WHAT TO DO WITH LESS THAN 3 DAYS TO A NUCLEARDISASTER!

This instructional guide is for American families preparing forimminent nuclear attack, with widespread radioactive fallout,from atomic bomb(s), not just a small localized 'dirty bomb'incident. (IF NOT imminent, there might be time for even more thatyou can and should do, linked near the end, in addition to thefollowing!)

2/23

Understandably, if you are reading this in a time of national crisis,you are anxious to take action right now, but to assure that whatyou do with your remaining time, before disaster strikes, is trulyeffective, you must first embrace a realistic 'Plan of Action'. Careful

study of this action guide, here and now, will assure that you makethe most of your available options, resources, and time, with aminimum of wasteful panic. Read it all the way through first, atleast once, THEN TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION WITH CONFIDENCE...FAST!

#1 - STAY OR GO?

You have to decide FIRST if you need to be preparing to staywhere you are, or to be attempting to evacuate before the

nuclear attack begins and subsequent radioactive fallout arrives. (Ifonly a radioactive 'dirty bomb', not actual atomic blast(s), you maysimply be instructed to evacuate if its nearby, and should do so.)For coming atomic blasts, though, if you know already you will bepreparing to stay at your own home or, at least, the immediate localarea, go now to #2 below.

If instead, you are considering evacuation, your decision has tocome with a very high confidence that attempting to get to apossibly safer area is really worth your family taking this greatlyincreased risk. You do not want to get stuck anywhere betweenyour current location and hoped for destination, as there willprobably be no getting back. If you fail to get to your destination,you will be exposed without shelter, likely in a dangerous situationwith little effective law enforcement and perhaps amongst panickedhordes of refugees. Whatever supplies you have then may beseverely limited to only what you can then carry on foot (and keepfrom being taken away from you) to continue on anywhere.

However, IF you are in a big city or near a military target, AND youhave relatives or friends in the country that you know are awaitingyou, AND the roads between you and them are clear and theauthorities are not yet restricting traffic, evacuation may be a viableoption for a limited time. DO NOT attempt evacuation if all of theabove is not clearly known or if the situation is deteriorating soquickly that it's unlikely it will be for long enough to make the


3/23

complete trip. You do not want to get stuck and/or become arefugee being herded along with the panicked masses.

If evacuation is truly viable and to be attempted, do not wait,GO NOW! IF you already have enough fuel to make it all the wayand can do so with as many of the supplies listed on the last pageas possible. Better to be two days too early in arriving there, ratherthan two hours too late and getting snagged mid-way someplaceand exposing your family to a much worse fate than having stayedwhere you were. Because of the very real danger of getting caughtin an evacuation stampede that stalls, most all families will bebetter served to stay and make the best of it wherever theycurrently are.

#2 - WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FIRST

Because time is of the essence, you need to first delegate andassign to different adult family members specific tasks sothey can all be accomplished at the same time. Your first prioritiesto assure your family survival are Shelter, Water, and Food/Supplies.While some are working on the water storage and shelter at home,others need to be acquiring, as much as possible, the food andsupplies.

#3 - FOOD/SUPPLIES

Because much of the food and supplies listed on the last page ofthis guide may quickly become unavailable, quantities restricted,and/or the streets and stores may become un-safe soon, you needto assign someone NOW to immediately go to the stores withthat list! Get cash from the bank and ATM's first, but try and usecredit cards at the stores, if at all possible, to preserve your cash.

#4 - WATER

With one or more adults now heading to the stores with the list onthe last page, those remaining need to begin storing waterIMMEDIATELY! Lack of clean water will devastate your familymuch more quickly and more severely than any lack of food.Without water for both drinking and continued good sanitary


4/23

practices in food preparation and for bathroom excursions (whichwill inevitably be much less sanitary than normal), debilitatingsickness, or worse, will rampage through your household. All at atime with much less hope of any prompt medical attention when it

does. That is a highly likely but, avoidable, disaster, ONLY IF youhave enough water.

