I know the Brits are supposed to be our allies, so why would they with hold highly educational survival training from being viewed here in the US. In all my years in school, the military, etc I was unaware of this looming threat. Thank you You Tube for broadcasting the truth.

Dammit! can't....watch....from work.....stupid....filters....must....get .....sick.......so I.......can ......go.......home!;)
 
have to admit, I watched the whole thing and giggled at it a lot...
 
Speaking of disaster preparedness...this is how dumbed-down we have become...

Read this paragraph from ready.gov

Some potential emergencies could send tiny microscopic "junk" into the air. For example flooding could create airborne mold which could make you sick and an explosion may release very fine debris that can cause lung damage. A biological terrorist attack may release germs that can make you sick if inhaled or absorbed through open cuts. Many of these agents can only hurt you if they get into your body, so think about creating a barrier between yourself and any contamination.

No duh...isn't all of that common sense? I would think anyone who ever took Jr. High Biology would know that.

Is that sentence actually intended for adults? It sounds like language you'd use to teach a grade school kid.


On another note...I had a weird dream where I needed to find a fallout shelter and couldn't find one...:shocked:

So, today I went and thought about where the old Civil Defense Shelters used to be around here. Can't find any anymore. The last one I knew of was in the old Main Library but it was torn down years ago and rebuilt. Of course, the basement of this apt. building would likely do..it was built in 1889.

So, I looked online..lots of history, no real answers.

( oh, for those of you too young to have ever heard the old CD warning sirens..check this out: http://www.civildefensemuseum.com/sirens.html )

Gah...everything is all FEMA and Gov't crap now.

What happened to being self-reliant in emergencies? Sure, RedCross and local EMS is fine, but if there was a major disaster like when Mt. Rainer finally blows...where would ya go?

Maybe I'll just take my old Industrial CPR and outdoors skills and join the local CERT.

Self reliant went out the window the minute people started relying on Fast Food and the microwave as their main sorce of "nutrition"...........

After the Katrina FEMA fiasco a group of bright young people in my neighborhood (MOst of them went down to help back then) with EMT training formed a local self-reliance style emergency preparedness training group- they teach people and have local events to spread awareness and stuff- they are called- you are gonna love it ...Zombie Squad -and just as soon as I get through this semester, I'm going to see about getting involved. If we have a real disaster (I live practically on a fault line) -I would be happier to see a Zombie squad truck than any other in my 'hood....I know the guys that formed it and they just seem like flat out jokers most of the time- but they are for real caring folk when it comes right down to it.
