Please read the other Nuclear pages on this website.

Purchase and store what you can afford. Two weeks is the bare minimum to store for nuclear war survival. But warehouses, trucks, and stores may not be open or working right away. So try to get three to five weeks worth of food and supplies in total. If you can get more, that is even better.

As your family or group emerges from your fallout shelter, you will find that you are in a new world, a new state of play. Family doesn’t have to be related by blood or marriage. The first thing that you should do is take stock of your families’ or groups’emotional state since we all just went through a traumatic event. We have to have hope and purpose to survive and thrive in the time after fallout. I hope to instill hope and purpose and help you thrive in the time after fallout.

Also take inventory of your water, food, and supplies. Hopefully you have three to five weeks, maybe more, of these items. Items you don’t have, then you can get later. Almost all aspects of life after fallout will depend on power and transportation. Will the lights, heat, phone and cells be able to work? Do you have power locally? Do you have water (pressure)?

For your area it may be days or it may ve weeks before stores open up, that is, that is if that they had anything left on the shelves prior to the war. This is assuming that there was about a weeks notice of the attack before it happened and there was panic shopping.

WATER: At day 15, your families’ or groups’ water consumption would still be one gallon of potable (drinkable) water per person per day, and 5 to 15 gallons of non-potable water per person per day for flushing, washing and laundry. How this is achieved is by different means.

Number one is, does the water service come back on? I would not drink from the tap, I would boil or put 16 drops of bleach per gallon in it. It might need to be filtered from the tap, it just saves you from having to walk to a river or lake. Take proper precautions to filter and sanitize water for drinking, cooking as well as washing. For flushing it doesn’t matter. Having improperly sanitized water can cause you your life or health. Millions will die due to thirst or drinking improperly sanitized water. Have a dedicated two gallon pot for boiling water. Do you have power or natural gas or propane to boil water, or do you have to set a fire to boil water?

Number two is, how far away is a river, a lake or a stream? Or do you have snow pack? You will have to haul and transport water back to your home. Is it yards or is it miles? Something my wife bought me for my birthday was a Gorilla Cart. It is able to haul four-five gallon pails as well as supplies and firewood. It has big tires to use on a road or over land. If you don’t have water pressure then you will have to take your various (four to five) five gallon buckets to the stream, river or lake.

Option number three is do you have a well on your land? But is is electric? Power may not be up for several weeks depending on location. Do you have a way to extract water from the ground without power? See what I mean? You have to think outside of the box, where ever you live, however you live and do some major planning prior to a nuclear war? Yes I’m throwing in planning with living post nuclear war.

As soon as you can sanitize, many, well over 50 gallons of potable water, refill your non-potabale gallon jugs for flushing just in case the water pressure expires. I don’t know where you live, so you have to think prior to the event, during the event, and after the event.

LESSON 182–WATER–We can only survive three days without water. So it is imperative that FDN members/evacuees bring their own potable (drinking) and non-potable water supplies. As stated previously each person should have one gallon of potable water per day for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene. FEMA recommends 16 drops of bleach in a gallon of water to make it potable.

FDN recommends that 10 gallons of non-potable water per day for further cooking (boiling), washing and hygiene. Past the point of a family of four having 56 gallons of potable water and 140 gallons of non-potable water for a two week period, then it will be up to Group, Area or Metro to find sources of water. Group, Area and Metro must then transport the water from the source to filtering and treatment, storage and delivery to members and evacuees.

There are different types of sources to transport water, water wheel, hydrostatic pumps, sump pumps and wells are the easiest to use. A 200 person Area with 500 people will need over 2000 gallons of potable water per day for drinking and cooking. Unless there is a filtering and treatment system, then 500 gallons of water will have to be boiled each day.

LESSON 183–BRINGING IN EVACUATION WATER–It is imperative that FDN members bring in their own supplies of potable (drinking) and non-potable water. A two week supply should be maintained also along with a water filter and water purification tablets. The amount of water per day per person is one gallon potable and ten gallons non-potable. Potable water is used for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene (wet cloth) only. Non-potable water is used for further cooking (boiling), washing and hygiene, A family of four would use in two weeks 56 gallons of potable water and 140 gallons of non-potable water.

Just because you have one or two weeks of potable water and a decent amount of non-potable water doesn’t mean that you should rest on your laurels. You should volunteer with the water purification team to find new sources of water that the area or group can share. Remember that a 200 person area needs 500 gallons of potable water and 5000 gallons of non potable per day.

LESSON 184–WATER SOURCES–Whether water sources come from a spring, pond, stream, river, lake, well or rain fall, it is necessary to find a consistent and stable water sources soon after evacuating. There are six components to a water source system: initial delivery, initial storage (non-potable), filtering, treating (chlorination), potable storage and delivery to users.

Initial delivery includes taking water from the source and delivering it to the initial storage by various means. This can be by pumps, water wheels and hydrostatic devices. Regular pumps or sump pumps would require electricity, hence then probably generators with a fuel management system. Water wheels and hydrostatic devices create a self contained pumps which pumps water automatically to the storage container. Initial non-potable storage should be 500-1000 gallons, in other words to start pressure delivery down the line. Storage devices can be 100 or 250 gallon bladders synced in line to each other or 50 gallon barrels synced in line to each other with hoses. These items should be marked non-potable.

LESSON 185–FINDING AND USING EXPEDIENT WATER SOURCES–In most places we know where to find water, treat it and drink it. But what happens if we’re in a situation where we don’t know where water is, but we could locate an expedient water source. Here we will show you various ways of using expedient water sources.