Every possible container needs to be filled with water RIGHTNOW! It will be very hard to have stored too much water. When theelectricity/pumps go down or everybody in your community is doingthe same thing, thus dropping the water pressure, that's it, whatyou've got is all you might be getting for a very long time. Emptypop bottles (1-3 liter) are ideal for water storage, also filling up thebathtub and washing machine. (Remember, later you'll have some

in your hot water tank.) If you have any kiddie pools or old waterbeds, pull them out and fill them up, too. Anything and everythingthat'll hold water needs to be filled up quickly RIGHT NOW!

One of the shopping items listed on the last page is new garbagecans and liner bags which you'll also use for storing water. In themeantime, though, or if you can't get any more new cans, you couldclean out an existing garbage can and scrub it throughout withbleach, then put in a new garbage bag liner and fill it with water.

(Use two liners if they are very thin/flimsy.) Choose well where youfill up garbage cans with water because they won't easily be movedonce full and many of them together could be too heavy for someupper floor locations. Ideally, they need to be very near where yourshelter will be constructed and can actually add to its shieldingproperties, as you'll see below.

BE ASSURED, YOU CANNOT STORE AND HAVE TOO MUCHWATER! Do not hesitate, fill up every possible container,RIGHT NOW!

#5 - SHELTER

This is the longest section in this guide, but not because there isany great mystery to understanding the simple principles ofprotecting your family from radioactive fallout. Rather, it's lengthybecause of the good news that there are so many viable options and


5/23

resources families could be utilizing with which to protectthemselves from it, to choose from. Here, too, we will throw off theself-defeating myths of nuclear un-survivabilitythat will needlesslybe sealing the fate of many less informed families.

Radioactive fallout is the particulate matter that's produced by anuclear explosion that's then carried high up into the air by themushroom cloud. Then it drifts on the wind and most of it settlesback to earth downwind of the explosion. The heaviest, mostdangerous, and most noticeable fallout, will 'fall out' first andclosest to ground zero. It could begin arriving in less than 30minutes after an explosion, if close. While the smaller and lighterdust-like particles will typically be arriving many hours later, as theydrift much further downwind, and often for hundreds of miles. As it

settles out, fallout will accumulate and blow around everywhere,just like dust or light snow does, so it'll be both on the ground andon the roof of all structures, whether you can readily see it or not.

This radioactive fallout 'dust' is dangerous because it is emittingpenetrating radiation energy (similar to x-ray's) that goes rightthrough most everything. Even if you manage not to inhale oringest it, and keep it off your skin, hair, and clothes, and even ifnone ever gets inside your house, it's still extremely dangerous to

the occupants inside from there on the outside. Radioactive fallout,outside on the ground and on the roof, emitting these penetratinggamma rays, much like x-rays, goes right through your house walls,roof, and floors, and can injure or kill you on the inside, even whenthere is no fallout dust at all that actually got inside.

Radioactive fallout, while it can be very dangerous initially, is losingits intensity very quickly, too, because it's giving off so much energy.For instance, while it might initially be emitting gamma rays at arate of 500 R/hr shortly after an explosion, which would be fatal if

exposed to it for as little as an hour, it weakens to only 1/10th asstrong in as little as seven (7) hours later. And, three days later, it'sonly 1/100th as strong, or as deadly, as it was initially.

And, that's all really very good news, because our familiescan readily survive it, IF we get into a protected fallout


6/23

shelter to safely wait it out as it becomes ever lessdangerous with every passing hour.

What stops radiation, and thus shields your family, is simply puttingmass between the two. Like police body armor stopping bullets,mass stops (absorbs) radiation. The thicker the mass, the moreradiation it stops. Also, the denser (heavier) the mass used, thebetter it is with every inch more you can add to your fallout shelter.Here's the thickness in inches needed to cut (stop/absorb) theradiation down to only 1/10th of its initial intensity for differentcommon materials; Steel 3.3", concrete 11", earth 16", water 24",wood 38", etc.

