The vast majority of Americans should prepare to deal with the collateral effects of the nuclear attacks as they will most likely not be directly hit with a nuclear strike except in the event of a full blown WW III situation.

This list would also apply to major Natural Disasters, riots, etc.

Some of the collateral effects to be dealt with would be:
1) Sudden and major shift in population out of the attacked areas.
2) Disruption of the Electrical Grid and rationing of electricity.
3) Disruption of Food supplies and rationing.
4) Disruption of Gasoline, Natural Gas, Heating Oil, and other fuel supplies and rationing of said supplies.
5) Disruption of Water supplies and Water Quality.
6) Loss of Civil Order and resulting curfews.
7) Loss of or reduction in one's income due to reduction of hours at the job.
8) Restriction/Rationing of one's movement and the everyday supplies needed to continue daily life.
9) Criminal/Governmental threats to one's continued position of personal property and survival supplies and equipment.

This is a partial list but points-out the major issues to be dealt with.

You could say LOSS OF EVERYTHING to cover it all.

411? if one of those in your list do happen then all of them will happen and that's why I am ready as much as I can for all of them..........but

"To be ready is not"... Ponce something will always happen for which
there is nothing tht you can do.

I think the biggest threat currently would be a disruption in fuel supplies or a rapid rise in cost. If $1.50 dollar gasoline goes to $2.50, either because of a shortage caused by governmental changes to gasoline formulation, or because of a hurricane or accident at one of the United States few refineries, what does $2.50 gasoline and $3.50 diesel go up to? What if ALGore organizes an Oil Embargo against us because we don't sign International Carbon Emission treaties? Canada has already considered lowering oil exports to the US from it's "oil sand" deposits, since they consider the US to be a major poluter.

To be sure no one can anticipate or prepare for every eventuality.

If one prepares comprehensively for a major disaster ( aka SHTF type event ), then a host of other events are covered.

Whew!

A post from 411man without a link! I think I just fell over and died!

Just kidding. (almost) Anyway, yes, you're absolutely right - you can't prepare for the worst. Do the best you can - it's all anyone can ask of you anyway.

I did say that my name says what I concentrate on, collecting and diseminating information. Links are a unavoidable necessity to include as most people will DEMAND your source of information.

Hey, I'm not knocking it. I've found many of your links to be valuable.

You do this site a valuable service.

I'm just saying, it's rare to see a post from you that doesn't include a link, is all.
