Surviving The Fall of Society
This guide is meant to lay the ground work for a successful survival of a large scale nuclear or biochemical attack and the imminent collapse of society in it's wake or the collapse of society by any other means...Everyone has a job and must work together to survive. If you and one of your fellow citizens have a disagreement this must be set aside or you will not survive. Everyone should be mature enough to overcome such difficulties with relative ease.