If you are in the desert or temporally stuck in the desert, there are ways to find water in the ground. USING A SEEP: You can find and replenish your water sources by digging a ‘seep’ or dig more that one seep further apart. They can be dug in a winding vegetative stream the darker the vegetation the better. Dig your seep two to three feet wide and about one foot deep. Water should seep into the hole a few gallons at a time, then just use a white t-shirt to filter the sediment, use your water filter and pop in a chlorine tablet. Actually the water is filtered by the ground, so unless there is a lot of alklide, dead bones, or other natural warning signs, the water should be safe to drink. Line the seep with rocks, it helps filter the sediment. Get big flat rocks to cover your seep so that wildlife doesn’t take a drink out of it. Above filtering the sediment is another reason to pack a lot of white t-shirts, another reason is to make expedient field dressings for first aid, see Chapter Three.

Building a Solar Still: For the purpose of making water vapor or distilling water. Dig a fair sized hole, three to four feet wide and about two feet deep, then put a jug with the lid cut off and place it in the bottom of the hole. Place fresh vegetation inside to line the hole. Bring out a clean tarp, dirty tarp=dirty water and then strain and filter. Place four big rocks on each of the corners to hold the tarp down and but a rock in the center to angle the water downward into your jug. The desert heat will bake the underside of the tarp causing evaporation and distillation to take place.

LESSON 186–FILTERING, TREATING AND TESTING WATER–Filtering is done in two parts: one-to take out large organic and non-organic matter (leaves, branches, dirt, pop bottles, etc.) with a pre-filter screen at the water source and clean the grit off it once a week and a second carbon based or charcoal filters to take out most mineral and chemical particulates. Google Culligan, Ecowater, Watersafe, and others offering various types of carbon or charcoal filters systems to set up.

Google or search Culligan, Ecowater, Water Safe and other companies for various carbon/charcoal based filters and systems to set up. Various questions that need to be asked prior to setting up the water purification system. What kind of device is needed from the source to initial non-potable storage? What kind of pipes or hoses are needed to transport to the huge initial storage? What kind of filtering systems and hookups are available? What type of filters are needed? What kind of treatment (choloranation) is available? How is testing done? What kind of potable storage is there? The Area Manager, the Chef and the water purification team should develop a pre-built system–just add pipe.

LESSON 187– BUILDING A NATURAL RESOURCES BASED GRAVITY FILTER: [One inch equals 2.57 cm] Take two blue 55 gallon (200 litre) water barrels, both with lids, then build a robust wood frame with 4"x4"s to hold over 800 pounds (200 kilos). One gallon of water weighs 8 pounds or 4 kilos. The bottom barrel will be three feet (one meter) off the ground, there will be a bibb to hook a hose or a piece of PVC to attach to start a pipe. This hole will be one foot from the bottom of the bottom barrel. The bottom barrel is for filtered gravity water storage. A foot above the bottom barrel the top barrel will be also on the 4"x4"s . There should be six 1/4" going from the bottom of the top barrel into the lid of the bottom barrel. This is where the filtered water flows.

To build the actual filter: in the top barrel, take off the lid and in the bottom of the inside of the barrel place four inches deep of one to two inch clean stones, one half to one inch stones that is four inches deep, four inches of pea gravel, one foot of sand base, six inches of clean black charcoal from fire pits, and then three more inches of one inch rock for erosion inside barrel. Take water from the source (river or lake) and pour pails or use a hose from non-potable storage to fill top barrel. Gravity should create 20 gallons (80 liters) of filtered water in 4 hours. Exchange sand and charcoal every three days.

LESSON 189–HYGIENE SOLUTIONS--Paper Towel Bath: Good hygiene is imperative in a survival situation. It keeps you from getting sick. If you’ve ever gone camping, deployed or gone down range in the military or been in a disaster or have been homeless, then you know how hard it is to stay clean and how easy it is to stay dirty.

This evolution requires four paper towels and two ounces of water to complete. Your paper towels should be tough and sturdy with brands such as Brawny or Bounty, that is something durable and won’t fall apart when it is wet. You will have plenty of washing to do.

Take the first paper towel and wet it with two ounces (100ml) of water and squeeze it somewhat moist. Then you will need to rinse your body parts in the following order: face, ears, neck, chest, arms, legs, underarms, then your groin area. For men wash your penis and between your testicles. For women wash your clitoris and your labia. Finally wash your butt. Throw away the towel. Take two dry towels and dry yourself in the same order. Throw away towel. Then wash and dry your hands with the fourth towel and throw it away.

HOW TO TAKE AN EXPEDIENT SHOWER INSIDE YOUR HOME: Take two-one gallonpails, drill a bunchof 3.8 inchholes in one bucket to become a shower drip for later after fallout. Use the one-one gallon pail to extract a gallon of water from a five gallon bucket to start rinsing a person. That person soaps and shampoos up. Take one to two gallons of water to rins off that person. Think sparingly.. Shoud be albe to take a shower with a drip with three gallons.

LESSON 190–EXPEDIENT SHOWER–As an evacuation camp progresses to a better state of affairs, then expedient showers would be made by using a storage device, such as a pail, clean garbage pail, blister bag or other device. The simplest device would be to use a pail and drill 3/8" holes in the bottom, hang it from a tree and viola, one expedient shower-simple. Pour in one gallon (4 litres) of filtered non-potable water for washing and one gallon for rinsing. These gallons come out of non-potable water ration.

The next type expedient shower has a 30 gallon blister bag or bladder put on a wooden X-frame and the bottom of the bag has a triangle pull rod with a shower head. When you need water pull the triangle rod down to get wet to wash or rinse with five seconds of water. The only problem with these first two showers is that they would be ambient (room or outdoor) temperature. Good in hot weather but lousy in cold weather.

The fanciest type of expedient shower would have the 30 gallon blister bag or bladder with a source point water heater from propane and with a shower head and triangle pull rod for five seconds of 90 degree (20 celcius) water on demand in five second increments. There would have to be scheduled times for men, women, children and special needs if needed.

