As I complete the book, I have already highlighted many parts and intend to reread it this time studying the information to be included in my planning. Amanda did a fantastic job of threading research into a manuscript that cleverly captures your attention. I feel anyone would enjoy the book, but more importantly, I think each reader will be encouraged to prepare for those inevitable calamities we face. As for the professional planner in emergencies, I think the book should become required reading. I highly encourage all to read "The Unthinkable" by Amanda Ripley.
