You Can Survive a Nuclear Blast – Here’s How
You Can Survive a Nuclear Blast and a Dirty Bomb Attack
People are still alarmingly fearful of radiation from a significant nuclear attack and from smaller terrorist weapons. The fear created by the bombs can have a more substantial impact than the bombs themselves. The thought of a nuclear attack is a scary one.
We don’t sell things based on fear, so we don’t want to alarm you but to tell you some facts. You can only prepare with knowledge, but don’t dive into a fear-based reaction. An “I know what to do” reaction is better. The effects of certain situations can be challenging to anticipate, and they can cause serious harm.
Understanding what might come next gives you a massive advantage over those who need to prepare. We want to offer guidance on preparing for a nuclear attack.
There is a heightened alert in the USA, which most already know. The NTI Nuclear Security Index, for the first time, finds that nuclear security conditions are regressing among the dozens of countries and areas with weapons-usable nuclear materials and nuclear facilities. This erosion of nuclear security comes at a time when risk environments are growing more dangerous, and overall stockpiles of weapons-usable nuclear materials are increasing at an alarming rate.
We can survive a nuclear attack. Our chances heavily depend on how close we are to the explosion site. Use this tool to see how far you live by dropping bombs in this simulation, and you can get an idea of how far you might be outside of a blast zone and what to expect. You may be very close if you live next door to a military base. If you live near the financial district of New York City, that could be a drop zone, sorry to say.
Use this tool to detonate nuclear bombs and see the fireball blast radius and the fallout radius.
FBI Director Christopher Wray – 10/31/2023
“We are not currently tracking an imminent, credible threat from a foreign terrorist organization, a structured attack here or something like that, but it is something that we think heightened vigilance is warranted for,” he said. “It is a time to be concerned,” he said. “We are in a dangerous period.”
“Our top concern stems from lone offenders inspired by, or reacting to, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, as they pose the most likely threat to Americans, especially Jewish, Muslim, and Arab-American communities in the United States,” Wray said.
AFTER A NUCLEAR BOMB IS DETONATED
- Get inside quickly! Depending on the distance from the blast, you have between 10 and 30 minutes to get inside before the fallout begins to reach you. All circumstances will depend on how close you are to the blast zone. Find the nearest brick or concrete structure to protect yourself from radiation. Make sure your pets stay inside as well. Look for one with windows and doors intact.
- If your building has windows, doors, and structural damage and you see a building nearby that you know you can access and get there quickly, get there fast, but please don’t panic.
- Brick and concrete are the best places to go. If your basement has concrete blocks, you can go into the basement. Anything at the underground level is good, too. If not go into the most interior section of the building and always avoid doors and windows. Stay away from the outer walls and roof.
- Turn off the heating, air conditioning, or anything that brings air inside the house. Close all windows. Cover any areas where air might seep in. Do this quickly. You want to be as far away from windows as possible when the fallout comes down. If you don’t have time, skip covering areas where air might get in.
- When inside, find anything to surround yourself with; use it as a barrier. It all blocks radiation. Push the couch to the middle of the room and everything you can find to surround yourself. If you are at work, advise everyone to get to the safest location and push desks, copiers, filing cabinets, and everything else available into the middle of the room in a circle. Have everyone immediately go to the center of the circle.
- If you were outdoors after the fallout began and didn’t get inside in time, take off any contaminated clothes and wash or clean any skin and hair that may have been exposed before entering the safe location. Put the clothes in a plastic bag for examination later.
- Email us for a printable, simple-to-read flyer. YOU COULD EMAIL US, AND WE WILL SEND YOU A DOCUMENT TO PUT ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FOR EACH EMPLOYEE. We created this so everyone knows what to do if they are at work or home and an attack happens.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED:
Time Matters – The Rule of 7 – Radiotypes decay by a tenfold decrease every 7 hours. Stay in your space for a minimum of 24 hours. 1000 in 1 hour, 480 in 2 hours, 10 in 48 hours, etc… The decay happens quickly. The longer you stay the better. Some say up to 72 hours.
Three key factors will determine how well you will do—time, distance and shielding.
A good thing to know so you don’t panic: The intense light from a FLASH can lead to temporary blindness lasting less than sixty seconds. If this happens to you, please don’t worry. Please remember this and make sure your family knows about it. Do not look at it.
PRE-PLANNING FOR NUCLEAR FALLOUT
Have a preplanned location inside your house to which you and your family can go. Have a box or prepared supplies there. Put this together now and have it and forget it. Have a plan should you and your family be outside your home during the blast. (See below)
Also, list things you may not want to keep in your planned location so you know exactly what to grab in a rush. This might include:
- Your gun
- Your Ham radio
- Your Vodka (lol)
- Your medication
- Is there anything else you need but want to store only for a while at that spot?