Here are the thicknesses required to stop 99% of the radiation; 5"

of steel, 16" of solid brick or hollow concrete blocks filled withmortar or sand, 2 feet of packed earth or 3 feet if loose, 3 feet ofwater. Few will have enough steel available, but anything you dohave will have mass and can be used to add to your shielding, itjust takes more thickness of lighter wood, for example, than heavierearth, to absorb and stop the same amount of radiation.

Also, for every doubling of the distance between your family and theradiation outside, the radiation then is only 1/4th as intense ordangerous. (Same distancing protection principle here as going frombeing only inches away from a hot stove or bright light, to thenmoving a little further away where it's then not nearly as hot orbright.)

Thus, what you want to maximize with your family falloutshelter is to both distance yourself from the fallout radiation'dusting' outside on the ground and roof while, via effectiveshielding inside, be sheltering everybody there from as muchof this penetrating radiation as possible while it continues to

lose its intensity with every passing hour.

While a fallout shelter can be built anywhere, you need to see whatyour best options are at home or nearby locally. You want tomaximize both the distance from where the fallout will likely besettling and the shielding material (mass) you already have there


7/23

that could readily be incorporated to better surround and shieldyour fallout shelter.

If you do not have a basement available, you can still use thesame techniques shown below in any above ground structure,but you'll need to use more mass to achieve the same level ofshielding as what is seen for those basement shelters. You wouldpick the most central interior location and build up mass shieldingon all sides and top of your shelter. You may also want to exploreutilizing other solid structures nearby, especially those with belowground spaces, such as commercial buildings, schools, churches,and other public buildings. Also, below ground parking garages,large and long culverts, tunnels, etc.

Some of these may require permissions and/or the acquiring ofadditional materials to minimize any fallout drifting or blowing intothem, if open ended. Standalone buildings with a half-dozen ormore floors, where there is not a concern of blast damage, can bevery effective, too, when situating oneself up in the center of themiddle floor. This is because of both the distance and the shieldingall those multiple floors provide from the fallout way below on theground and from what fallout is still far away up above on the roof.

Bottom Line, though, with all these options you might explorelocally, is to find those close by with both the greatest mass anddistance already in-place between the outside, where the falloutwould settle, and the safer inside.


8/23

If you have a basement atyour own home, or at anearby relatives' or friends'house that you can use,

you'll likely be best served tofortify and utilize it, unlessyou have ready access to abetter/deeper structureelsewhere that's still close by.

Amongst expedient last-minute basement shelteringoptions at home, even just

simply pushing a heavy tableor pool table (one you canget under) into the corner ofa below ground basement,can be surprisingly effective.You want to utilize whichevercorner down there has thegrade (earth) highest up thewall on the other side of it.Or, if no heavy table is

readily available, you cantake internal doors off theirhinges and lay them atop twosupports to create your'table'. You would then pileatop it and all around it (onthe two exposed sides), anyadditional available masssuch as books, wood,

cordwood, bricks, sandbags,heavy furniture, full filecabinets, full watercontainers, your food stocks,and boxes and pillow casesfull of anything heavy, like


9/23

earth. Everything you couldpile up and around it hasmass and will help absorband stop more radiation from

penetrating inside, and theheavier the better.


10/23

Leave a small crawl-throughentrance and more massthere that can be easily pulledin after you to seal it up. With

two little 4" air spaces, onehigh at one end and one lowat the other, then with asmall piece of cardboard youcan help fan fresh air in if thenatural rising warmer airconvection current needs anassist moving the air along.

This incoming air won't needto be filtered if the basementhas been reasonably sealedup, however the windows andother openings will requiresome solid mass coverage toassure they both stay sealedand to provide additionalshielding protection for thebasement. More details on

this in the next (#6) section.

With more time, materials,and carpentry or masonryskills, you could evenconstruct a more formalfallout shelter, such as thelean-to shown to the right,but you would want to pile up

much more mass than whatlittle is depicted there...

A basement, combined withhunkering down under thatsturdy table or lean-to there,packed and surrounded by


11/23

extra mass, can stop and cutdown the radiation receivedto only 1/20th to as much as1/200th or more. That means

that if there was an initial 500R/hr radiation intensityoutside (which, again, wouldbe enough to give you alethal dose in an hourexposed to it) you would haveunder that table only 2.5 - 25R/hr. (And, remember, withevery passing hour after the

explosion, that fallout wouldbe decaying and quicklylosing its energy to where, 7hours later, it would only be1/10th of its initial deadlyintensity.)

