![]() We don't have to discuss it at the time because we already have. ![]() For DEFCON 1, the decision has already been made to use deadly force if necessary. A well-written EAP thought out in advance and printed on hard copy removes the decision-making process from the equation because the decisions have already been made and they have been made without panic or adrenaline interfering with the process. When the adrenaline gets going, people forget things and make bad decisions. That's why our DEFCON 1 EAP has a specific line in it about use of deadly force against potential threats.Ī lot of people underestimate the power of having written Emergency Action Plans in place that can be accessed when said emergency occurs. That's all any of us can do.Ĭlick to expand.People who were paying attention already observed this phenomenon with Katrina, although it would be 100 times worse with a nuclear war scenario. Just use dependable sources and come to your own conclusion, and hope it's the right conclusion. Most of us probably wouldn't even know that something is heading our way. I really figure there would be a serious clampdown or the internet kill switch being thrown if thing were really starting to get bad. With the way that general media is being censored, and also the ways of delivery to the general population (internet) and news agencies, I seriously doubt that we would have much of a timeline (if any) as far as a warning goes. Now, the one last thing to consider, and trust me, I'm not getting political here. I'd dare say that for most-especially the snowflakes in this screwed up world-most wouldn't have a clue as to how it would change humanity. The most important part of either one of them is to study the human nature both before and after. Each one has some very good points in there-especially the second one, because it had some sections of what others would try to do as far as trying to get to you. ![]() Look up "The Day After" and also 2012 nuclear war movie unimaginable horror. but there are also some very good pointers. Sure, there's some Hollywood in there which would be expected. Yea I know, it was just a movie, but there are two very good ones to look up on You-tube. This is a factor that is overlooked often. Determine the general prevailing winds for your area, due to the spread of radiation. I know-yuck-but things will be entirely different if it God forbid, goes that far.įor your general area, study that nuke map that was made in 2000. ![]() Have plenty of paper towels, so that the 'long log' can be picked up and put in the garbage bag. Why? The fuel is lighter than water and the water portion will settle to the bottom, and certainly cut down on the smell. for taking care of the liquid side, have at least a #2 washtub, but filled with about 1/2 to gallon of diesel fuel. Have a good supply of either grocery sacks or garbage bags for getting rid of the 'crap'. Don't put liquid waste when you 'do your business' in the bucket. If you are going to bug-in, have some things like cat litter and a 5 gallon bucket or old time slop jar for taking care of human waste. And, at a #3, I'd certainly advise to have your supplies in order, ready for whatever. On a #2 is decision time, which should be planned out well ahead of time. Everything is going to depend upon your own location and where the bugout points might be. I agree with RiffRaff on general consensus. Might be one week in some areas, six weeks in others. Only a complete radiation detection kit is going to give you that information, however. After two to four weeks, ambient radiation should decay to safe levels, at least for brief exposure. If you live more than 50 miles from any nuclear target, I would stay put and make preparations to protect yourself from radioactive fallout for a minimum of two weeks. If you wait until DEFCON 1 to do this, you risk being caught out in the open during a nuclear exchange, which is the last place you want to be.ĭEFCON 3 is when you fill the gas tanks and load the vehicles with supplies so you can leave with a moment's notice, but too early for bugout at that point. The plan was to stop there and monitor the situation until it became clear whether or not we needed to continue with our bugout or not. This point was along our bugout route to the Minnesota/Canadian border and was miles away from any potential nuclear target. For example, when we lived in Indy, our EAP for DEFCON 2 was to bugout to our "failsafe" point on the Illinois/Indiana border. If this site ever hits DEFCON 2 then, yes, it's time to get as far away from any potential targets as possible, especially cities.
