The Civil Defence Emergency Handbook from Singapore

The Singapore Civil Defence force has been publishing their 'The Civil Defence Emergency Handbook'. I think this is one of the best public publications to educate and prepare civilians for emergency's. It's a very extensive and easy to read handbook. I think it's a great example for other country for a good emergency handbook for there citizens. It's even a good book for people in other countries to add in there emergency kit (Bug out bag, grab-bag, 72 hour back, emergency bags, etc.). It's probably to basic for people with a high interest in preparedness, but very good for most people.



Available in 4 languages (English, Mandarin, Bahasa Melayu and Tamil) so most people living in Singapore should be able to read it. If not there are many pictures, which also makes it much more fun to read. There is even a version with manga comic for Children.

The Civil Defence Emergency Handbook and many other posters and leaflets can be downloaded from there website: http://www.scdf.gov.sg/content/scdf_internet/en/community-and-volunteers/publications.html
