Emergency Supplies in case of assault/attack
Prepared by S. Price sjp@rightpov.com
February 2003

To secure your house against a gas attack, pick up many rolls of duct tape to seal windows, vents and doors. Close vent in fireplaces and stove vents if possible.

Pick up facial nurse's masks and use the filters if they have them in case you have to leave the house. If you do use your fireplace don’t forget to open the vent. We used Kerosene heaters in the canyon at night when we were surrounded with forest fires. Our chimney was too close to the trees.

Pick up extra filters for heater units and try to use the forced air units as little as possible. If you can, change the filters after use. Air borne bacteria will get trapped in the filters.

Pick up a supply of water purification tablets (Army Navy Stores/Big 5 has them)

Pick up several bottles of Clorox for cleaning kitchen surfaces if the refrigeration goes out. Clorox will kill many germs and bacterial things like anthrax. Try not to inhale it. A good thing to have on hand are baby wipes, they can be used for everything. Wash rags too and of course liquid cleaners like windex for quick clean ups that save precious water.

If you have a pool, cover it tightly as this is a good source of drinking water. Your water heater can be drained for drinking water too if you have a draining valve.

If power goes out, have many batteries of all sizes on hand. Radios, BBQ lighters, matches, lamps and cooking stoves (I use propane burners with several small tanks of extra propane). For emergencies don’t forget your car has a radio too!

Bottled water (at least 10 gallons per person). I keep 20 gallons because I also have a large dog and 3 cays. Save water from doing the dishes to be reused in the toilet tanks if the water source goes out. It shouldn’t but who knows?

Pick up extra medications such as Neosporin, aspirin (adult and baby) and each person’s prescriptions should be kept filled. I don’t bother with bandages except for band-aids because I have tons of sheets, blankets and towels. Elastic bandages are great.

Keep cars topped up and keep extra bottles of water and crackers in the trunk. Keep extra cash available because the banks may close down their windows to the public.

Food: If you have storage available keep fruits and vegetables that can be eaten without cooking. Dehydrated foods like Sam Andy are good but remember they require water. Keep pet foods in stock and put a package in your car too with a water bowl.

Canned foods are fine and most can be eaten without cooking. Canned or powdered milk is available and most packaged foods can last for months. Breakfast cereals can be stored in tight jars almost indefinitely as can sugar and cookies. Kitchen machines that remove air from plastic containers are the best as even bread can be kept fresh for weeks.

The safest way would be to try and stay home and keep the doors locked. There might be unseen panic outside and nobody should be allowed in one’s home unless you know them. Don’t even open the door to anyone in uniform unless there is another adult in the home too. Have an emergency phone number of a neighbor to check in with as a team. Sometimes seniors need to know someone is aware they are there.

During our earthquakes and forest fires we printed out the email addresses of friends outside of our district to use for picking up and leaving messages for others. When the Montana Bitterroot forest was burning I became the emergency email address for several people who were evacuating from the area. I took messages and passed on messages to people who were outside the Montana area. Plan to work as a team and I guarantee no one will be upset. I became the center of where each member of the family was and where they were going and I lived in California. It worked like a dream.

If you do decide to leave home for a safer area have an email address to report where you are. Use mine I have the forms for messages in my head from years of being a central information center. Email me with your name and where you and where you are going. Don’t forget the date and time. Let me know when you get there.

Being so far from ground zero, feel free to use my email address and send me messages for people who might worry about you. I seriously doubt that all of us will be hit at the same time. Half of us should be available to send messages for the rest. (This is 100% Red Cross and it has worked for as long as phones and emails have been around) The phone lines will be tied up with panic so use the email and even the discussion forums if the Administrator approves. Somehow I think he will.

Once you get your home set up for emergencies then try to forget about it for several hours each day. You are as prepared as you feel is necessary and pick up a book and clear you mind of that son of a bitch Saddam!!!

If for some reason we are attacked with bombs, find a room in your home that has no windows and fill it with blankets and get close to a wall and put the blankets over the people. Clear the room of anything made of glass. Keep extra shoes and sweaters in your bunker without windows. Keep a flashlight and extra radio if you have one.

Follow Mediamaven’s idea and head for the cellar with a case of scotch and a box of cheerios! Don’t forget your cigars.

I just downloaded FEMA's Community Emergency Responce Team (CERT) manual. Lots of information for emergencies of all kinds. Actually, this does not go into surviving nuclear fallout and that sort of thing.

Some of the information included: firefighting, hazardous materials/DOT placards, emergency medical (opening the airway, controlling bleeding, shock, burns, wounds, amputations, etc.), search and rescue, and disaster psychology.

A great collection of information on many different "homebrewed" ideas including construction info, solar, food & water preps, gardening, medical info and much more ...

HOMEBREWED IDEAS

[SmartyPants]

I found this field manual pretty interesting -- it was a real eye opener.

