Average police response time is 7 minutes. Do you know what to do in those minutes?
A book that walks you step by step through what to do in the first minutes of a break-in, fire, accident, or attack — before anyone gets to you. No panic, no fear-mongering. Concrete procedures, ready to put in place this weekend.
Why most people don't know what to do
Nobody taught you this in school. Nobody taught you at work either. Maybe once in your life you took a first-aid course for your driver’s license — and that was 15 years ago. You know you’re supposed to call 112. But do you know exactly what to say? In what order? What to do while you wait? What to do when there’s a child at home who just woke up and is crying?
Most safety guides are written by people who have never stood in the situation they’re describing. Or by military folks who use language you don’t speak. Or by gadget salesmen who want to push an alarm, a stun gun, and a “tactical defense” course on you for 4,000 PLN. Meanwhile, 90% of what you need to do in a crisis costs nothing — you just have to know.
This book exists because for 25 years I’ve watched how people react in hard situations. People get lost not because they’re weak — but because nobody ever showed them the order of the steps. Once you’ve been shown, once or twice, it sticks.
What's inside
- 12 chapters of procedures for the most common emergencies
- Scripts for calls with the 112 dispatcher — exactly what to say, in what order
- Printable checklists — for the first-aid kit, the safety board, the car
- One-page decision flowcharts — to stick on the fridge
- A section for families with kids — how to talk, how to practice, what to avoid
- An appendix with Polish emergency numbers and help resources
- A list of items worth having at home before you need them
- A bibliography — what to read next when you want to go deeper
Who this book is for — and who it isn't
For you, if:
- You want to know what to do when something happens at home or on the street
- You have a family and feel responsible for their safety
- You'd rather have a plan, even if you never need it
- You're looking for material you'll read once and keep coming back to
Not for you, if:
- You're looking for a book on military tactics or shooting
- You want wilderness survival and bushcraft
- You're hoping that reading alone will be enough, with no follow-through
- You'd rather believe that nothing bad will ever happen to you
What readers say
Finally, a book in Polish that my 72-year-old dad understands. We bought two copies — for my parents and my in-laws. Dad spent two evenings with a pen in hand, marking things up. This was exactly what I needed.
I work in IT and thought I knew everything about cybersecurity. But the chapters on physical crises — evacuation, first aid, supplies — that was something I’d been missing. Concrete, no fluff.
As a workplace safety inspector at a manufacturing company, I recommend this book to all our employees. Plain language, clear procedures. I bought 3 copies for the shift supervisors.
Price: the cost of a single specialist consultation
With the difference that this knowledge stays with you forever — and you pass it on to your family.