Adding even moremass on the floorabove your chosenbasement corner, andoutside against thewalls opposite yourshelter, candramatically increaseyour shieldingprotection. Every inchthicker adds up tomore effective life-saving radiationshielding.

As cramped as that


12/23

crawl space mightappear, you wouldhave achieved vitalshielding, by simply

moving some massinto place, that couldclearly be thedifference betweenexposure to a lethaldose of radioactivefallout or, instead,survival for yourfamily.

The majority of peoplerequiring anysheltering at all will bemany miles awaydownwind, and theywill not have to staysheltered for weeks onend. In fact, mostpeople will only need

to stay full-timesheltered for only thefirst couple or threedays before they willstart coming outbriefly to attend toquick essential chores.Then, later, they wouldbegin spending ever

more time out of theshelter daily andeventually only comingback in to sleep thereat night. You and yourfamily can easily


13/23

endure that, asmiserable as it mightseem now, especiallycompared to the

alternative.

And, it's really all too easy here to build your family falloutshelter,

and to do so very effectively, not to get it done... RIGHT NOW!

#6 - ESSENTIAL DETAILS

If you've accomplished the above; securing your supplies, storing

water, and building your family fallout shelter, CONGRATULATIONS!You have now succeeded in improving the odds of survival for yourfamily easily 100-fold, or more! Now, you need only to expand yourknowledge and fine-tune the tactics that will make the most of yourviable family survival strategy here. The following will begin to helpyou to do so...

Getting government crisis updates is important, but onlyfollowing their instructions may not always be prudent. Thegovernment will never instruct the mass public to do anything

that would then become impossible for everybody to try anddo all at once. Many who could survive might not be told howto because not everybody could also do it then, too. Forinstance, clearly the best course of action, if anybody knewfor-sure nukes were soon to hit any particular major cities,would be to get out of those cities quickly. But, thegovernment will be slow, if ever, to announce and telleverybody to evacuate, because they know everybody thenpanicking can't get out at the same time, or in-time, nor would

there be someplace for everybody to go to if they could.

(Like in the movie 'Sum of All Fears', when they got thePresident out of the SuperBowl, but didn't even try and warnor evacuate any of the rest of the crowd there, too.) So, they'lllikely be telling everybody instead to be calm and stay put,while your options and time to act will be quickly eroding away


14/23

for your family. This is where, though, individual families ontheir own initiative, can successfully get out to safety or makeserious preparations in-place, as long as they are not waitingaround for the government edict to tell them to do so first.

Which they might not ever even do, or soon enough, or asurgent, as it needs to be.

The same goes for the shopping list below in this guide, thegovernment is not going to announce to everybody, as weadvise here, to rush on down to your local stores to beat theinevitable panic. If they ever did that, they'd create an evenbigger panic along with unleashing mass riots. But, if you wantto assure you have food and supplies enough for your ownfamily, that's exactly what you need to do personally, now

BEFORE the rush. That's without first awaiting any governmentinstruction to do so, which may never come. You alone arealways ultimately responsible for your own family, never thegovernment, so you must decide for yourself, at all times andwithout exception, what the best course of action is for yourown personal family survival. And, then promptly act upon it!

Filtering the air coming into your shelter that's already there inthe basement won't be required. Air does not become

radioactive, it can only carry along, for awhile, fallout dust inthe air outside that wants to 'fallout' and settle down and will,if there is not wind kicking it back up. If your basement isreasonably snug then there won't be any wind blowing throughit and carrying fallout dust inside. Simply sealing anybasement windows, and other openings anywhere in thebasement, assures that accumulation of significant falloutinside is very unlikely.