The shower area should have canvas walls but not necessarily a roof. There should be eight showers for a 200 person area with a possible total population of 500. There should be shelves for soap and shampoo. There should be plenty of extra hooks for towels and clothes. There should be some kind of separating walls between the showers for some privacy. There should be a treated plywood floor that is at a slight angle for drainage as well as slits every two feet to facilitate drainage. There are to be drainage pits constructed below the treated 2x4 inch frame and floor that has large rocks on the bottom and smaller stones on top of the pit. The shower area should be built in a straight line so that easy access can be had for bladder refilling. See Lesson 167 for further guidance on showers and hygiene.

LESSON 191–SHOWER TENTS–These are temporary structures, probably a canvas army tent with a heater and six to eight shower stalls. Unless pressured water is piped in then gravity fed bladder or blister bags with propane heaters and a triangle pull rod hanging on x-frames in the center of the tent. A hallway would be on the exterior of the inside of the tent. There would be shower stalls and dressing rooms inside the center of the tent. An access area would be needed somewhere to refill the bladders. Dressing rooms would have hooks and shelves for clothes and stalls would have a shelf for soap and shampoo.

Drainage would consist of either a two foot deep rock pit with big rocks on the bottom and stones on top. A slight graded treated plywood floor with slits in it would be built on a 2x4 inch frame. Another way is to be hooked into the Area sanitary sewer system to the lagoons. It is unknown if grey water retrieval can be used for re-use of the water due to soaps in the water. See Lesson __ on grey water.

LESSON 192–SHOWER HUTS: Shower huts are a more permanent structure to give showers to a 200 person Area (500 census) area. There would probably be a few eight or twelve stall huts for the Area. These huts would either be self-contained or fed by a potable water system and drained into a lagoon or grey water treatment system.

Each hut wether it has eight or twelve stalls has one sided 2x4 walls to easily access plumbing. Stalls will be back to back will a small changing room outside the showers and hooks for clothes and towels. Put horizontal block 2x4s in between studs to have little shelves for shop and shampoo. Have one hook in stall for a washcloth. Install lights, heat and paint. Clean showers per instructions in Lesson 165.

 

LAUNDRY: OK, you haven’t figured it out yet. You need a couple of those five gallon buckets to do laundry. And a sanitized black plunger to agitate the laundry inside the bucket to make the laundry and soap go around. Make sure that you have liquid laundy soap. You might have to go primitive and use a wash boardor even wash againt bigrocks. Just survive and thrive.

Please read the other Nuclear pages on this website.

Purchase and store what you can afford. Two weeks is the bare minimum to store for nuclear war survival. But warehouses, trucks, and stores may not be open or working right away. So try to get three to five weeks worth of food and supplies in total. If you can get more, that is even better.

DRINKS:

Potable water: One gallon per person per day. A few weeks worth.

Water filter and a gallon of bleach. 16 drops of bleach per gallon of water.

Non-potable water: Over 50 gallons. See other pages.

Sports drinks: Two cases-your choice.

Soda pop: Your quanity, your choice.

Concentrated milk: A few cans. Use opened up can immediately

Pedialyte: Have a few if you have children or keep around for dehydratration.

Protien/energy drinks: a couple of cases.

Baby formula: if needed.

FOOD:

Canned meats, canned vegtables, canned fruits, canned soups, stews and chilis: Over two weeks, hopefully three to four weeks of supplies.

Potatoes, noodles, crackers, apples, salt and pepper, spices.

Other foods as needed.

MEDICINES:

If you follow the news or get various alerts on your phone, you should be able to keep up with global affairs and the potential for nuclear attack. The rhetoric should build to a daily use a week before the actual attack. This should give you plenty of time to finish your planning and preparations.

If you take prescription medications, then you should always be ready to refill during a time of crisis to have your prescriptions filled to the top. If you can get a 90 day prescription on something then do so. During or after the nuclear war, you might run low on pills, so you might have to ration your pills or wean your self of various pills if needed. That is, until another pharmacy can open up and you can get refill.

Make sure to have plenty of over-the-counter pain, allergy and cold medications, vitamins, and supplements. You will find out that some prescription medicines have a generic over-the-counter brand. Plus certian vitamins and suppliments are good for pain, such as D3 and Tumeric; suppliments such as cinnamon and garlic are good for the heart. So do some research on what is good for what.

Have a couple months worth of these pills to make it until civilization can restart properly.

CLOTHES:

As far as clothes go, there are different scenarios on the amount of clothes that you need. 1. Are you bugging in? That is you are making a hard shelter or an expedient fallout shelter in your home and you are far enough away from a ground zero nuclear explosion. 2. Are you bugging out lite? That is you live in or close to ground zero and you have to evacuate to somewhere else and stay with them. You are probably walking or catching a ride and relying on just a big or medium backpack. 3. Are you bugging out heavy? That is you are evacuating with a vehicle or two and you live close to ground zero and you are packing as many items as possible.

For Scenario One, the amount of clothes that you would need for yourself for two weeks inside your fallout shelter would be two sets of jeans extra, four undershirts, three outer shirts, four pairs of socks, five pair of underwear. You would want to air out these clothes as the two weeks goes on and re-wear them as needed. Babies, small children, the disabled and the elderly might need more sets of clothes to have in the shelter. After the two weeks you would be able to use the rest of your clothes inside of your home. If clothes get really dity put them in a 13 gallon white plastic bag and set them outside of the shelter.

For Scenario Two, the amount of clothes is what you can fit inside your medium or big backpack. But suggested items are, four pairs of socks, three pairs of underwear, three undershits, two outer shirts, and an extra pair of jeans. This scenario is if you would be staying with someone else or you can create your own shelter elsewhere.

For Scenario Three, the amount of clothes would be the same as number one, but take the supplies out of your vehicles and store them inside somewhere, maybe being used to build the shelter.

