Homeowner: Don’t run around with your head cut off.

They will help to hold up the bylaws to keep society. Transparency and full disclosure engenders trust and cooperation.Īlso, most people feel safe with boundary lines. They will probably surprise you with good judgment. Show what resources you are making available and have the group figure out how to ration it. If you force your authority (which you have every right to do) you risk a mutiny. When people have a voice it helps them to bring about a cohesive and successful survival. In fact, an option is to allow the collective group to make up the bylaws. If you do not take the time to do this, a hard horrible situation could be ten times worse.įACT: Adults, teens and kids cooperate better when they see the logic in the rules. If you are to survive many days together, you will need law and order in the place. It is okay for you, the homeowner, to call for bylaws to govern the nucleus of dwellers. Let’s choose the first and look at some ideas. You can survive decently or you can go crazy by the end of two weeks (or however long it takes before radioactive levels are safe). This does not sound comfortable on any level. This will mean that the people in the house will be concentrated together in a small space. Staying ten feet in from exterior walls is the safety protocol when there is radioactive fallout outside. At the end of this blog is a link to buy a radiation monitor. Read my previous blog in regards to the ‘intake’ area. There are safety checkpoints that would make this safe to do. You will hope desperately for a good Samaritan to take you in. Afterall, you may be the person caught far from home during a nuclear attack. Prepare early to help your family and anyone else desperate to stay alive. Their cars will not be safe places from radioactive fallout. People caught in the dust will be desperate for shelter. This type of sheltering with strangers is very possible with nuclear fallout coming down like rain across the state. Sheltering in place during a nuclear attack may almost destroy our mental fortitude.ĭuring Hurricane Ian, there were twenty plus neighbors who crammed into an upstairs room to survive the storm. We had running water, plumbing, heating, A/C, and electricity. We could take a drive up into the mountains. With Covid, we could retire to our backyards, or several rooms in the house. It will be very different than the Covid-19 sheltering of 2020. This blog is about what to do with all the time you will have on your hands.

Last week I blogged about 5 Areas to organize in a fallout shelter.

The Three Areas: Law & Order, Jobs, & Entertainment.