Military Police Internment/Resettlement Operations

Chapter 9-2. Controlling civilians is essential during military operations because uncontrolled masses of people can seriously impair the military mission. Commanders plan measures to protect civilians in the AO and to prevent their interference with the mission.

Before you decide to bug out you might want to see how the military intends to handle civilian internees (CV), dislocated civilians (DC), and displaced persons (DP).

9-3. During military operations, US forces must consider two distinct categories of civilians—those who remained in place and those who are dislocated. The first category includes civilians who are indigenous to the area and the local populace, including civilians from other countries. They may or may not need help; and if they can take care of themselves, they should remain in place.

9-4. The second category includes civilians who leave their homes for various reasons. They are categorized as DCs, and their movement and physical presence can hinder military operations. They probably require some degree of aid (medicine, food, clothing, water, and shelter) and may not be native to the area or the country. The term DC is generic, and it is further subdivided into categories.

If I understand it correctly, if you bug out and they find you -- you will be detained. If you stay holed up in your house you stand some chance of being allowed to remain in place.

The plans showing the internment centers bring back memories of the old concentration camps. I'm sure it wouldn't be much different. I hope it never comes to this! Didn't somebody post about some internment ceenters that have already been built in preparation? One of them was in Palmdale or Mojave, California. Makes me think I should take a drive and see if the place seems to "fit the plan".

KI4U, Inc.
212 Oil Patch Lane
Gonzales, TX 78629
(830) 672-8734

History & Expertise...

We've been offering KI and KIO3 since 1999, long before most
saw any need for it. We sell it to the Federal Government, military,
and many state and municipal governments, as well as to doctors,
hospitals and pharmacies. Also, tens of thousands of individuals
and families have bought KI or KIO3 direct from us via the internet.

We've invested heavily to secure the largest private inventory of
KI in the USA with over 15 million doses, currently, but still know
this won't be anywhere near enough in a future major nuclear
emergency. Nor, is enough of it likely to be exactly where it's
needed when the time comes, either, until the day every family
already has their own supply. Our popular informational FAQ site
is the 'Potassium Iodide Anti-Radiation Pill FAQ' seen at...
www.KI4U.com

We also show the public and govt agencies emergency alternatives
for the inadequate supply of available KI tablets on this page here...
www.KI4U.com/Plan_B.htm

Additionally, eight months prior to 9/11/01, we acquired from FEMA
over 100,000 Civil Defense radiological survey meters, dosimeters,
and geiger counters from the Federal Depot in Fort Worth, TX. That
required 12 tractor trailers to ship the 416 pallet loads down to our
warehouse/lab in Gonzales, TX. (We acquired them at auction, but
were told they were at one time even destined for a landfill!)

We are licensed and authorized to re-calibrate and re-certify these
instruments with our two high-range Cesium-137 calibrators here
and our lab staff of 6 trained & certified radiological employees.
(Total staff here is currently a dozen full-time, and 4 part-timers.)
We are the only private rad lab utilizing these unique calibrators that
were specifically made for calibrating all these Civil Defense survey
meters and dosimeters. These instruments require relatively high
levels of radiation to do so in conformance to the standards as set
forth by the State of Texas, FEMA, ASTM and the NRC, all of which
we adhere to.

These same-type Civil Defense survey meters are in current use
by thousands of Fire Depts, Haz-Mat and First Responders across
the country. We daily have state agencies and municipalities shipping
us their Civil Defense instruments to be re-calibrated, as well as
from the general public. We detail our calibration services here...
www.RadMeters4U.com/calibrate.htm

We created an extensive FAQ detailing the capabilities of these
instruments for emergency use, including correct meter selection,
on-line manuals and radiation basics. It is linked below and named:
'Civil Defense Rad Meters, Geiger Counters and Dosimeters FAQ'

Our inventory here represents the largest privately held source of
these Civil Defense instruments in the country. As we re-calibrate
these survey meters, geiger counters and dosimeters, we are making
them available, along with FEMA manuals, to government agencies
and the general public at the FAQ mentioned above, and linked here...
www.RadMeters4U.com

In 2002, we introduced an additional FAQ focusing on the effects
of nuclear blasts and fallout and the protective strategies families
can effectively employ. Free detailed info for DIY building of fallout
shelters and the on-line version of the Oak Ridge National Labs book;
'Nuclear War Survival Skills' can be found there. Also, sources for
'ready built' commercial versions, including our own design, can all
be seen at the 'Nuclear Blast & Fallout Shelters FAQ' here...
www.RadShelters4U.com

The fallout shelters clearly are not our fastest selling products, yet.
We often feel here like Noah building mini-arks, and until the fallout
begins to rain down, most folks won't take the need for one seriously.
Of course, most didn't take terrorism & KI seriously either, before 9/11.

But, that's OK, too, IF you have a below ground basement and IF
you learn now how readily you can make a corner of that into a truly
effective family fallout shelter. You'll be pleasantly surprised discovering
at www.RadShelters4U.com just how little time/money/energy it really
requires to make that essential difference for your family survival.
Abandon any pre-conceived notions of nuclear un-survivability and
prepare your family now to live, when you discover the facts there.