Laundry-post fallout shelter: Items that you will need: Five gallon bucket purchased from hardware store (buy a few), clean black plunger (new or sterilized)–this is to agitate the clothes in the bucket, liquid laundry soap, and if you can find a laundry screen to rub the clothes against. Further instructions will be on page four. Make sure that tap water is safe, if you have any, or use river or lake water, but filter and bleach first. 16 drops per gallon of water.

OTHER ITEMS TO HAVE:

Remember stores may not be open for a couple of weeks. Transportation may be an issue.

Flashlights: You should have one for each person inside the shelter over 10 years of age. Use them sparingly. Have at least three sets of extra batteries for whichever size the flashlights are.

Battery powered AM/FM(/SW) radio: Make sure to have at least two extra sets of batteries for it. Use only to get updates and news at first, various stations.

Box of 13 gallon trash bags

Baby diapers (if needed). Probably change the baby quickly outside the shelter. Have a 13 gallon bag for trash outside the shelter.

Baby wipes, they come in handy, use sparingly.

A few rolls of paper towels, preferably thicker types, to do body washes.

Pet food and supplies.

Well over a dozen rolls of toilet paper. This will be a hot commodity.

Salt, pepper and a couple other spices.

Silverware and plastic ware. Sharp knife.

Paper plates and bowls.

Can opener. Have a spare.

Five-five gallon buckets to haul water.

A few one gallon pails to do different things. One to soak silverware.

Air spray (one shot), perfume and cologne (use sparingly).

Dish soap.

What else can you think of?

More items will be covered on page four, “Thriving after Fallout.”

Your family should definitely think and prepare about surviving weeks three thru six, and then learning to thrive past that point. Life and stores will not be as before. It all depends on transportation and power. Plus if a full nuclear attack happens, expect 100-130 million deaths from the initial explosion, fallout-radiation sickness, medical sustainment-lack of power, lack of clean water and food.

Go onto YouTube and search Prepper, survival and nuclear channels, and learn all that you can before its too late.

FAMILY NUCLEAR SURVIVAL PART TWO-December 12, 2021

How to Survive Inside your Fallout Shelter (THE BASICS)

Share these pages with others, post, text, tweet, etc.

Do your homework first, then you can e-mail me for questions or opinion.

THE AUTHOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEATH, INJURY OR ANY OTHER MATTER BECAUSE OF WAR, NUCLEAR WAR OR THE EFFECTS THERE OF!

On another blogspot post, I showed how to build a concrete nuclear fallout shelter in your basement. Go to Family Nuclear Plans in April 2019 in the blogspot above. But not everyone has a basement, so improvise. I posted Family Nuclear War Planning on the website and blogspot which describes on how to build a fallout shelter out of various household items if you don’t have a basement.

In my opinion nuclear war is survivable, that is it is properly planned for and if you are properly aware of current events and the threats. If you do not live in the center of a large city or by a military base, which are the most likely targets by the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans, then you have a high survivable rate as long as you can find or build a proper fallout shelter. There are 44 ICBM interceptors in Alaska which have a 50% chance of hitting a incoming missile.

The scenario has switched in the other page/post from China vs. Taiwan to Russia vs. Ukraine. Russia has 120,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and is threatening to invade Ukraine because it doesn’t want Ukraine to join NATO or to be in the sphere of the EU. NATO and the EU have given diplomatic support and some arms and training to Ukraine. U.S. intelligence has determined that over 175,000 Russian troops have to be involved to invade Ukraine successfully. This is over one half of their ground forces. There would be a conventional war for a few weeks until one side weakens. If Russia weakens and reinforces the Ukraine theatre or they might start problems with the Balkans (Serbia) or Baltics (Latvia, etc.). This is not the only scenario out there right now. There is also China vs. Taiwan and India plus Israel vs. Iran are still in play. See newsletter. I have determined that there is a probability of 30% that there will be a nuclear explosion in 2022. More like World War Three somehow.

Either you have built a bunker in your basement or (that you will) an expedient fallout shelter in your living room or basement or elsewhere in your home or you have bugged out to a shelter elsewhere. Either I have told you that the risk or probability of a nuclear attack is great or you have heard the rhetoric from which ever country that has started the event. You now have to secure your family into your fallout shelter for a period of two weeks, maybe a little more, depending on how many salvos of missiles have flown back and forth. It would be two weeks from the last explosion from information on the radio. Try to use the AM band (530-1710 MHz.) and find clear channel stations from 540 to 900 MHz. Make sure to share these pages with family, friends and neighbors.

There should be several hours to a few days warning that a nuclear attack (war) is coming due to the rhetoric coming from various countries. In the other Nuclear post, I showed you some items to have inside your shelter, such as a battery powered radio, flashlights, water and food. So make sure to read that post too. Make sure to read the blogspot, www.fdnintelreps.blogspot.com , navigate 72 pages for various survival, disaster preparedness information. If it’s still December 2021 or January 2022 and the wars haven’t started yet and you want Advanced Survival information, it’s in “Family Pre-Disaster Manual” or “Prepper’s Guide” at www.amazon.com/author/redbecker navigate site. This is on Amazon, Kindle, KOLL, and Nook.

HOW TO SURVIVE FOR TWO WEEKS INSIDE YOUR SHELTER–It is best to prepare over three months or more, but do what you can, when you can, with what you can afford.

There are several topics that are covered in this section, sleeping arrangements, the toilet, nourishment and hydration, garbage, hygiene, supplies, communications, medications and first aid. Before people enter the shelter, make sure that they are clean and haven’t been exposed to fallout outside of the home. If someone has been outside and been exposed to fallout, then shed clothes outside and dispose in plastic bag and take a shower real quick, make sure to shampoo hair. www.ready.gov. Check preparations for nuclear explosions on that site for before, during and after instructions. Go to Make A Plan, scroll to Disasters and Emergencies, and then scroll to Nuclear Explosion to get information.

