A nuclear attack on US soil would most likely target one of six cities: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Washington, DC.
But public-health experts say any of those cities would struggle to provide emergency services to the wounded.
The cities also no longer have designated fallout shelters to protect people from radiation.

The chance that a nuclear bomb would strike a US city is slim, but nuclear experts say it's not out of the question.
A nuclear attack in a large metropolitan area is one of the 15 disaster scenarios for which the US Federal Emergency Management Agency has an emergency strategy. The agency's plan involves deploying first responders, providing immediate shelter for evacuees, and decontaminating victims who have been exposed to radiation.

well, they could start with the following, as it wouldn't cost that much and would be just as effective as any other "planning" for a nuclear attack:
On second thought, no, for their motivation is rebellion against basically sound government and gaining control instead thru control, and thus they do not want nuke electrical generation either.
And how many yards can service nuke carriers?
Who makes these lists.
It has to be btter than this: This Russian nuke hit list includes bases that have been closed for years
[I am sure this causes the Israelis to sleep better at night.]
The whole world (essentially) will eventually come against Israel.
It’s just a matter of time.
The whole world is in for the surprise of their lives when they do. /preaching to the choir
Of course, they don’t believe it.
They will. Too late for them, but they will.
Laugh, unbelieving world. Laugh. Laugh now. You won’t later.
I know you already know that, BTW.
For the thread.
What is the common chemical to have to help off-set radiation poisoning?
[ And exactly how do you prepare? ]
1) move far away from those cities.
2) soda and popcorn. Lawn chair.
3) watch the horizon glow.
You can’t prepare, but our inept and impotent gov’t is actually facilitating this if it ever happens.
Iodine
Mare Island is out, LA is gone too, nothing in Hawaii. Only Brimmerton 8s left and it has an inland passage.
Iodine - KI (potassium iodide) is what we were issued when TMI melted down, many years ago.
How does one prepare to be nuked??????
Thats what people dont get who mock desk drills. It was for people like you who were a survivable distance outside of the blast zone. Kids were under desks to protect them from flying glass from the shockwave. And to give little kids a sense of security and the sense that the adults were in control of the situation.
I thought the Soviets got scared of the 100 megatons and made it to only yield 50 megatons?
well...
My dad had one of those in the 70s, I bet it’s still somewhere in the house. What’s the price on ebay, lol?
Ironically this morning a homeless guy died on then steps of City Hall East,
Ah, yes! Iodine- potassium iodide. I knew it was something simple, but forgot. Thanks!
I live 12 miles -the way a bird flys- from NYC. Probably OK here, but just the thought of a nuclear attack anywhere is unsettling.
Sure thing.
We have a young friend who’s an AJ fan in a BIG way. We got a bottle of iodine drops from him.
