New Zealand Survival Handbook

This survival handbook is about saving lives. It brings together information from authoritative sources, setting out clearly and concisely the dos and don'ts of surviving a disaster.
In New Zealand we are constantly under threat from major earthquakes, erupting volcanoes and violent storms. We are also at risk from the devastating effects of fire and road accidents. Our outdoor lifestyle brings potential for being lost in the bush or finding oursleves in difficulties in and on the water.
Knowing what to do before a disaster happens and knowing how to make use of the resources around us can ensure our survival in most emergencies.
