A useful self-help tape marred by a tedious introduction and slow pace throughout, Just in Case, hosted by Barbara Salsbury, provides practical guidelines on how to prepare for emergencies (earthquakes, etc.) built around the somewhat nebulous concept of "Soft Security” (“security comes with the confidence of knowing what and how to prepare, eliminates the influence of commercial hype or panic, and can be personalized and applied to any individual's circumstance and budget”). Individual segments cover water, meals, fuel, cooking, heating, lighting, sanitation, personal hygiene, first aid, healthcare, communication, transportation, and morale boosters, with solid suggestions and advice. Comprehensive and inexpensive, this is recommended for those without similar fare. Aud: P. (S. Fisher)
