18:00:47 From Scott Freshwaters : Hello Every one, Scott Freshwaters from the Bend, Oregon area. 18:02:55 From phyllis murphy brudjar : Mike and Phyllis from central Arkansas 18:03:23 From K7AK Art New Harmony : During the solar flare I was listening to aircraft. The signals got quite strong, hearing things I usually don't hear. 18:04:00 From zachary lewis : how long can they be stores? 18:07:49 From TACDA : Link for the Nuclear Detonation Survival Card: https://tacda.org/product/nuclear-detonation-survival-card/ 18:16:09 From TACDA : Purchase the TACDA Academy here: https://tacda.org/product/tacda-academy-lesson-manual/ or download a chapter at a time for free here: https://tacda.org/resources/#TACDA-ACADEMY 18:20:16 From TACDA : Learn all about Nuclear Weapons Effects: Journal of Civil Defense 2022, Vol. 57, I-2, Nuclear Weapons Effects for purchase: https://tacda.org/product/journal-of-civil-defense-2022-vol-57-i-2-nuclear-weapons-effects/ or free download here: https://tacda.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/JOURNAL-OF-CIVIL-DEFENSE-2022-Oct-Issue-interactive2.pdf 18:21:43 From TACDA : The tablets Sharon is referring to are KIO3 which you can purchase here: https://tacda.org/product/potassium-iodate-kio3-170mg-anti-radiation-tablets/ 18:23:17 From Steven Schotter : How effective are potassium iodide tablets? 18:25:52 From TACDA : When taken properly and at the right time, KI saturates your thyroid gland with stable (non-radioactive) iodine, reducing the amount of radioactive iodine your body absorbs. This helps prevent thyroid cancer, particularly in children and young adults, who are most vulnerable. 18:26:40 From Steven Schotter : Thank you. 18:28:10 From TACDA : The information Sharon is referring to about protection factor can be found in this journal: Expedient Sheltering https://tacda.org/product/journal-of-civil-defense-2024-vol-59-i-1-expedient-sheltering/ for purchase and here for a free download: https://tacda.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-Vol.-59-I-1-Expedient-Sheltering.pdf 18:30:41 From Steven Schotter : I am 30 miles from the closest likely target, and I plan on using my basement as a shelter. Should I add shielding or is this adequate distance? The prevailing winds would not blow fallout my direction 18:32:20 From ross raney : Front Range of Colorado from Cheyenne to Pueblo is a target. No place to hide. 18:33:37 From TACDA : A basement is good shelter but not completely adequate. The journal of civil defense Expedient Sheltering will teach you how to prepare your basement shelter. The link to this journal is listed above in this chat. 18:35:47 From TACDA : Here is information about EMP: The Threat of EMP free download: https://tacda.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-Vol-56-Issue-2-The-Threat-of-EMP.pdf and for purchase here: https://tacda.org/product/journal-of-civil-defense-2021-volume-56-issue-2-the-threat-of-emp/ it is also taught in the TACDA Academy which is posted in this chat 18:39:00 From TACDA : Sanitation and Water Storage is also taught in the TACDA Academy and this journal is a great source for water storage: for purchase: https://tacda.org/product/journal-of-civil-defense-2020-vol-54-issue-1-water-the-absolute-basic/ and free download: https://tacda.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/JOURNAL-OF-CIVIL-DEFENSE-2020-ISSUE1-FINAL-NoCrops.pdf 18:40:06 From BrianH : She just mentioned battery powered radios. You can get radios that run on battery, solar and hand crank 18:40:15 From TACDA : Here is a link for the dosimeters sharon was referring to: https://tacda.org/product-category/radiation-detection-filtration/ 18:40:33 From christina k. : What is TBA? 18:41:23 From BrianH : also radio communications such as walkie talkies, mobioe/base radios, FRS/GMRS, Amature (HAM) Radio, CB Radio ect. GMRS and HAm reaquire a FCC license but you dont need a license during times of emergency crisis ect 18:42:23 From TACDA : Replying to "What is TBA?" I'm not sure, I'll ask Sharon- 18:42:48 From TACDA : Reacted to "also radio communica..." with 👍 18:43:37 From christina k. : Reacted to "I'm not sure, I'll a..." with 👍 18:46:13 From GK : Excellent Presentation 18:46:22 From Elaine Kearney : thank you very much for sharing these resources! 18:46:51 From MTMMB : Do you know if the winds of the stratoshpere change direction? Is there a way to monitor them? 18:47:08 From Luisa Watson : Reacted to "Excellent Presenta..." with 👍 18:47:16 From Karyn : Please repeat about whether or not to eat eggs 18:47:18 From MTMMB : Trying to guage fallout risks. 18:47:28 From BrianH : Very good presentation thank you very much. I got more information on Nuclear tonight than I ever have. The government doesn't share enough information with the public about this topic. Very glad to be a member of TACDA 18:48:20 From Dave : How do you filter water that has fallout in it? 18:48:40 From Steven Schotter : For the fallout that ends up in the water, how long should water be assumed to be unsafe from radiation? I am assuming all surface water and underground water will eventually be contaminated after fallout and rain. 18:48:44 From mpoling : Excellent presentation. Thank you. We have a farm with sheep, chickens, and two high tunnels, like plastic covered greenhouses. What protection and water supply methods can you suggest? 18:48:55 From BrianH : So people may need to take those tablets up to 2 weeks after a nuclear emergency or attack? 18:49:05 From tsorr : my radiation meters are in cieverts, is there a conversion to rads? 18:50:42 From TACDA : The things you can and can't eat that Sharon is talking about can be found in TACDA Academy which is listed above in the chat with a link. Also the filtering of water with fallout will be in the TACDA Academy 18:51:04 From Gary : I live in a manufactured home. I have planned to place cement blocks as my inside shelter but the most difficult to provide fallout safety is overhead. 18:52:08 From christina k. : Reacted to "Please repeat about ..." with 👍 18:52:31 From Bill Wells : Will this presentation be avoided to view again? 18:52:34 From mpoling : Excellent presentation. Thank you. We have a farm with sheep and chickens, like plastic covered greenhouses. What protection and water supply methods can you suggest for our animals to protect them? 18:53:15 From Rick Kephart : Seychelle makes some fallout water filters. I don’t know how good they are or how much the cost. I purchased some several years ago. I may have spelled the name wrong and I am not connected to them in any way. 18:53:33 From Dave : Thanks for providing this service. 18:55:25 From vince : WHAT IMPACT WILL THE ELIMINATION OF FEMA HAVE ON SURVIVORS 18:55:31 From MTMMB : Do you know if the winds of the stratoshpere change direction, or are they always west to east? Is there a way to monitor them? I'm trying to calculate fallout risk. 18:56:26 From Marcus’s iPhone : Could one use bags of dirt like what is sold at Costco as improvised materials to help with radiation protection or could one perhaps wheel water barrels into house as well 18:57:04 From Brent Michael Hardin : May we get Sharon’s website again you provided at the beginning of the presentation please? 18:57:06 From mpoling : How do you shelter farm animals for their safety? 18:57:20 From phyllis murphy brudjar : would you briefly cover exposer limits for personal exposure safey Mike 18:57:24 From Scott Freshwaters : Thank you, great presentation! 18:57:29 From Luisa Watson : Sharon's website 18:57:35 From Marcus’s iPhone : I have even thought of making walls of 24 packs of water bottles from Costco 18:59:00 From mpoling : Thank you. 19:00:13 From Lee Engle : try windy.com 19:00:33 From K7AK Art New Harmony : utahsheltersystems.com Underground Shelters USA 19:00:40 From MTMMB : Got it.