In 2002, we also released a FAQ on MRE's (Meals, Ready-to-Eat) and
have here 180,000+ Entree's of this long-storage food in inventory.
This is the same as what our military are eating in the M-E right now.
The MRE FAQ, along with menu selections and pricing for them here...
www.KI4U.com/mre.htm

At the end of January, 2003, we introduced at the National Health
Physics Society Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas our new
product, the NukAlert™. This is a patent-pending, matchbox sized,
key-chain attachable, personal radiation monitoring and alarming
device. With a ten year battery it is always "ON" 24/7 continuously
monitoring the local environment of the user. Details of the NukAlert™
along with the history of its 16-month R&D coming to market is here...
www.NukAlert.com

Last week, we introduced our latest product, the exact-same chemical
detection mil-spec strips in use now by our troops in the Middle-East.
It detects, with color changing paper, nerve gases and blister agents.
We've sold it to govt First-Responders, Fire Depts, Haz-Mat teams,
and now, for the first time, to the general public here...
www.KI4U.com/M9_Chemical_Detection_Paper.htm

For much of the above, we are the sole public source. We also have
our acclaimed and detailed informational FAQ's on everything here.
Our product pricing is very competitive as we strive to assure that
more fellow Americans might then be able to afford these essential
family preparations.

We look at all of it like medical insurance, where you never acquire it
eagerly looking forward to getting to use it anytime soon, but glad to
have it, if it is ever needed! We tell our customers that we hope/pray
it all gets a chance to gather much dust upon their shelves for many
years to come! I've got a family and kids, too, and truly wish none of
this stuff was needed. I'd eagerly and quite joyfully go about finding
something else to do, if that was the case. Unfortunately, it is not.

Feel free to call or e-mail me, if any questions or suggestions.

Best Regards,
Shane Connor

Survival Preparedness information
potassium iodide a must for everyone to have in stock
get it, stock it because uncle sam is not stocking your supply.
I suggest you think about how sick you would be and feel if
there were a radiation emergency. So if you dont have some
now you better act quickly.. Its all over the WEB but almost
as hard as finding gold locally.
potassium iodide and iodate feel the thyroid gland up with
good iodine, thus the radioactive type wont.. And that keeps
you going till you can get to a safe area..
read up on it if you need to..

TOTAL EXPOSURE ONSET & DURATION OF INITIAL SYMPTOMS & DISPOSITION

30 to 70 R From 6-12 hours: none to slight incidence of transient headache and nausea;
vomiting in up to 5 percent of personnel in upper part of dose range. Mild
lymphocyte depression within 24 hours. Full recovery expected. (Fetus damage
possible from 50R and above.)

70 to 150 R From 2-20 hours: transient mild nausea and vomiting in 5 to 30 percent of
personnel. Potential for delayed traumatic and surgical wound healing,
minimal clinical effect. Moderate drop in lymphocycte, platelet, and
granulocyte counts. Increased susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens.
Full recovery expected.

150 to 300 R From 2 hours to three days: transient to moderate nausea and vomiting in
20 to 70 percent; mild to moderate fatigability and weakness in 25 to 60
percent of personnel. At 3 to 5 weeks: medical care required for 10 to 50%.
At high end of range, death may occur to maximum 10%. Anticipated medical
problems include infection, bleeding, and fever. Wounding or burns will
geometrically increase morbidity and mortality.

300 to 530 R From 2 hours to three days: transient to moderate nausea and vomiting in 50
to 90 percent; mild to moderate fatigability in 50 to 90 percent of personnel.
At 2 to 5 weeks: medical care required for 10 to 80%. At low end of range,
less than 10% deaths; at high end, death may occur for more than 50%.
Anticipated medical problems include frequent diarrheal stools, anorexia,
increased fluid loss, ulceration. Increased infection susceptibility during
immunocompromised time-frame. Moderate to severe loss of lymphocytes.
Hair loss after 14 days.

530 to 830 R From 2 hours to two days: moderate to severe nausea and vomiting in 80 to
100 percent of personnel; From 2 hours to six weeks: moderate to severe
fatigability and weakness in 90 to 100 percent of personnel. At 10 days to
5 weeks: medical care required for 50 to 100%. At low end of range, death
may occur for more than 50% at six weeks. At high end, death may occur
for 99% of personnel. Anticipated medical problems include developing
pathogenic and opportunistic infections, bleeding, fever, loss of appetite,
GI ulcerations, bloody diarrhea, severe fluid and electrolyte shifts, capillary
leak, hypotension. Combined with any significant physical trauma, survival
rates will approach zero.

830 R Plus From 30 minutes to 2 days: severe nausea, vomiting, fatigability, weakness,
dizziness, and disorientation; moderate to severe fluid imbalance and headache.
Bone marrow total depletion within days. CNS symptoms are predominant at
higher radiation levels. Few, if any, survivors even with aggressive and
immediate medical attention.
