. Then again, we live in an area that is free from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, snow storms etc. In fact, the only major natural disaster (and unlikely) is a major earthquake which according to experts is a 1 in 500 year chance. However being just a few years south of 50 years old, I will in all likelihood, live the rest of my life without this occurrence. As for being prepared for a man made disaster, no major industries, plants, factories, rail lines, major highways etc close by so these scenarios are low priority but still something that we keep in mind and prepare for.
I made that mistake,thinking Nukes not an issue.About the only thing we dont prepare for is war/nuclear/bio war.I cant afford a bio/nuke bunker.No nukes in my area,only one is south and wind usually blows east,NO PROBLEM,right? WRONG!!
If that happens,good luck,all I can come up with is run/avoid,and even that wont work in that scenario.Hard to run from invisible things in the atmosphere.
So when Fukushima happened,who was completely unprepared for that? ME! Dang it,Japan is WEST of me,and gee,that stuff travels the jet stream,BUMMER!
Our answer was load up on kelp and seaweed,and so did the other wise guys in the community,we got the end of the seaweed and only got kelp because a customer at the store saw us looking and showed me where it was also in an obscure supplements section of store.Few bags left there.
They had no Potassium Iodide at all,nor did they expect any more,or seaweeds for that matter.In fact,it was MONTHS before they were able to get any in.
Point is,something from the other side of the world can nail you.
As for bio attack,sure,we can treat anthrax,but really,I see a threat more along the lines of Ebola,a designer version. IMO the next sneak attack of World War will be bio,cheap and easy to disperse,innoculate your guys with the vaccine and set it loose.Thats my guess.
