Nuke Blast
Here’s one link you can play around with. I did.
I like my own American military training better, but this link is
still both open source and maybe realistic at the local level. Anyway, that is
what we have available today that I know of.
Keep in mind several things.
1) Bend over and kiss your tail goodbye if you have the bad luck
to get nuked. Most of us won’t have this happen to them, in my opinion. If it
does, so be it.
2) Most bad nuke stuff ( like will kill us) degrades in about 3
days, so if you and your Family can hunker down for three days, that is good
for you and your Family. Generally that means go to the center of your home or
place.
3) It is the downrange impacts from radioactive fallout that is
worrisome, but remember it is still weather related, and usually limited. By
the time the Japanese glass ball fishing floats (at the time in the 1950’s) hit
the beaches in Hawaii after floating across the Pacific Ocean, they were
collector’s items and not worried about as per radiation stuff. Said another
way, nobody died from collecting them.
4) The chances of you dying from weather related downrange impacts
is small. Even most will not have “mutant” type children. Now some may, and
that is always a worry. You never know for sure since the areas of
contamination will vary. Even the rumor of John Wayne dying from nuke
contamination on a Hollywood set out in desert lands of the USA is still alive
and well.
5) Now later you can evacuate the area if you choose. It is a
crummy situation if lawlessness has arisen, too. Are you willing to shoot
someone while defending your home? Are you willing to shoot someone to try get
through some kind of road block if you evacuate?
6) Remember the average water heater has 40 gallons of clean
water to use if you can access it. I know how to access mine. Do you know
how to access yours? Whether the water heater is gas or electrically heated is
immaterial, by the way. Clean water is
clean water, period.
7) Canned food and about anything else (food wise) can be
contaminated on the outside, but not on the inside. So you can safely eat, too.
Now whether you like your menu or not is another subject.
8) I’ve been to Hiroshima, Japan (home of the first nuke blast) a
couple of times and even rung the peace bell at the Park there. Even within the
city Shukkeien Garden is gorgeous and peaceful these days, so nuke blast
recovery does happen, and relatively quickly. I’ve even run a marathon nearby.
I’ve even attended a baseball game there. And for sure I’ve eaten the food
there and drunk the local water, so far (now decades later) with no ill effect.
Said another way, prudent Germans would fly all their food and water into their
Kiev consulate after Chernobyl. In the long run, that may have been a waste of
their public money.
