00:32:28 John deGroot: CERT = Community Emergency Response Training 00:32:44 John deGroot: teaches people how to do a search of a building in case of earthquake 00:33:01 Frank Gordon: Yes 00:33:01 Frank Gordon: t 00:33:25 Frank Gordon: Yes Team 00:34:11 John Hoyle: PLEASE MUTE PHONES! 00:41:37 whitb: Ive been looking at purchasing a Geiger counter. I notice Geiger counters that detect alpha radiation are much more expensive. Is it advisable to buy one that detecs Alpha radiation? 00:42:20 Division 6 iPad: Want alpha and gamma detection 00:42:45 John deGroot: I read that low level survey meters will malfunction in a high radiation environment and then read zero or almost zero because they are overwhelmed 00:43:19 John deGroot: Survey meters for high radiation environments apparently differ from medical instruments for low level radiation 00:43:48 whitb: I was looking at a GQ-GMC 600. So many choices Im confused 00:44:06 Division 6 iPad: Civil defence 715 are rated as one of best choices. However hard to find. On YouTube survival Lilly did a review on the ones available on Amazon 00:44:52 John deGroot: I saw Survival Lilly's video, but was unsure whether or not it's range was high enough 00:45:43 Division 6 iPad: If need that high of detection it is sol situation 00:47:35 Division 6 iPad: Don’t remove any electronic devices from your faraday cage for about a week after event. A second emp may occur after first to get any items that were safe from first wave 00:47:41 Frank Gordon: CDV-700 is old Civil Defense low range meter, measures gamma and detects beta but no alpha. 00:48:32 Greg: Was showing my CD dosimeters to the wife and they had all drifted to 25-30 from when I set them to 0 a month ago. Why do they drift so easily? 00:48:50 John deGroot: I have a suggestion. May I speak? 00:48:50 douglasclark: Beta and alpha are mostly risk producing if inhaled. 00:50:12 Division 6 iPad: Radioactive dust is the main issue post nuclear. That’s the purpose of nbc clothing . 00:50:15 Hakima RobinsonRashad : Keep your head on a swivel 00:51:18 whitb: Thanks for everyones input 00:51:31 Darren Holms: thank you 00:51:56 Frank Gordon: Dosimeters have basically a static charge and will lose it over time, there are limits, which I don't have before me, where you don't want them to drift over short term, or they need to be replaced. 00:52:48 whitb: Do EMP shields for homes or cars really work? 00:53:20 Division 6 iPad: About 15 years ago there was a solar flare that caused issues in parts of Canada along with some ne states in the USA. That is just a small scale of issues emp can create 00:53:48 Greg: Just got some Russian ones. Can I reset them with the CD V-750? 00:54:44 douglasclark: Yes please. 00:55:21 douglasclark: We use this toll for our clients 00:55:23 douglasclark: https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ 00:55:32 douglasclark: tool 00:56:53 I. Rowland: Carrington event, right? 00:57:19 douglasclark: You can project nuke effect close to you with specific weapon type.. We use the 800kt SS-25 Topol for Russian threat and 5MT “Dong Feng” for Chinese threat 00:57:42 douglasclark: Yes Carrington event 00:58:15 douglasclark: Sorry, separate topics, nuke effects and EMP overlapping but separate 00:59:08 Frank Gordon: CDV-742 is one for 0-200 00:59:14 douglasclark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_radiation_syndrome 00:59:59 douglasclark: As opposed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome 01:00:33 douglasclark: May I speak to this please?? 01:00:54 Division 6 iPad: Rumour is that Russia has a 100t monster 01:01:16 John deGroot: Probably, but there is no advantage in making the rubble bounce larger 01:02:04 Division 6 iPad: Posiden torpedo ? 01:02:35 John deGroot: The Russians lie a lot. They probably have a huge bomb, but it might not be a practical weapon because of weight 01:05:42 John deGroot: It depends on how close the bomb and whether airburst or sub-surface burst and winter or spring or summer 01:06:20 douglasclark: Wish to speak to this please 01:06:45 John deGroot: Also depends on whether the active fighting lasts 5 days or 5 months or 5 years 01:07:03 John deGroot: Tarps are cheap at Home Depo & Lowes 01:07:28 douglasclark: We often recommend clients plan on 18 months of food supplies. Planting sunflower the first season to pul contamination out the first season. Then discard this harvest was taught in publications following Fukushima disaster 01:07:57 Frank Gordon: Leakage rate for dosemeters should not be over 5% of full scale over 4 days. But just note rates and subtract for total if having to use. 01:08:03 Nick Arnold: Ah, time change got me I thought this meeting started now, sorry! 01:08:19 douglasclark: Drill a well as a baseline. 01:08:34 John deGroot: Filter water through a sand and charcoal filter to remove radioactive dust particles 01:09:01 douglasclark: But he is correct on filtering, if budget and energy supply allows, reverse osmosis is top tier 01:09:27 Greg: Thanks. Curious that 3 of 4 drifted by the same amount. Now going to store with dessicent. 01:09:42 John deGroot: Reverse osmosis is great for bacteria. sand and charcoal will catch dust particles 01:10:17 John deGroot: Tarps could be used to cover one's garden for a few weeks to keep fallout particles out of the soil 01:12:03 John deGroot: I would use an improvised sand and charcoal (disposable) filter as a pre-filter to remove fallout particles, then run the outflow through a Berkeley 01:14:18 iPhone: Links!! Yes!! Awesome!!! Also, definitely going to visit TACDA site for info and books! I am a CERT member . We meet monthly. Cover different topics for community. It is free to attend. I am member of local MAG .we meet every month as well and cover different topics. Members are from neighboring towns, cities. Build that community!! Thanks to all!! Still listening now. 01:15:02 Gerald Lilienthal: Douglas: Thank you very much for the comments on planning, thoughtful action and confidence it garners. 01:15:29 Jim Hensley: Thank you very much!! 01:15:30 M Poling: This was great.
