Sorry I'm late! 18:35:35 From Patrick Wheelock : Do most on here belong to the C.E.R.T. program? 18:36:06 From Kitara Maxey : Thank you for that advice Texas! 18:36:12 From Peter KX4LB : ARES 18:38:13 From Peter KX4LB : I found a decent Geiger Müeller device on ebay. Only $80 and has basically the same effect as the Nuke Alert Keychain 18:38:19 From Gary Paulis : It was mentioned to wrap the radio in aluminum foil to protect against EMP. I had information to place it in a metal container that is insulated inside with cardboard and plastic sheet and the can must have a secure metal lid that makes good metal to metal contact with the can. Is either method acceptable? 18:38:24 From Jay Whimpey : Many people are involved with CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) groups in their local communities and it is a good idea to do so. 18:38:55 From DP287 : Reacted to "Many people are invo..." with 👍 18:39:42 From Patrick Wheelock : Reacted to "Many people are in..." with 👍 18:39:50 From Jay Whimpey : There are many ways to protect from EMP and the information is available in past issues of the Journal of Civil Defense. 18:40:22 From Mary Campbell : How do we take care of our pets? 18:40:38 From ross raney : As far as vehicles go and EMP, up to about ’73 should be fine. That’s the point the Government started forcing changes. 18:41:00 From Peter KX4LB : I love my cat, but she's a very low priority for mouths to feed. 18:42:10 From Gatlin : It should be noted that the dosimeters on the website (CD V - 742) do not measure in RAD, they use Roentgens. Of which 0.877 RAD is equivalent to 1 Roentgen. 18:42:41 From Peter KX4LB : Reacted to It should be noted t... with "👍" 18:42:54 From Jay Whimpey : Lehman.com for Amish equipment. 18:43:18 From Paul Oliver : Simple Pump and Bison Pumps have hand pumps 18:43:42 From Jay Whimpey : Pets have to be taken care of just like people. 18:44:15 From Peter KX4LB : My cat lived feral before we got her...she'll be fine 18:45:09 From Darlene : how can we create a local community support network preparedness but without putting ourselves and families in harms way, I was told that we would do better off in large groups. I know this is a little off topic 18:46:31 From Patrick Wheelock : Darlene, contact your city, ask if there is a C.E.R.T. program and if not, demand they file with the feds to start one. Great training and support locally 18:47:09 From Darlene : ok thank you 18:47:59 From Darlene : Also is there a certain type of filter that we should be using on a facemask to prevent from breathing in particles 18:48:07 From Jay Whimpey : There is a very good book on the subject called something like "Lesson From the Argentina Economic Collapse". On the subject about how to survive when there are issues with civil order. 18:48:59 From Jay Whimpey : HEPA (High Efficiency Particular Air) filters would be best for radiation issues. 18:49:22 From Darlene : thank you 18:49:39 From Peter KX4LB : Would a 3M respirator mask with dive Goggles a viable solution for a CBRN mask? 18:49:46 From Scott Freshwaters : 40" of dirt 18:50:37 From Jay Whimpey : The 3M respirators should work pretty well. 18:51:33 From Peter KX4LB : Replying to "The 3M respirators s..." These are easily ava... 18:53:22 From Darlene : Replying to "The 3M respirators s..." what is the different to a Geiger counter and a dosimeter. 18:53:41 From Darlene : Replying to "The 3M respirators s..." sure I spelled that wrong 18:53:50 From Travis : Reacted to "ARES " with 👍 18:54:20 From ross raney : In the Denver area we are surrounded by targets. 18:54:52 From Paul Oliver to TACDA(Direct Message) : What are 14 targets located 18:54:54 From Jim Lint : I liked the slides.

It was the original, but quite aged. 18:56:04 From ross raney : 73 for the cars 18:56:47 From Gatlin : Old civil defense CD V -700s (geiger counter) can be found on places like eBay for a few hundred (USD). They're old meters from the early 60s but they were built to withstand nuclear war, so many of them are still functional, but sadly not precise. 18:57:09 From Travis : Amazon has dosimeters... 18:58:11 From John Hoyle : Thank you, Sharon for a thorough presentation of protective measures, what to grow etc. 18:59:29 From Travis : nukemap.org has up to date info and tools to predict nuclear events. 18:59:47 From Bob Smith - Denver : Sorry I came in late.
