    Some good to know news from the US government in case you are nuked. Keep your social distancing and for god's sake wear a mask or the chicom crud could be a big problem. Priorities.

    Just remember some over paid and under worked minion wrote this and probably went through 5 supervisor level reviews before this was released.

    Nuclear Explosion
    Nuclear explosions can cause significant damage and casualties from blast, heat, and radiation but you can keep your family safe by knowing what to do and being prepared if it occurs.

    A nuclear weapon is a device that uses a nuclear reaction to create an explosion.

    Nuclear devices range from a small portable device carried by an individual to a weapon carried by a missile.

    A nuclear explosion may occur with or without a few minutes warning.

    Fallout is most dangerous in the first few hours after the detonation when it is giving off the highest levels of radiation. It takes time for fallout to arrive back to ground level, often more than 15 minutes for areas outside of the immediate blast damage zones. This is enough time for you to be able to prevent significant radiation exposure by following these simple steps:

    GET INSIDE
    Get inside the nearest building to avoid radiation. Brick or concrete are best.

    Remove contaminated clothing and wipe off or wash unprotected skin if you were outside after the fallout arrived. Hand sanitizer does not protect against fall out. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, if possible. Do not use disinfectant wipes on your skin.

    Go to the basement or middle of the building. Stay away from the outer walls and roof. Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household. Children under two years old, people who have trouble breathing, and those who are unable to remove masks on their own should not wear them.

    I have solar on my rolling house, I would be good but unable to roll. But all the other RVers near me would die within a week or two and then I become a looter. Or a good guy like on The Walking Dead. The cattle ranch right next to this place will feed me for a long time...

    now I just need it to rain in Texas. Would the nuclear winter generate good rain fall? or would I be acid burned along with everything the rain touches - WE ARE ALL DOOMED

    If you know how to hunt, fish and prepare your own food you will be fine. How many people can hunt, kill, bleed, skin, quarter and prepare a deer? This is well less than 20% the population now. Maybe 10%. Urban centers are completely fucked and will devolve into bedlam quickly. I'll be fine.

    Outside of squirrels and neighborhood cats not a lot of game in my woods.

    Are coyotes safe to eat?

    Quick Note: With an EMP, all electronics will be fried. Only very old automobiles (with gasoline) will be operable. Computers will be inoperable.

    Doubt that generators will be operable.

    I keep a 1985 Jeep Scrambler for a number of reasons, but one of the most important is it is solar flare and EMP resistant. And it can go anywhere and do anything. An old jeep is basically essential for life.
