00:42:21 TACDA: I always plan on being on my own during emergencies. FEMA has been proven to be slow and ineffective. 00:45:31 George Turner: Since July, I have sent one letter each week to my U.S. Senator and U.S. Rep. asking them to explore reinstating the US Civil Defense that is separate from FEMA and DHS. 00:45:48 George Turner: So far, neither has answered my letters 00:53:07 Alex: I called FEMA and MEMA (Massachusetts version). Asking for a list/map of Fallout shelters. For both of them, I had to explain what a Dallout shelter was. Finally, after speaking to a 'manager', they said they would put the word out when a situation happens (I explained to them it would be too late). A year later (maybe a month ago), I called FEMA again. They asked if I wanted a 'storm shelter'. Then, they transferred me to leave a message with public affairs. No response has come back. There is no idea as to what our Fallout shelters are on a National or in my case State level. 00:54:53 George Turner: They have dropped the ball on many things 01:00:01 Alex: There seems to be no Official government Civil Defense anymore. Valuable lessons were forgotten. Lessons that were learned in blood. There is an entire Generation now who has lived without official Civil Defense. Abby you are among the minority of people under 50 who understands these concerns. I'm a 45 yr old, Male, 3 tour Combat Vet. Not all of my age cohort knows what to do. 01:00:17 TACDA: You can use the Delorme Gazetteers of your local area that include detailed topographical of the entire state. 01:01:58 Abby G.: Replying to "There seems to be no…" Yeah I figured that FEMA replaced it but I had no idea FEMA was incompetent when it comes to nukes. 01:02:37 Abby G.: Replying to "There seems to be no…" Maybe it’s because they figured that we shouldn’t even try because the nukes are too destructive for us to have a chance 🤷🏼‍♀️ 01:03:07 Abby G.: Reacted to "You can use the Delo…" with 🤔 01:03:15 George Turner: President Carter placed the US Civil Defense into FEMA. As we know, FEMA is now part of DHS. We no longer have a civil defense program. FEMA wants to push their Community Emergency Response Team but its next to impossible to find an instructor here where I live. 01:05:41 Andrew Lyle: I got some CERT training a few years ago. I thought it was pretty good, but the organization that was overseeing it did not communicate well and I never had a chance to participate with a group. 01:10:41 TACDA: CERT training is very useful. 01:11:52 Alex: Reacted to President Carter pla... with "❤️" 01:15:03 Lise: Thank you for all of this information. Much appreciated! 01:15:23 UtahValley Permaculture: I have unmuted 01:15:24 Gary P.: Do you have a risk assessment matrix in any of your books? 01:16:03 Lisa: Three of us...single women. 01:17:45 Gary P.: You may want to check into City Prepping if you want to find other preppers in your area. 01:19:08 Cory: Look into American Contingency. It is a nationwide group, we have local teams nationwide. HQ is in Utah 01:19:17 ross raney: Fortitude Ranch? 01:20:12 Chad Blake: I have used American Contingency to help build up a local community. It's sparse in some parts of the country, but a lot of really good people 01:24:53 Lisa: Same for me please. 01:25:05 Lisa: What was that email again please? 01:27:05 Lisa: They are also in Texas. DFW area and and El Paso. I have no doubt they are in the Houston area also. They are ex-Venuzuelan prisioners. Once they emptied their prisons the crime then is now way down. My church is absolutely unaware. 01:28:18 Steve: Preppernet.net 01:28:21 Vi Horvát: Thank you 01:28:25 Alex: I also have a question 01:29:47 UtahValley Permaculture: Thank you for your service and bravery Alex. I would hand my gun to a veteran and feed them if they would come to defend me. 01:32:11 UtahValley Permaculture: All the experts state 90% of Americans will not survive. but No Grid Survival , and these nice men can help you learn. 01:32:46 Chad Blake: The word 'meek' doesn't mean what it did during the time of King James, 400 years ago. 01:33:49 mpoling: Don’t be paralyzed by fear! I too am a severely disabled single lady without any “community” to band together with, and that’s sad, but I view myself as a protector and not victim. I know no one I know is prepared or is getting ready, but I let them know I will be there for them. Then, when it gets bad, they can help me with the physical things I need help with, and I have the knowledge and stuff. 01:34:13 UtahValley Permaculture: I will thank you 01:34:52 mpoling: Reacted to "I will thank you" with ❤️ 01:35:06 Abby G.: Reacted to "Don’t be paralyzed b…" with ❤️ 01:36:16 james: Could we cancel screen share for now, please. 01:36:44 Dean: Can you recommend anyone for building bunkers/safe rooms ? 01:36:50 UtahValley Permaculture: apnews.com just reported 9/10/24 reported 9 Russian cities attacked by drone attacks one woman killed in Moscow and 9 injured 2nd attack on Russia US soldier only can run the drones, so US was involved. Why during the Debate did no news nor still today no news reporting this? They are pushing Russia to WWIII, and Russia has vowed to use nuclear. 01:40:22 Alex: I ordered potassium iodide from the TACDA site today. 01:41:09 UtahValley Permaculture: Army Surplus stores have those and radiation testers, etc. 01:42:19 UtahValley Permaculture: utahvalleypermaculture@gmail.com 01:42:28 Mary Campbell: Door to door sounds dangerous to me. A better approach would be to send that "Bible" info to your local supervisors.?? 01:42:34 Alex: One advantage to TACDA is quality expertise. 01:43:12 Mary Campbell: Enjoyed this presentation. Thanks guys. 01:44:31 james: Good presentation and discussions, thanks. 01:46:11 Lisa: It is important to assess and discern where each individual is, as to whether they can even handle the discussion. "Recency bias" is real. 01:46:33 mpoling: I am under 40, but I do not use social media… sorry. 01:47:16 Webb: 😍 I love that idea. I love making mems ! 01:47:17 UtahValley Permaculture: Memes though are being censored . You keep going girl. 01:47:30 Webb: Reacted to "Memes though are bei..." with 👍
