I bought the movie “The Day After” from Target. It is a 1980s movie about the USSR exchanging ICBMs with the US. It seems to be technically accurate. EMP destroys all electronics. Emergency radios do not work. Many are caught out in the radiation and suffer its deadly consequences. The large cities are gone so no help is available. Towns have to make do the best they can. Big paradigm of “It Can’t Happen Here.” Mothers of Invention, 1969.



The situation now is that there are NO government fall-out shelters for the general population. Anyone have thoughts on how to survive a possible nuclear exchange with Russia, China, or terrorists? It got me looking at FM 21-76. Good info on how to cope with all kinds of NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical) events. It is interesting that FM 21-76 states that no matter how good your survival kit is that you will run out of supplies eventually and have to improvise.
