Meanwhile, the image of the disaster prepper as either paranoid or actively hoping for social disruption has become commonplace. It's time to face the sad truth: the disaster preparedness movement in America has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePivot Points\u003c\/i\u003e, experienced disaster \"prepper\" Paul T. Martin argues for a shift in how America views disaster preparation. Instead of their dismissing prepping as a hobby or the result of an overactive imagination, Martin challenges individuals, emergency management professionals, and community leaders to answer three vital questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo we need a culture of preparedness in America?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat should that culture look like?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do we create that culture?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin challenges readers to discover their \"pivot points,\" those sources of motivation for preparing both themselves and their communities for disaster. For some, motivations might center on family safety. For others, a sense of citizenship or religious beliefs might drive their preparedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy exploring different pivot points, we create a more resilient, inclusive culture of preparedness, transforming the reader into an advocate for public safety and creating better preparation in private and public spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul T.