However, to improve both the radiation shielding inside the

basement, and to protect windows from being broken andletting fallout blow in later, you should cover them all up. First,with wood, and then with sandbags or solid masonry blocks orearth, etc., at least on the outside, but inside, too, if possible,for the extra shielding that will also provide. If and when thebasement air gets seriously stale later on, you could re-open a


15/23

door into the upper floors of the still closed house. Or, have acommon furnace air filter at the ready to secure over anoutside air opening leading into your basement.

Regarding fallout contamination, you'll need to be able tocover up items you want to protect outside for easier rinsingoff of the fallout dust later when it's safe to come out and doso. For instance, if you have a vegetable gardening spot, youmight try covering much of it with plastic or tarp and weightingthem down. Outside equipment, too, should be covered up, ifpossible.

Any food or water stored in sealed containers, that can laterhave any fallout dust brushed or rinsed off, will then be safe to

use and, as long as you don't get the fallout dust mixed into it,then whatever radiation penetrated the food/water containerdoes not harm it. If you suspect that your clothes have fallouton them, remove your outer clothing before you come insideand leave them outside. If you have water, wash thoroughly,particularly exposed skin and hair. Exposure to fallout does notmake you radioactive, and if you are stricken with radiationsickness, this sickness cannot be passed on to others.

If without sufficient time to acquire radiological instruments ofyour own, like Geiger counters and dosimeters, you'll need tobe extra sure that your portable radios function properly frominside your shelter and that you have plenty of fresh batteriesin-stock for them. Listening for official guidance about theradiation threat levels in your particular area will be the onlyway you'll know when it's becoming safe again to venture out.It might be the only way you'll know when you first needed totake your initial maximum protective action.

When not in use, they should not be attached to any outsideantenna or even have their own antenna extended. And, theyshould be wrapped in any non-conducting insulation, likelayers of paper or bubblewrap plastic and then stored in ametal container or at least all wrapped in aluminum foil tofurther minimize the potential of EMP ruining the electronics.Having back-up radios, for this reason and others, would be


16/23

very prudent. With extra radios, you can have one alwaystuned to the closest likely target city and, if it suddenly goesoff the air, that could be your first indication of the start ofhostilities.

If close to a target, though, your first indication of a nucleardetonation may be with its characteristic blinding bright flash.The first effects you may have to deal with before radioactivefallout arrives, depending on your proximity to it, are blast andthermal energy. Promptly employing the old "Duck & Cover"strategy will save many from avoidable flying debris injuriesand minimize thermal burns. For those up really very close,they'll have tornado strength wind destruction descendingupon them, and will need to quickly dive behind any solid

object or into any available depression, basement, culvert, etc.A 500 KT (kiloton) blast, 2.2 miles away, will be arriving about8 seconds after the detonation flash with about a 295 mphwind blast that'll last about three seconds. An even larger 1 MT(megaton) blast, but 5 miles away, would arrive in about 20seconds. Hopefully, you are not near any target area 'groundzero' and will only, like the vast majority, have to deal with thefallout later.

When fallout is first anticipated, even though it has not yet

arrived, have everybody begin wearing their dust protectorfilter masks. Everyone should commence taking theirPotassium Iodide (KI) or Potassium Iodate (KIO3) tablets forthyroid protection against cancer causing radioactive iodine, amajor constituent of nuclear weapons explosions. Or, if notablets available, you can topically (on the skin) apply aniodine solution, like Betadine, for a similar protective effect.(WARNING: Iodine solutions are NEVER to be ingested orswallowed.) For adults, paint 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture ofIodine on the abdomen or forearm each day, ideally at least 2hours prior to possible exposure.

For children 3 to 18, but under 150 pounds, only half thatamount painted on daily, or 4 ml. For children under 3 butolder than a month, half again, or 2 ml. For newborns to 1month old, half it again, or just 1 ml. If your iodine is stronger


17/23

than 2%, reduce the dosage accordingly. Absorption throughthe skin is not as reliable a dosing method as using the tablets,but tests show that it will still be very effective for most. Donot use if allergic to iodine. If at all possible, inquire of your

doctor NOW if there is any reason why anybody in yourhousehold should not use iodine in a future nuclear emergency,just to be sure.