 

Sleeping arrangements will differ depending on how much room that you have and how big your family is, as well if you have a bunker or if you have an expedient shelter. If you have a bunker, your sleeping arrangements will probably be a little more roomy, than a three or four foot wide and 10 foot long expedient shelter that might be only three foot high. That is why you need to think ahead about how big your shelter needs to be and how many people will be in it. If you can use 2"x4"s and plywood to create the roof of your shelter, make sure to nail or screw it some, to create a bigger, sturdier shelter.

Get whichever mattresses that will fit the best to serve the purpose of the shelter. You will need to be comfortable, be able to stretch and turn over when needed. As far as coming out of the expedient shelter for the two weeks there are only certain reasons, such as using the toilet-do not flush all the time, use jug water as described in other post/page, doing basic hygiene-paper towel wash, throwing out the garbage into another room and first aid if needed. Limit your stays outside of the shelter to five minutes. As the Gamma radiation decays over the two weeks and if the local radio gives you better instructions on what the radiation dosage is in your community, then you might be able to go out of the shelter for very short periods of time.

The first day after the first and last explosion is very critical, the next three days are critical, the next three days are very serious, the next seven days are serious. By then the radio should be able to clear your community of radiation. It takes at least two weeks for the radiation to decay to a safe level.

On how to use the toilet. As I said before, you will have five minutes or less to use the toilet, because you have to go. So make it quick, do not flush unless it gets bad or too much toilet paper. Use the 50 gallons of jug water to flush the toilet. So for a family of five, you would flush the toilet probably three times a day. Make sure to use air spray and close the lid. You can also fill up the bathtub with water and use a pail to fill toilet tank. You can also use the water from the hot water tank for toilet water. Turn off the gas for now.

Nourishment and hydration. You should have canned and foods that don’t need to be cooked for two to four weeks, because after the fallout, the stores probably won’t be open for a while. So you should plan for a longer time. Ration your food to 1200 calories a day on an adult. Most adults will be able to stand this ration for a few weeks. Smaller children and pregnant women need more nourishment. Have plenty of potable (bottled or jug) drinking water for two to four weeks. The ration is one gallon per person per day. Have a few silverware, sharp knives, and a can opener, but use plastic ware that you can re-wash with jug water from bathroom stocks. Take five minutes at some point to wash silverware and plastic ware. Use paper plates and bowls. Make sure to think of other supplies that you will need such as hygiene, baby and feminine uses. Place your supplies under a table on the far end of the shelter. Arrange the supplies, like with like and in a way that you can find them easily. Conserve battery power. Use flashlights only when needed and the radio for updates.

This comes to garbage. Use 13 gallon white plastic bags. Toss it all unless it cleans easily. Take a couple minutes to toss the garbage into another room. Use air spray.

Matters concerning hygiene. Everyone entering the fallout shelter should have had a recent shower or bath, because it will be two weeks or more until the next one. This is because your water system may have gone off line, depending on where you live. You do not want to use tap water during the fallout time since it may be irradiated.

If it’s winter, there is a possibility that the electricity and heat may be out depending on location. So you will want to dress warm and have a few changes of clothes to wear. Have some perfume or cologne to wear lightly if needed to help with odors.

Paper towel bath. Once a day after day two, do a paper towel bath. Take a paper towel, wash your face, chest, any skin folds, armpits, groin and butt. Throw paper towel away. Take two paper towels and dry yourself off in same manner. Wash your hands and throw away paper towel. Help children or disabled with this. You only have about five minutes to wash, dry and change any clothes. Brush your teeth or comb your hair at another time. Try to fit various hygiene items during toilet breaks. But make it fast. I wouldn’t worry about shaving for a couple of weeks.

As far as supplies are concerned, you and your family need to think outside of the box. You need two weeks, preferably a few weeks, of potable (drinkable) water, food, dry goods and supplies. One gallon per person per day. Having four weeks is best. Buy a gallon of bleach to disinfect water later. Remember that stores will be empty before the nuclear war if panic sets in and stores will take a while to restart back up after the nuclear war. So it would be prudent to have one to two months of food and supplies. See the supply lists on the blogspot and navigate. As I said above, for Advanced Survival see my books on Amazon.

Communications: Your mobile phones will probably not work for two reasons, the cell towers are out due to EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse), and so are the phones themselves, if they do work just text. Texting takes less bandwidth. Make your last posts on social media a few days before the attack happens and share these web pages. Just before the attack text to whoever that you will be safe and see them in two weeks. Say the same on social media. Share the web pages again.

Battery powered radio is the most reliable source for information while you are in your shelter. Find out which stations will be on to give out constant information or if they go to a partial hours format. Find stations that will give the most news and information. Distant clear channel AM and local. Remember some stations may go off the air sometimes due to a lack of fuel.

If you have time, and feel inclined buy some GMRS Family two-way radios. Maybe that way you can communicate with in the city or town. On the high channels you can reach 10-20 miles. If you have a scanner, find local HAM frequencies. They talk long distances.

Medicines and First Aid: If you have prescriptions, then try to get them all refilled prior to the attack. Buy plenty of over the counter medicines and vitamins and supplements then also. Some of those can sometimes replace medicines temporarily. Have a good sized first aid kit plus extra bandaids, dressings and tape. A list is on blogspot.

Pets: I’m not sure what to say about pets. Cats can take care of themselves, move litter box to an inside room and shut the door. Feed and water every three days. Dogs might need a kennel inside a hallway and told to relieve themselves on a puppy pad. It will be too dangerous to go outside, plus then you will have to decontaminate yourself. Decontamination is above. You are just going to have to think outside of the box to take care of your pets. Remember you can only expose yourself to radiation for only five minutes at a time for a few times a day.

