Whew! That's a lot, but it's just the start.
What's New in Prudent Places USA's 4th Edition?
First is a great new chapter: QUICK START: Tips for Locating Your Prudent Place to get you off and running.
Second, ALL maps – now at 800 – have been updated except where information doesn't ever change. For example, the 2'x'3 map of Aquifers throughout America is as Earth provided from millions of years ago.
Third, many entirely new topics are covered in this 4th Edition. A number of these pertain to liberty and freedoms of all Americans. As we see these eroded and evaporate daily, this becomes increasing important to understand your rights whether moving or wanting to know how your state fares and what to expect. There are shocking changes.
Numerous new subjects are covered under Nuclear Power Plants from the possible resurrection of the Yucca Mountain's spent fuel storage site, to more reactors coming on line and where they are located, to nuclear power plants in seismic zones and ones that lie lie over faultlines or are in flood zones. Neither of these situations are safe.
Where are high hazard and dangerously deficient dams? What we aren't told in the news. Especially in light of more extreme weather, we're seeing horrendous effects of when too much rain pours down and dams bulge and burst as they did in Colorado in Summer 2013. The American Society of Civil Engineers rate our Nation's dams at a "D". Haven't heard about this? Read what we don't see in mainstream news.
Dangerous Bridges – What Every Person Needs to Know. Funds for the critical repairs are being siphoned off. Instead of fixing fragile infrastructure, these monies are funneled into ever-burgeoning entitlement programs. America is broke, and there is no back-up pot of gold. After the massive flooding in 2013, ancient dams already desperately in need of repair are seeing their chalky concrete construction chiseled and crumbling. One out of every 9 of the 700,000-plus American bridges are rated as "structurally deficient". Especially in an evacuation, it could be very dangerous going over these tired bridges with tons of cars simultaneously rammed through. As seen in Minnesota in 2007 and in Washington in 2013, bridges fail – some with dire consequences.
Some of the mostly timely new topics include Agenda 21 and the UN and Federal Land Grab. How and where are these entities silently usurping even more land while barring Americans from public property. Prudent Places USA 4th Edition also details their future plans. Are you in a danger zone?
If worst comes to worst and our Country comes under attack, the second area to be hit will be our Military, right behind all Communications. The new 2'x'3 map shows all Major Military Installations and the text chapter reveals what this means for you.
Your Liberties and Freedoms: Many new topics fall into this category. America today is barely recognizable compared to our Country of 15 years ago. It's important to know the latest information on self-defense for Right-to-Carry States and Gun Laws of each state. New material also covers states with Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine Laws. These will keep you protected, not the criminal, and out of jail.
Another new topic focuses on Homeschooling and your right to teach your children. Regulations, Requirements and Laws are shown for each state. They are a mind-bending labyrinth of do's and don't's and more different than can be imagined state-to-state.
Last in this area, is an overall assessment of each state's freedoms. This chapter compiles information in many arenas from taxation to voting, marriage to property rights, from regulatory issues to liabilities, from fiscal policies to civil liberties, from eminent domain (where the Feds can take your land) to unauthorized checkpoints and much more, and scores every state accordingly. Be prepared for surprises.
New text chapters for all of the above give you additional information as well as the latest material for all previously existing topics. Prudent Places USA 4th Edition is the definitive work on the state of America, its changing laws and all things involving natural and man-made disasters and the environment. It revealss the strengths and weaknesses of every state – and each has its pros and cons.

About the Data
The latest information has been garnered from many areas, primarily from scientific, government and statistical sources and presented in quick-to-understand maps. Wading through heaps of text is not necessary though supplemental information is provided if you want to know why an issue is important and reap other nuggets of information. They are beautifully illustrated and may answer questions not covered by a map. We encourage you to look at these sections, but the many maps give you an instant jump-start.
Prudent Places USA 4th Edition covers seven main areas:
You'll find maps in the right column of the Table of Contents and text chapters on the left.
Within these chapter headings, you have access to 64 main topics, plus additional subtopics. Prudent Places USA 4th Edition contains over 800 high resolution, full color maps, numerous informative tables, beautiful photographs of America, plus a myriad of bonus data. Prudent Places USA 4th Edition is visually enjoyable as well as informative. Nowhere can you find better detailed, more highly defined, full-color maps as those in Prudent Places USA 4th Edition. These 2 x 3 feet maps are so sharp, so clear, you can print them on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and see the information distinctly.
Prudent Places USA 4th Edition shows maps to a county level — all 3,142 of them! As a result, maps are very large and must be presented in CD-ROM format. It does little good to give a broad stroke picture when there are pockets of safer places in many states. Then again, some areas are absolutely NOT prudent.
Maps can be printed on transparencies and overlaid for a defining view of areas that interest you.