NUCLEAR ATTACK BUG-IN BOX
Please keep your box ready in the location or right near it that you will all immediately go to if a nuclear blast happens.
- Bottled water – enough for everyone for three days. What if you had company? Add extra, just in case.
- Food that stores easily, like canned beans or anything that will last for a while, will not attract rodents.
- Survival food packages and extra water. You can still eat the food by soaking it. It will be cold but nutritious.
- A hand-cranked radio or radio with batteries kept outside the radio for now.
- Blankets and pillows
- Battery-operated headlamps and a battery lantern for each person.
- Book, pens, pencils, crossword puzzles, coloring books for the kids. Simple, inexpensive things to keep everyone’s mind occupied.
- Potassium Iodide pills
- Flashlights and extra batteries
- First aid kit
- Radiation meter
Cell phones, television, and internet services may be disrupted or unavailable. Tune into any media available for official information, such as when it is safe to exit and where you should go.
It could be a very long time before food or water is available. The ground that is not covered will be contaminated, and you cannot grow food. You must rely on the food inside your home since it is not contaminated. Please keep this in mind when you prepare.
AFTER THE BLAST – LONG TERM
YOU SURVIVED THE BLAST FOR 24 – 72 HOURS – NOW WHAT?
The effects of radioactive fallout don’t take place as suddenly or cause as much destruction and chaos as a nuclear explosion or meltdown. There are ways to prepare for it and even strategies to deal with it when it occurs.
The nuclear events release radioactive material into the atmosphere. In some cases, these events can spread across multiple wind patterns, resulting in contamination over hundreds or thousands of miles away. Although the effects are usually milder far away from the event’s site, they still have a lasting impact.
SURVIVING A NUCLEAR WINTER – LARGE-SCALE ATTACK
(See more likely small-scale attack below. We are currently working on that section under construction.)
One hundred nuclear blasts could bring about worldwide nuclear famine, what would happen if they released the full potential of the thousands of warheads?
In 2019, a study was published featuring an experiment where 150 Tg of soot was injected into the atmosphere, similar to what would occur after a massive nuclear war. It resulted in about 30-40 percent of sunlight being blocked from reaching the Earth’s surface over the following six months. This caused temperatures to plummet around the globe, with the most extreme example being Iowa, which stayed at 0°C or below for 730 consecutive days. To survive this, you would need three years of stored food.
Due to the severe temperature drop, no growing seasons were possible, leading to an actual nuclear winter. The study’s model shows temperatures staying below 0°C for 730 days straight. Growing any food will be impossible, and precipitation is drastically reduced in a full-blown nuclear winter.
90% of the world’s population would die very quickly. We know people who say they would walk right out into it and hope they die quickly. Some would not want to survive, whereas others have an intense survival instinct. We are the latter.
RADIATION REMOVAL FILTERS AND LARGE FOOD STORAGE KITS
You can survive the dangers of a nuclear winter, but it takes a lot of money and time to prepare. Those who fail to prepare for such a catastrophic event will not survive. We have emergency preparedness kits containing everything you need for complete protection against radiation and enough food stores to last a family for as many years as they want to store ahead.
We have radiation removal filters, your only hope against deadly radiation seeping into your water supply. We can’t stockpile enough water for three years, or at least not many can.
RADIATION REMOVAL FILTER
DIRTY BOMBS IN THE USA
SMALLER-SCALE TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE USA
It would be easier to survive smaller-scale nuclear terror attacks than a full-blown large-scale attack, of course.
Since we have an out-of-control administration funding the murder of thousands of children across the ocean and wide open borders, we believe we will see many terrorist attacks shortly. There are many who think they will be on a large scale. The United States is backing the slaughter of thousands of innocent people, which in itself will create massive anger and provoke many extremists to head to the United States to seek revenge.
The majority of retired military generals who we watched being interviewed believe terror cells are already here and it is only a matter of time before the attacks begin. Exactly as we are writing this our friend texted us about the terrorist attack at Rainbow Bridge on the US-Canada border. It’s the day before Thanksgiving and the busiest travel day of the year. We chose to not travel until after the new year. We predicted holiday travel terror events are possible.
THE GOOD NEWS STOPPING DIRTY BOMBS
The Department of Homeland Security has distributed devices to its officers to detect potentially hazardous materials from up to one mile away. Additionally, they have provided larger machines for use at major events such as the Super Bowl and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that can scan for radiation in the area. There are 56,000 detectors set up around the country in hopes of preventing terrorists from delivering a “dirty bomb” into populated areas.
The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office within DHS collaborates with 14 metropolitan regions labeled “high-risk”: New York City and its neighboring cities of Newark and Jersey City; Los Angeles, Long Beach, and the Washington D.C. area; Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and New Orleans.
FROM THE NATIONAL TERRORISM ADVISORY SYSTEM
The United States remains in a heightened threat environment. Lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland. They advise foreign terrorist organizations are motivating supporters to conduct attacks in the US.