LIFE AFTER THE RADIATION: For this whole event, before, during, and after, you, your family, and others will have to think outside of the box to survive and thrive. If you thought that COVID-19 events, supply problems and inflation were bad, just wait.

Tens of millions of people are going to die, especially in the big cities or by military bases. Not everybody will be able to get out, or even know about the event/attack until it is too late. Millions more will die from radiation poisoning, lack of power-medical sustainment, drinkable water, lack of food, medical concerns, etc. So be prepared for lots of death and missing people.

It just depends what of the infrastructure and supply system survives, and how long it take to revive the rest of it. Will it take a couple of weeks or a couple of months? No one knows. The country will never be the same and we probably inflicted as much damage on those countries who inflicted damage on us. If all three scenarios went sideways and south about the same time, then when it went nuclear, then there were probably six salvos of missiles and a dozen countries received damage.

ON WATER: The water and electric systems may not be on for a while, so you will have to make do, or find alternative sources of water. That brings up that you should have several five gallon buckets and a few one gallon pails. Get these at a hardware store. If you have to go to a river or lake to get water, then you will have pails. If for toilet, then no problem, just flush. To drink and wash you will have to filter with a t-shirt and treat with bleach at 16 drops per gallon or boil it. Use one gallon pails to wash silverware and plates etc. Use water sparingly. Think outside of the box.

 

ON GENERATORS: I wrote about generators in my blogspot post. But there I said to put the generator in the garage and vent with pipe to the outside. DO NOT DO this. Carbon monoxide. Take it at least 20 foot outside to run. A 3500 watt generator will run the average home, but you will need to rotate the appliances due to starting surges. But it needs to be secure also. I have my generator on a small concrete pad, with steel fence posts around it. I have several three gallon gas cans with Stabil it the gasoline chained to my fence. When I use my generator, I secure it with the heavy chain and heavy padlock to the fence posts by wrapping around. I use 12 gauge extension cords. I drilled holes into my house to put extension cords into the house and sealed the holes.

If it’s December, January or February, take the time now to prepare before the scenarios get bad, go sideways and south. Do all the homework that you can on various topics.

FDN INTELREP and NEWSLETTER 38-06, Monday, November 15, 2021, since 1984

Welcome to Family Disaster Network (FDN). We are your personal Pre-Disaster Planning source. We have five books on Amazon and Kindle global and four books on Nook. You can order books also at any bookstore. Kindle has the Lending Library for those who have this option. Can YOUR FAMILY evacuate in three minutes and survive for seven days on your own?? NO, either get a book or go to the FREE INFORMATION on Blogspot and navigate 70 pages to find out more. I will have my sixth book “2022 Prepper’s Guide” with 253 lessons to come out next year. Our website is listed above and please visit it. We hope to have “GLOBAL OPTICS” news and information videos on YouTube and Facebook soon also.

IN THIS ISSUE:

On our website, we just published “Family Nuclear War Survival”, which is how to build a fallout shelter if you don’t have a basement.

China versus Taiwan and India, see International Circumstances Code Emerald.

Ukraine versus Russia, see same.

Israel versus Iran and proxies, see same.

The new Poland versus Belarus stalemate, see same.

NETWORK POSITIONS OPEN: See the Blogspot and tag Staffing Disasters or Networking to see what local, state or national positions are open.

There are currently over 28 #globalhotspots, with usually eight on fire or boiling to a point that a major war could break out within 3 weeks if scenarios failed and possibly to a #WW3 #SHTF #preppers event.

We are our own private intelligence agency. With Twitter (@familydisaster) alone, we’re currently in over 50 countries with sources and over 1,000 followers. Follow us please. We also get news from over 30 global news networks with varying styles to get information and news. So we see the Left and the Right as well as other opinions and split it down the middle. We’re in over 50 countries.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: The U.S. Main Stream Media (MSM) do NOT usually cover the various #globalhotspots or CODES listed below unless there is a hot situation or it might show up on various crawlers on Fox News, CNN and ABC News. You need international news on YouTube.

FDN CURRENT ALERT SYSTEM HIGH CODE: See Blogspot for further information on ALERT CODES.

INTERNATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES CODE COBALT (ICCE)/GREEK STEP DELTA with a TWO WEEKS WATCH and three MONTHS of supplies needed. This is due to the above statement on #globalhotspots and #COVID19 plus various political and race situations globally. The DOOMSDAY CLOCK is currently at 100 SECONDS due the same items plus environmental scenarios. It has never been this close to MIDNIGHT!! FDN and other #OSINT community members on Twitter estimate that there is a 20% chance of some kind of #Nuclear explosion in 2021 and a 30% chance in 2022. The (ICCC) is alerted because there are SEVEN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES CODE EMERALD (ICCE) for 1. China versus Taiwan and India; 2. China-9-dash-line and Belt and Road situations in South China Sea; 3. Ukraine vs. Russia situation since 2014; 4. Israel/Iran/Syria/terrorism situations; 5. North Korea #DPRK Nuclear and war threats; 6. Turkey/Libya/Greece/Egypt/Mediterranean Sea situations; and 7. The new Poland/Belarus stalemate over illegal refugees that can spill over into Russia/Ukraine.

FDN ALERT SYSTEM SECOND CODE (overall global code): There are TWO CODE MANDARINS for U.S. or allied combat for over a year in the following locations or Operations: 1. Global War on Terror (GWOT) for generalized Anti-/Counter-Terrorism Operations around the world especially in the Middle East and Africa since October 7, 2001. U.S. KIA: 22 2. Operation Inherent Resolve since 2014 in Iraq and Syria against ISIS/Daesh. U.S. KIA: 21 (NOTE: Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn U.S. KIA: 3,128. September 11, 2001 killed was 2,977 in three locations. NOTE: Every week the U.S. has more people killed from #COVID19 than 9-11-01 and all operations since then.)

