Journal of Civil Defense 2023, Vol. 58, Issue 1, The Key to Survival

In this issue of the Journal of Civil Defense, The Key to Survival, we highlight how we have shared our 60 plus years of experience with the people of Ukraine as they fight for their freedom in the current crisis with Russia. Our experts were interviewed by the most popular national broadcaster in Ukraine serving 22 million viewers, who were hoping to gain and share knowledge on how to survive during a terrifying and dangerous conflict.

Our experts answered questions in relation to civil defense topics including:

• Water and food supplies
• Heating
• Dam failure
• Nuclear power plants
• Petrol shortage
• Evacuation
• Camps for displaced persons
• Metros, train stations, and other crowded places under threat
• State and private bunkers
• Terrorist threats
• Protection of the elderly, the disabled, and children

The key to surviving many if not all of those threats is personal preparedness! Most people are not prepared to survive an emergency situation. In the Journal of Civil Defense, The Key to Survival, you will discover new insights to civil defense and personal preparedness from those who are living through the Ukraine war and what those in Ukraine have learned from us.