DIRTY BOMBS AND THE THREAT
RADIOLOGICAL ATTACK DIRTY BOMBS AND OTHER DEVICES – Taken from the Home Land Security website.
WHAT IS THE DANGER? Immediate Impact on Human Health Most injuries from a dirty bomb could occur from the heat, debris, radiological dust, and force of the conventional explosion used to disperse the radioactive material, affecting only individuals close to the site of the explosion.
At the low radiation levels expected from an RDD, the immediate health effects from radiation exposure would likely be minimal.
HEALTHE EFFECTS OF RADIATION EXPOSURE
The Health effects of radiation exposure are determined by:
• The amount of radiation absorbed by the body.
• Radiation type
• Means of exposure—external or internal (absorbed by the skin, inhaled, or ingested).
• Length of time exposed. The health effects of radiation tend to be directly proportional to radiation dose.
PRACTICAL STEPS AFTER A DIRTY BOMB EXPLOSION
If people are near the site of a dirty bomb or release of radioactive material, they should:
- Stay away from any apparent plume or dust cloud.
- Cover their mouth and nose with a tissue, filter, or damp cloth to avoid inhaling or ingesting the radioactive material.
- Get inside a building with closed doors and windows quickly and in an orderly manner as possible and listen for information from emergency responders and authorities. If you are in a building where the windows and walls have not been damaged, remain inside and don’t leave. In the event of broken walls or windows, go into an interior room and don’t leave. If the building is heavily impacted, move quickly to one with undamaged walls/windows. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth if it’s necessary to go outdoors.
- Close all windows, outside doors, and fireplace dampers, and turn off any fans or heating/cooling systems that bring air from the outside.
- If the building is heavily impacted, move quickly to one with undamaged walls/windows. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth if it’s necessary to go outdoors.
- Remove contaminated clothes immediately; place them in a sealed container such as a plastic bag. The clothing could be used later to estimate a person’s exposure.
- Gently wash skin and hair to remove contamination; people should ensure that no radioactive material enters the mouth or is transferred to areas of the face where it could be easily moved to the mouth and ingested. For example, don’t eat, drink, or smoke.
FAMILY MEMBERS
If your family is with you, stay together.
- If your children or relatives are staying elsewhere, let them remain there until it’s appropriate to depart.
- Schools have emergency plans and shelters, so if your kids are at school, they should stay there until given the all-clear not to travel. Only go back to the school once permission is granted from public officials.
FOOD AND WATER
Food and water supplies will most likely remain safe. Please don’t consume unpacked food or water close to the incident. Canned and sealed containers are secure, but wash the outside before opening. Authorities will monitor food and water quality and inform the public.
RADIATION EXPOSURE
People cannot sense radiation, but police and firefighters can detect it with special equipment. Low levels of exposure do not show symptoms; however, higher levels may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin redness or swelling. If any symptoms come in, please seek medical help right away.
REMEMBER: The most destructive power of a dirty bomb is in its capacity to cause panic. There is a general lack of knowledge about radiation, and it has been viewed as an evil force by many. Even if the effects of a dirty bomb were minimal, the resulting fear could spread for hundreds or thousands of miles away. This is why dirty bombs are classified as weapons of terror, or “weapons of mass distraction.”
TERRORISTS AND NUCLEAR BOMBS
The most challenging task to complete when making a nuclear bomb is Obtaining fissile material such as highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium (Pu). Unfortunately, it’s not too hard to obtain. There are hundreds of sites that contain nuclear weapons and nuclear-usable elements but need more international regulations in place to ensure they are adequately secured. In addition, there are over 130 research reactors with HEU, including some in developing countries.
Terrorists can make nuclear weapons. Hundreds of sites around the world store nuclear weapons or materials that can be used to make them, yet there is no single global standard for how safe they should be kept. Additionally, there are more than 130 research reactors with highly enriched uranium (HEU), many located in less-developed nations.
U.S. Office of Technology Assessment (1977): “A small group of people, none of whom have ever had access to the classified literature, could design and build a crude nuclear explosive device. Only modest machine-shop facilities that could be contracted for without arousing suspicion would be required.”
The possible routes for terrorists to deliver nuclear weapons are the same channels as those used by drug smugglers, illegal immigrants, and legitimate commodities. It is estimated that there are between 20-30 million unauthorized migrants worldwide.
ILLEGAL ALIENS 2023
Recently, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a record-breaking amount of illegal aliens in the US during fiscal year 2023. They encountered 3.2 million illegal aliens at our borders, and how many of them are known terrorists who got in undetected? We will never know.
The number of terrorists who have infiltrated the country, whether they succeeded or not, is estimated to be anywhere from 163 to 700, depending on who you believe. Those who managed to escape are not counted among this tally.
