SCENARIO THREE: NUCLEAR TERRORIST ATTACK OR DIRTY BOMB:
If there is a terrorist nuclear explosion or a dirty bomb with high isotope radiation markers is exploded in
the U.S., Israel, European Union or allies, then higher levels of decontamination, evacuation, checkpoints
and staging areas will be needed. FVN Metro/State/National will have to work with local, regional, and
Federal offices of FEMA Homeland Security, the National Guard, local, county, state and federal law
enforcement agencies. The most FVN Command and Control can do is to get out of the way and work
with the various agencies. This will cause a FVN GEMSTONE CODE EMERALD-BOUNDARY-STATUS
BLACK.
Depending on where the explosion is, where the fallout cloud is going and where you are compared to
those parameters. See above for flanking travel and evacuation routes. If you are/were in the primary
contaminated area, then there is a good chance that Homeland Security, FEMA and National Guard units
will be coming to get you, or you will be going to their decontamination areas, treat you for radiation
poisoning–if possible, and get you set up in FEMA shelters. Now if you are outside the radiation area or
upwind or the fall out will arrive in a day or two, then you will need to make proper preparations. Will and
where FVN Area/Metro/State Controls be able to set up fallout shelters?
Many homes do not have basements or have half-basements, so if you do not have a basement or
shelter, then think buying one or building one. If that is impossible to work with friends or family and
neighbors to work on a community shelter or at least know where you can go to be or be safe and out of
harms way. Call me on this subject.
HOW TO RADIATION PROOF YOUR HOME: Depending on your home and where your home is
compared to the fallout cloud, the amount of radiation and path expected, then either you will have to try to
evacuate or get hunkered down. You will need 24-36 hours to complete the shelter. I consider this a last
resort because evacuation is better if it is safer. If you are in a General Radiation Alert and told to
Radiation Proof your home then do the following:
Of course get all your kits, boxes and bags. Gather up as much water as possible. You should already
have one gallon per person per day for fourteen days or more in potable (drinking) water and ten gallons
per person per day in non-potable water for cleaning and sanitation. For non-potable water save gallon or
larger milk or juice jugs, rinse throughly, put in one ounce of bleach, rinse again and drain. Then fill all
jugs and mark as non-potable–do not drink. Keep a couple gallons of bleach, water purification tablets
and a water filter. Try to get ten or 55 gallon water drums also. Don’t forget your first aid kits, medicines
and special needs items. Set up a 360 degree water sprinkler on your roof and use it when the fallout is
coming down. It will wash to the ground. If the fallout is not on the roof or the walls, then you shouldn’t
have too much internal fallout problems for your shelter. Install gutters on all horizontal. Extend your
gutter washes to 20 foot long.
You will need a basement that won’t flood, make sure to have a sump pump, and that you can still escape
if needed. The biggest item to stop radiation fallout is concrete or dirt. You will need a lot of dirt and
plastic to surround the basement of your house. Depending how big your basement is and how many
people or FVN members are to stay there; in this scenario we will be planning on a 24 foot wide
basement by 60 foot long with about 10-12 people to stay there. The 60 foot basement will be divided
in half. Concrete blocks will be put in the middle at 35 foot long. As the block wall goes up dirt is
shoveled into the holes. The blocks need to be at least two deep, and alternate the direction of the blocks
cross wise on each level. The 20 inches of thickness should stop any residual radiation in the
basement. There will be a doorway that has a double or triple entry with steel doors if possible. If you
are really serious you can buy shelters on the internet.
Get 4"x6"s and set up a grid and lay 3/4 inch plywood at a 78" above the floor. Have the 4"x6"s every 12"
on center to support dirt and lay the plywood on top. Shovel at least 8" of dirt or concrete above the
plywood. Work towards the block wall. Remember that thick enough dirt and concrete stops alpha and
gamma radiation. Plans available in Summer 2018. A concrete shelter must be built in prior to an
emergency.
On the outside of the house you will have to cover all the windows with plastic and then cover with dirt or
clay to at least two feet thick to two foot above the main floor. On the inside staple thick plastic at the two
foot level above the floor, this should capture any radioactive dust, and let the space act as a partial
barrier. You will not be able to use your central air/heat because it has to draw from the outside, hence
radiation. Plus energy and utilities may be off or rationed. E-mail FVN for diagrams for these plans in
2018. Start to prepare to evacuate and gather all kits to one or two areas, if possible get to outside the
radiation zone.
Utilities: Water and gas might be cut off. This is why you have extra non-potable water. If you have a
basement toilet you can use non-potable water, but do not flush all the time, shut the lid. Use air spray
and scented candles in and near the bathroom. If you don’t have a toilet, buy a portable toilet with bags.
Try not to use it all the time. Have plenty of candles, mattresses, pillows and blankets, because you will
want to be comfortable. Seal all your sewer vents and pipes with a rag or plugs so radiation can’t back
flow.
Communications: First off you will need a hard-line phone. A phone that does not need electricity to
use. Make sure to have cable TV or a satellite line to the shelter. Get the new Digital TV Box with long
range antenna to put in the other room in the basement, because EAS messages, weather and fallout
reports will be broadcast. Also have wind up radios and radios with extra batteries. Set up your CB radio
with a magnetic stick whip in the room to get further range stations. GMRS in a basement will only be
good for a couple of miles. The CB has five watts and with the extra antenna it should go five to 10 miles.
Have a rechargeable setup for the CB unit and have extra rechargeable batteries as well as extra
batteries. Have plenty of batteries for all radios and flashlights. Ask me about most communication or
DTV questions.
Heat and Generators: If you can use a generator, probably a 5kw to 10kw to run a middle size
refrigerator, a hotplate, a microwave, tv, cable or satellite box and a few lights as well as some heat or
fans. Set it up in your outside 20 foot away but have it secured with steel fence posts, chain and lock. Only run the
generator two or three times a day for an hour or two to charge everything, get the fridge and freezer
cold, cook and see what is happening in the world. Someone will have to go upstairs and outside to start
and stop the generator. A five minute exposure will not hurt you with dosage. Just have one set of
outside clothes to change with inside clothes. As the half-life of the radiation expires your exposure time
can be longer. But cover all your basement windows with plastic and dirt. Make sure to change clothes
and decontaminate yourself. Once the all clear is given by authorities be ready to evacuate to a safe
zone as prepared by FVN or FEMA.
Make sure that your safe room or fallout shelter that you have all leaks sealed. Have fans,
circulations system and air filtration system. YouTube has various videos on Nuclear shelters and
ventilation systems. Check prepper sites also.

On generators, implement a safety vs. security protocol due to carbon monoxide poisoning in garage even if piped outside. Don't want your genny stolen, but don't want to die either. Check YouTube videos. Red.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have a basement, use furniture, doors, tables, mattresses, books to build a 2 foot barrier to escape radiation. fema.gov has some ideas.
