

Dana Schofield.

Dana Schofield served twenty years in the U.S. Army, where the young soldiers she worked with called her Sarge. For the last eight, her job was getting water, generators and supplies into towns after hurricanes and floods, often to people who had been waiting in the dark for days. She learned that the people who did best weren't the strongest or the richest. They were the ones who had thought about it before it happened.

When she retired home to Tennessee, an ice storm knocked out the power for five days that first winter. She found her parents in coats at the kitchen table, one flashlight between them, no water stored, and a refrigerator full of her dad's insulin getting warmer by the hour. She had spent twenty years preparing strangers for disasters. Nobody had ever done it for her own mom and dad.

This collection is what she built for them, and now for you: calm, practical and based on the guidance of the people who handle emergencies for a living.

It is not a doomsday book. It is a plan for the things that actually happen, so you're calm when they do.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is anything mailed to me?

No. It's a digital collection (one PDF with all four books) that you download straight after paying. Nothing is shipped. You can print any page.

Is this a doomsday prepper book?

No. It's calm and practical, built for the emergencies that really happen to ordinary people: blackouts, storms, hurricanes, and staying safe day to day.

I'm on a tight budget. Will this help?

Yes. Most of the collection is plans, lists and habits that cost nothing. The shopping list shows how to build a basic kit for around $100 with store brands, one shelf at a time.

Does Book 3 teach fighting?

No. It teaches awareness, avoiding danger and legal personal protection tools, with clear notes to check your own state's laws. Fighting skills need a real instructor, and the book says so.

Is the medical advice safe for me?

It's general guidance from the FDA, CDC and similar sources. Always follow your own doctor's and pharmacist's instructions for your medicines and devices.

What if it's not for me?

Reply to your receipt email within 7 days and you'll get a full refund.