TERTIARY CODE: INTERNATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES CODE EMERALD (ICCE)(Seven): 1. Taiwan with 5 other countries vs. China. To China, Taiwan is a rebel Province. They want to attack and invade Taiwan, but that would cause a wider war. Chinese air force and naval forces have made various forays into Taiwan’s waters and air space. 1 (tie). India and alliances vs Pakistan and China. Pakistan is part of the Chinese CPAC and Road and Belt project. India and Pakistan have had various wars over the last 8 decades. Both countries as well as China have nuclear weapons and missiles, well over 200 each. India and China are also have a border spat. 2. China also has the 9-dash-line in the South China Sea as well as the Belt and Road project, if Taiwan was to kick off, then various countries in the South China Sea would also be involved such as Vietnam, Philippines, and Malaysia. China vs. a lot of Pacific nations. China expanded to its 9 Dash Line in the South China Sea building up islands into military bases and wanting to seize territory of other nations. They also have the infamous Road and Belt program. They will build infrastructure for your country but you owe them subservience. Remember they are also having a row with India on the border and there have been several skirmishes. Also China has 50 2 megaton City Buster nuclear weapons, where each one could destroy a 10 mile radius. They are targeting the U.S. The U.S. with 5 to 15 other nations are against China in their adventures.

—OVER—

 3. Ukraine vs. Russia. This 7 year war in eastern Ukraine, where the Russian speaking Oblasts of Donestk and Luhansk as well and the annexed Crimea are fighting the rest of Ukraine. This is mostly a sniper and artillery war with casualties on both sides whereby the front lines are mostly static. Last summer the Russians sent tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks to the northeastern border of Ukraine, then they left. Last week they once again sent 90,000 troops to the border region again with more armor.

 4. Israel with U.S. help vs. Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, Syria, Houthis, others. There have been various rocket attacks from the Gaza strip and bombing responses by Israel to Gaza. The last major war was in 2014. Hezbollah in Lebanon has over 100,000 rockets aimed at Israel. Iran with Russia, China, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis and others versus the U.S., U.K., KSA, Israel and some Gulf States. There maybe other countries involved depending on a war and which tankers get attacked in the Gulf. Iran is expanding their nuclear program and enriching uranium to a 60% level. Their proxies (terrorists in Iraq and Syria) have bombed and launched rockets at U.S. and coalition troops.

5. Korea: DPRK (North) with Russia, China and Iran vs. ROK (South), U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Australia and other countries. DPRK has Hwasong 14 and 15 as well as RoDong3 missiles that can reach the U.S. But there are 44 interceptors with 50% reliability.

6. Turkey, a rebel NATO member attacks the Kurdish peoples in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. They are becoming friendly with Iran and Russia. We have a nuclear weapons site at the U.S. air base in Incrilik. NATO has the LANDCOM Hqs in Izmir. They also attack Syria positions a lot. They even mistakenly shot down a Russian helicopter last year in Syria. Libya is having a civil war which is very confusing because various countries or ententes that follow the LNA or GNA are usually allies in other endeavors.

7. Belarus imported various illegal refugees from Iraqi Kurdistan and other places by agent or coyote. They placed the refugees on the Polish border to try to enter the EU, but Poland put up fences and troops to stop the tide. They threaten to bring another 10,000 more to the border. But this is linked to Russia and Ukraine, as the media will be busy with the refugees and not be paying attention to the invasion of Ukraine until it is too late. This can also spread if Belarus goes with Russia to enter a kinetic war with NATO in the Baltics and Poland. The Baltic Countries of Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania vs. Russia. These are NATO countries on the Russian border. If the Middle East or Ukraine were to go south, Russia might take steps to invade the Baltics thru the Swiliaki Gap to rescue the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. This would cause massive tank and artillery battles and cause WW3 and Nuclear War.

OTHER FDN ALERT CODES: CODE SILVER:

EVEN though we are at a GLOBAL ICCC GREEK STEP DELTA with a 2 week watch, what this means is that in 2 weeks, any 2 weeks, that scenarios in any of these below #GLOBALHOTSPOTS could escalate to a point of boiling over from a #COLDWAR 2 to a #WW3 #SHTF #NUCLEAR EVENT. SO watch the news or pay attention and follow our Twitter account at @familydisaster. We have daily updates.

A. Venezuela with Russia, China and Cuba vs. U.S., Brazil and Colombia. There has been a re-coup on an election a couple years ago that the dictator decided not to step down. The west is helping the rebels who won the election although Maduro has not stepped down.

B-E. African Terrorism: ISIS in Africa, Al-Shabbab in Somalia, Answar Dine in Mali, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb. These various terrorist groups are loosely affiliated with ISIS and try to overthrow various countries. They also kill thousands of Christians in 8 countries , burn villages and churches and well as pillage and rape. U.S. AFRICOM has several thousand Special Forces and support troops in various countrias trying to stabilize the legitimate governments.

F. Yemen. The rebel Houthis declared war against the government of Yemen a few years ago and have caused havoc in many cities and villages. They have mostly stopped effective humanitarian aid to the civilian population. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is supporting the Yemeni government and Iran is supporting the Houthis. The Houthis send missiles and drones over to KSA with damaging results. By which the KSA bombs the rebel positions. In Yemen and Saudi Arabia, there still is a proxy war between the Yemeni Houthis backed by Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Many missiles and drones have been fired at KSA and they have responded by bombing the Houthis. Plus the Yemeni civil war is expanding into more areas of Yemen.

