520    Unlike most guides in today's bookstores that tout the 
       "best places" to live based on golf courses, schools, etc.,
       this book considers future threats that most other people 
       fail to see or choose to ignore such as: a labor crisis or
       pandemic that halts the inflow of food and business goods;
       an economic crisis that threatens your pensions, 
       investments and other so-called "guaranteed" income 
       streams; a major earthquake or other natural disaster that
       suddenly upsets the natural social order for months at a 
       time; an emergency that clogs the area's freeways; or the 
       "unthinkable": nuclear war or major terrorist attack on a 
       U.S. city with chemical or biological weapons. It is easy 
       to dismiss these threats during times of peace and 
       prosperity, but they are real and the probability of such 
       events occurring increases every year. In this 4th Edition
       we have updated our country-by-country and state-by-state 
       reviews based on the continuing political and demographic 
       changes, including recent events such as the exaggerated 
       Covid 19 pandemic. We help you develop your own customized
       strategy in this book, by taking you through each threat 
       and helping you recognize which threats require relocation
       and which can be mitigated through common-sense 
       preparations. To help you evaluate the pros and cons of 
       each area we have summarized the most valuable information
       in easy-to-read formats including: expanded text and 
       graphics for weather, pollution, population density, 
       natural disasters, nuclear and military dangers and more; 
       color maps by state showing terrain, public and private 
       land use, and military target areas; an evaluation of all 
       the most attractive foreign "expat" countries; regional 
       maps outlining the best general retreat areas; and much 
       more.
