    Default Are you more worried about nuke proliferation these days?

    Given what has been going on vis-a-vis the nuke negotiations between the US and Iran, I am thinking more about the possibility of nuclear proliferation than in past years. My questions are if this is getting your attention as well, and does this change anything in your preparedness plan?

    Not just a plan to avoid or deal with the effects of one or more nuke detonations, but also EMP, dirty bomb, or other threats.

    I added two geiger counters and potassium iodide to the bunker.

    I tend to focus more on scenarios like natural disaster, prolonged power outages and (like Wulf wrote) economic problems. I really should start to think about chemical spill hazards since I live not too far from railroad tracks.

    This, 18T in debt and growing.

    ETA - The push into stawks and other financial instruments. The push away from savings and smart spending. The treatment of debt as as asset, the acceptance of sloth via EBT cards and government assistance.

    The chances of a nuclear attack are very slim, the nations considering attacking us with nuclear weapons have to take into consideration their own annihilation.

    I think nukes are the thing I'm least worried about. The threat seems over blown to me.

    Voluntary evac or some bracelets are your options.

    At very least get a list of the important stuff together and keep it on a clipboard

    Any iodine will work. Betedine is far more universal than the thyroid pills.

    When we have an islamist sympathizer in office, a Corrupt / Racially biased DOJ, dishonest IRS, democratic leaders who "weep" during Israeli PM's speech. Nuclear button pushing is not even on my radar.

    Kazoo nails it. It's like people think ISIS can deliver a nuke to Ft. Collins.
    Now, Obama can do it, that concerns me.

    OH, and where the heck did you find not one, but two Geiger counters???
