01:06:10 Michael Suflita: What is the approximate blast magnitude of anticipated bombs from Russia? 01:07:49 Logan VanLeigh: The best answers are classified, but the estimates made public are that large urban areas face weapons from 100kt to 1 Mt ( 1,000kt) 01:09:08 Michael Suflita: How many "halvings" are recommended for adequate protection? 01:09:08 Logan VanLeigh: Expect the same from China. The physics don't change. As for NK or a terrorist attack (Iran et al) they'll likely be much smaller. 01:09:54 Logan VanLeigh: Halvings are more a fallout issue. I'd expect that to be covered in Pt II 01:10:12 Mike Kirby: Helpful background: https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ 01:10:28 John Parks: Reacted to "Helpful background: ..." with 👍 01:10:47 Rich Stephens: good to go here. 01:18:46 Rich Stephens: folks I am sorry. I have the flu, I need to lay down. Try next week. 01:19:03 Dana R.: Feel better! 01:23:13 Michael Suflita: How do you harden plumbing lines? For individual septic tanks. 01:24:20 Michael Suflita: FYI, there are EMP paints available for rooms. 01:30:22 Mike Douty: What should you look for in selecting an architect to design a shelter? 01:33:27 Michael Suflita: What do you mean by 'bury at twice their diameter:? 01:39:43 Roseanne Hassett Exec.

Based on predicted military and administrative targets, the closest we are is 9 miles to a likely primary or secondary target. We are at 800 ft elevation (slightly up on mountainside). 01:41:02 John Parks: 2 questions, please: (1) Given the volcanic island geology here, how do blast shelter design requirements change in any way? (2) Assuming a high concentration of multiple primary target strikes within a 10-20 mile radius area, does multiple strike scenario change design requirements in any way? Example: simultaneous strikes on Pearl Harbor + Camp Smith + Fort Shafter + Tripler Army Hospital (all within 10 miles of one another) 01:41:06 John Parks: Thank you. 01:43:32 Roseanne Hassett Exec.

Digging down a few feet you will find water (depending on our rain weather) How does one keep the water back? 01:47:24 Michael Suflita: Will you be discussing the air handling system? 01:47:48 Roseanne Hassett Exec. Dir.

Like maybe one corrugated pipe inside another with insulation between them. 01:54:20 Dana R.: Will the slide deck be shared? 01:57:15 Dana R.: This is a ton of wonderful information, thank you Sharon! 01:57:58 John Parks: Thank you Sharon and TACDA. This seminar is very informative and timely. Much appreciated! 01:59:08 iPhone: Thanks for this presentation!!! 01:59:24 Logan VanLeigh: Back in the 60's the bigger concern in shelter management was getting rid of excess heat, not staying warm 01:59:39 Peter Shaw: Thanks, Sharon!