G. ANOTHER ITEM TO WORRY ABOUT IS U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING. The federal debt is now at $30.8 trillion and with a new which includes another $1.4 trillion in FY2021 deficit spending, the federal debt will balloon to $33 trillion by FY 2023 in October 2022. This would be 135% of the U.S. Gross National Product (GNP). If this spending continues for the next few years with multiple billion dollar disasters, multiple wars on going and possible economic recession the future FY 2024 budget would be 40% for DOD, DVA, DHS, DOJ, State Dept. and Treasury Dept.; 30% for the remaining Departments and Agencies and the remaining 30% will have to pay down the debt on a balanced budget.

There are more CODE SILVERS and #globalhotspots. MOST OF THESE GLOBALHOTSPOTS CAN ADVANCE TO NUCLEAR WAR!!!

They’res 13 more #globalhotspots that haven’t been talked about. See my pinned tweet/thread on Twitter.

Stay Frosty and keep your head on a swivel. Pay attention please.

FAMILY NUCLEAR WAR PLANNING November 11, 2021

How to have a radiation proof space if you don’t have a basement to build a shelter. This will be on the website and blogspot.

On another blogspot post, I showed how to build a concrete nuclear fallout shelter in your basement. Go to Family Nuclear Plans in April 2019 in the blogspot above. But not everyone has a basement so improvise.

In my opinion nuclear war is survivable, that is it is properly planned for and if you are properly aware of current events and the threats. If you do not live in the center of a large city or by a military base, which are the most likely targets by the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans, then you have a high survivable rate as long as you can find or build a proper fallout shelter. There are 44 ICBM interceptors in Alaska which have a 50% chance of hitting a incoming missile.

The scenario: The biggest scenario out there at the present moment is the China versus Taiwan and India scenario. China wants to attack and invade Taiwan, and also wants to attack India over border problems. U.S. intelligence states that China will attack Taiwan by late 2022. China is holding the winter Olympics in Beijing in February 2022, but it may be boycotted some due to the internment of the Muslim Uighurs in Western China.

If and when China invades Taiwan, the war in the beginning would mostly be conventional. That means troops, planes, tanks, and ships. But many countries such as the U.S., Japan, Australia, U.K., Philippines and others have said that would defend Taiwan. It would also be a war of anti-ship and anti-plane missiles. If China was to lose too many (400) planes and (200) ships, then they would lose honor and face in this war that they started and they would start to retaliate by threatening to use a nuclear first strike option.

There is also another scenario out there that popped back up. Russia has placed an extra 90,000 troops on the Ukranian border with a potential to invade further. Over the past seven years they already have taken over Crimea, Donestk, and Luhansk oblasts where two are currently fighting with Ukraine. Plus the Polish/Belarus standoff because of Kurdish and other refugees has a possibility of going to a kinetic war. Follow Twitter @familydisaster @EndGameWW3 @theragex for current information on global events. You should study on the internet about nuclear war, radioactive fallout, preparedness, etc. There are also many videos on YouTube. For general prepping see @CanadianPrepper and @CityPrepper.

So that means that there would be a few weeks from the start of the war for you to start preparing your family for potential nuclear fallout. There will be several salvos of missiles going both ways from six countries. If you live in a big city or a close to a military base, then you should try to find another place that is more than 30 miles away from ground zero. Bug out to the countryside. Do you know anyone? Suburb cities should be unscathed but will have fallout.

Now to the meat of preparing a fallout survival shelter for your family in your home. You will need to build your fallout shelter on the lowest level of the home, in the center of it also. The more space away from the radioactive fallout (Gamma rays), the better off that you will be. Another thing to mitigate fallout is the thickness of the fallout shelter. Take stock of what you have in your home that you can use to create the thickness of the fallout shelter. Couches, big tables, bookshelves, mattresses, chairs, boxes of stuff, doors, buy 2"x4"s and some plywood, plastic and duct tape. You will want to make your fallout shelter big enough for each family member to lay down with staggered sleeping. Have smaller mattresses to lay on with plenty of pillows, blankets for it will be 14 plus days that you will be in your shelter until the radiation lowers itself due to half life.

Oh, yes, the question, the bathroom. It will probably be hard to go inside the shelter, so use the regular toilet, but do NOT flush all the time. Go quickly, limit exposure. Have plenty of jugs of water to flush as needed. Save juice, tea and juice jugs, rinse out, and mark on them, “FLUSH ONLY”, and have around 50 gallons for that two weeks. Also have plenty of extra batteries for your flashlights and portable radios. Stock the shelter with plenty of non-perishable food. You will want to get your supplies before or just as the war starts. See other blogspot posts.

You will need a thickness of more than two feet on top and sides and it deters the Gamma radiation. So maybe use the inside portion of your living or family room. Put regular chairs, dining and living room, and place the backs away from the wall. Place boxes of items on them and smaller boxes under them. Use your dining room table or other bigger table for one end of the shelter. Put a couch three to four feet away from the chairs with the back towards the backs of the other chairs. The mattresses will be in the middle. Place 2x4s first if needed, then plywood or use doors on top. Put boxes and storage containers on top of that. Put more boxes, books, etc. on and around the couch and rest of the shelter. Have a chair that you can push in and out on the other end that has a few boxes on it so you can use the bathroom. Go very quickly. Do not flush all the time, use spray. Put your water, food and supplies under the table on one end.

You should definitely think about how you would build your shelter before the war actually happens. Stay aware of current events and the news and use Twitter @familydisaster that this war is going to happen or is happening. You may only have hours to a day to get your shelter built.

Some supplies that you will need for the shelter for a period of two to four weeks and you should think of beyond that are non-perishable food, one potable gallon of water per person per day for two to four weeks, a water filter, fifty gallons of non potable water outside of the shelter for flushing, gallon of bleach, flashlights with extra batteries, battery powered radio with extra batteries, paper and plastic products, 13 gallon trash bags, hygiene products, medicines, first aid kit with extra bandages and gauze, and several sets of clothes per person.
