Disclaimer

Plainlight Press publishes plain-English field manuals for households. They provide general information for educational purposes. Conditions, laws, technology and official guidance change, and every household is different, so please read the notes below.

The Home Front Manual

This manual is not a substitute for professional advice, formal training or the instructions of emergency officials. In a real emergency, instructions from your local emergency management office, fire department, utility and the National Weather Service come first. In any emergency, call 911. Electrical, gas, plumbing, structural and tree work should be done or approved by licensed professionals where the manual says so. First-aid information is general layperson guidance, not medical advice: talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your own needs. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any product you use.

The Digital Front Door

This manual is not legal advice or a technical support service, and no guide can guarantee that you will never be targeted by a scam. Device settings, company policies and scams change quickly; when in doubt, check your device maker’s official help pages. If you believe you are the victim of fraud, contact your bank or card issuer right away, using a number you look up yourself, and report it to the authorities listed in the manual. If you are threatened or in danger, call 911.

The Kitchen Table Money Plan

This manual provides general financial education only. It is not financial, investment, tax, legal or insurance advice, and it does not take your personal situation into account. Nothing in it is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, investment, insurance or other financial product. The publisher is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, tax preparer, insurance agent or attorney. Before making decisions about investments, taxes, insurance or legal matters, consult a qualified professional.

Sources and names

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Plainlight Press and [Your legal name or company name] are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from the use of this information.
