'''''Surviving Disaster''''' is a "survival show" that aired for a season on Creator/SpikeTV in 2009. Cade Courtley, US Navy SEAL, teaches the audience how to survive various disasters that could plausibly happen on any day to nearly anyone: airliner hijacking, skyscraper inferno, hurricane, avalanche, mall terrorist attack etc. Notable in its highly dramatized presentation meant to draw the viewer into the disaster scenario and complete lack of consideration for a FourthWall.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Surprisingly (for a show on Spike), for the most part, subverted. A lot of what Courtley has to say on the subject is [[TruthInTelevision useful and accurate]]. Still, the show does have a few moments where doing what he advises would get you killed in RealLife.
