What to prep for WWIII ?
Mom asked if there were any additional or special preps she needs to get done in the next couple of weeks with this Syria/N. Korea/Russia/China fiasco happening right now. I thought it might be a good time for everyone to make sure they are ready or pick up any last minute items they might need or want to have on hand.
Below is a link that you can use for a simulated nuke at any address. Using this simulator will give you an idea of the effects of a nuke exploding on a target. Most Nuke targets will be High population areas for example NYC/LA, Ports or major interstate junctions, military bases or Missile silos with nukes.

Now if you are at ground zero or within 10-15 miles of a nuke with no protection you will have a very bad day but outside of those targeted areas, surviving a nuke is very doable and you probably have most of what you need already on hand!
After the initial blast of fire and over pressure wind storm the next bomb danger to humans is radiation. There are 3 types of radiation Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation particles. Alpha and Beta particles while dangerous to ingest and breathe can be blocked by some thing as thin as a piece of paper. Now the Gamma radiation is the what you need lead or a lot of dirt/sand barrier for protection. As long as your home is not compromised it will provide adequate protection from both Alpha and Beta radiation. For Gamma radiation you will want to have a basement or a bunker for earth to protect you. But if you don’t have a “bunker” move to the interior of your home and make a mini-bunker. Close off all vents and use plastic sheeting to cover windows. Of course it is not perfect but it should give you adequate protection for the first 2 weeks when you need it the most!
The first 2-3 weeks after a blast has the highest radiation sickness danger. So you will need to have plenty of safe water for drinking and cleaning plus sealed food in cans. Pets can’t go poo outside and every one will need to stay inside for 14 days at a minimum. Whatever you have stored in your home is what you will have to use to survive.
The additional affects after the nuke drops will probably be more dangerous and longer lasting than the bomb explosion itself.
EMP or Electro-magnetic Pulse might take out the electric grid and most electronics like smart phones, laptops, TVs and tablets. Many new vehicles are full of electronics and may not start without replacement parts. Generators and pumps may stop working. Literally everything from hospitals, grocery stores, railroad yards, ocean ports, nuke reactors and power plants sewer treatment plant will stop working.
