Throwing these civil defense and nuclear war survival files up for all to download. Traveling this weekend so have just a short time, but, wanted to highlight these and make them easily available. I’ll work on organizing these better and have many more that I will add soon. I’ll update all when I do.
Two books in particular – Nuclear War Survival Skills and Life After Doomsday(out of print)- are fantastic resources.
Here you go:
Wow what a graphic- ominous ! I have the book -Nuclear War survival skills.
Not so sure I would want to survive-due to all the deadly nuclear fallout.
As a child we had to jump under our desks in drills .. “If you see the flash dash” -by then we all would have been zapped. Anyone else remember those?These were the cold war days-now we are back in the hot zone .

And people, don’t fall for the “take potassium iodide, potassium iodate and it will protect you from radiation poisoning”. That is now going around a lot, many ‘preparedness experts’ and bloggers are pimping it on their sites. and The hard facts is, that it only protects people – mainly children and teens from absorbing a certain radioactive isotope into their thyroid gland. It will NOT protect you from alpha, beta, or gama radiation and according to the CDC papers, adults over the age of 40 may actually have a allergic reaction to taking it – generally hives and possible anaphylaxis.

While you are correct on potassium iodide not protecting against all types of radiation – it does assist in stopping the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine. You will see that I suggest the purchase of Potassium Iodide as if you believe you are to be exposed to radiation I think the risk is well worth the potential protection.
Well JR, I don’t need to worry about it. My thyroid was destroyed when I was a very young kid in the early 50’s. I had radiation treatments for an enlarged thyroid gland. I shrunk it alright…and then Agent Orange did it in.
