Extreme cold is the most deadly natural disaster, killing hundreds each year. The National Weather Service refers to winter storms as the "Deceptive Killers," because most deaths are indirectly related to the storms and are caused primarily by hypothermia and traffic accidents. Based on international protocols, Extreme Cold Survival focuses on what people can do before, during and after a winter storm to protect themselves and their property. Also included in each guide are smartphone QR codes that link to the websites of various emergency services agencies. Laminated for durability, this portable guide is an ideal source of quick and accurate information. Made in the USA.
