An expertly curated compilation of officially published
step-by-step guides on how to deal with every kind of disaster
imaginable, drawn from government archives all around the world
from the 1910s to today. Organized into four broad disaster-themed
scenarios - Pandemics, Natural Disasters, Nuclear War and Alien
Invasion - this visual guide displays the plethora of public
survival advice and scare tactics proposed from all around the
globe to deal with every disaster scenario that has occurred or
been imagined since the early 20th century. From leaflets showing
how to build an earthquake shelter to booklets providing
step-by-step advice on how to protect yourself and your family
during a nuclear war, and from posters showing how to minimize your
chances of catching Spanish flu to documents indicating how to
identify aliens, this carefully curated selection of
disaster-planning documents reveals differences in public attitudes
towards impending catastrophe since the 1910s and showcases the
variety of approaches taken by governments in advising their
citizens. Informative commentary provides historical context for
the official advice, exploring how our universal preoccupation with
apocalypse has manifested around the globe, and explanatory
captions clarify the messages contained in the survival documents.