When you know that the time to take protective action isapproaching, turn off all the utilities into the house, check thateverything is sealed up and locked down, and head for theshelter. You should also check that you have near your shelteradditional tools and car jacks for digging out later, if required.Also, any building supplies, tools, sheet plastic, staple guns,

etc. for plugging any holes from damage. Your basementshould already be very well sealed against fallout driftinginside. Now, you'll need to seal around the last door you use toenter with duct tape all around the edges, especially if it's adirect to the outside door.

You don't need to risk fire, burns, and asphyxiation trying tocook anything in the cramped shelter space, if you have pre-positioned in your shelter enough canned goods, can opener,and other non-perishable foods, that are ready-to-eat without

preparation. More food, along with water, can be located rightoutside your crawl space entrance that you can pull in quicklyas needed when safe to do so.

For lighting needs within the shelter, ideally, you want to havemany small LED flashlights or LED head-lamps to stretch yourbattery life. (Try not to have to use candles in there, if at allpossible.) Bring in some books for yourself and games for thechildren. Maybe throw a small/thin mattress in there, somecushions, blankets, pillows, etc.

Toilet use will be via the 5 gallon bucket with a seat borrowedfrom one of the house bathrooms, if you did not purchase aseparate one. Garbage bag liners, hopefully sized for it, needto always be used and a full-size and bag lined garbage canneeds to be positioned very close to the shelter entrance fordepositing these in when safe to do so quickly. Hanging anysheet or blanket will help provide a little privacy as shelter


18/23

occupants 'take their turn'. The toilet needs to have its new'deposits' sealed up tight with the plastic liner after each use.Use a very secure top on the bucket and position it near thewall with the outgoing upper air vent.

Pets, and what to do about them, is a tough call. Letting dogsrun free is not a humane option, both for their potential to diea miserable death from radiation exposure outside and/or tobe a danger to others, especially if they get diseased and/orrun in the inevitable packs of multitudes of other abandonedpets. Caring for them is ideal, if truly realistic and not a drainon limited resources, while 'putting them down' mighteventually become a painful, but necessary reality.

Boiling or bleach water treatments will be used for cleaningyour stored water later for drinking. (This is for killing bacteria,

not for radiation contamination, which is never a concern forany stored and covered water containers or even sealed food.)Tap water recently put into clean containers won't likely needto be purified before using. To purify questionable water, bringit to a roiling boil and keep it there for 10 minutes at least. Ifyou don't have the fuel to boil it, you can kill the bacteria bymixing in a good quality household bleach at the rate of 10drops per gallon, and letting it sit for at least 1/2 an hour. Thebleach should be at least 5.25% pure, like Clorox, but be sure

it has no additives such as soap or fragrance. You can later getrid of the flat taste from boiling, or some of the chlorine tastewhen using bleach, by pouring it from one container to anotherseveral times.

There's much more that can be learned to both betterunderstand what you are up against here and how best to helpyour family survive and endure it. While time permits, and ifthe internet is still up & running, task somebody with gettingand printing out additional prep information.

"A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead andprepares for them;

the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers theconsequences."- Proverbs 22:3

LIST OF SUPPLIES TO ACQUIRE LOCALLY

If stores are still at all stocked, and safe to go to, try to buy asmany of the following items as possible... IMMEDIATELY! Thereare no quantities listed here on the food items below as family sizevaries and because, as the emergency and panic widens, manyitems will then become quickly sold-out or quantities restricted and

you'll then need to try to get more of what does still remain on theshelves. At a minimum you should be looking at two weeks ofprovisions, but much better to be aiming for two months or more,best as you can.

The reality is, if/when we get nuked here, it's going to be a verylong time before anything is ever 'normal' here again, especially atany grocery stores. (Talk to some of the Florida hurricane victimsfor a clue as to how miserable and long the disruptions can go on,and then remind yourself how localized that was, and with the rest

of the country just fine and supposedly able to help out, and theystill suffered there for weeks on end.) Nobody can begin to imaginejust how bad the suffering will be, and for how long it could go onhere, when nukes have gone off... and in multiple locations!
