A FEMA document about nuclear explosions reveals the utter fatuousness of our bureaucracy
American Thinker ^ | 29 Feb, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Only bureaucrats could waste time and taxpayer money doing this kind of thing.

No matter the purpose for which they’re established, bureaucracies often become ends in themselves, self-perpetuating entities that generate paper to justify their existence. That seems to be the case with FEMA, at least insofar as its rules for nuclear disasters go. Some poor desk drone was given the task of updating FEMA documents to reflect the CDC’s ridiculous COVID requirements. That drone worked hard, with the result being that the FEMA guidelines for a nuclear explosion now include masks and social distancing in bomb shelters.

Once again, Libs of Tik Tok has the news on her irreplaceable Twitter account. She (or someone with whom she communicates) felt that, with Putin threatening to start a nuclear war, it might be useful to check out the government’s guidance for responding to the fallout from a nuclear attack. That’s how we learn that someone at FEMA laboriously updated FEMA guidelines with CDC requirements about social distancing and masks. And that’s how we end up with these ludicrous advisories:

If there is nuclear war don’t forget to buy your carbon credits to offset the global warming.

Many people may already feel fear and anxiety about the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The threat of a nuclear explosion can add additional stress.

Note also the date the FEMA nuke advice was updated - Feb 25th. Two days before Putin announced a heightened alert.

I can’t believe that we are paying these people, with Chinese borrowed money on top of that.

You need to don some research on the survivability of an nuclear attack.

Suggest reading Cresson Kearny Nuclear War Survival Skills.

Or country has done a great disservice to our population.

With the kiss your ass good bye propaganda.

.Gov has been super stupid for a long time—for those who have not seen it, here is the hilarious “Duck and Cover” video that children were shown in the 1950s:

Note that the first two words of the video sum it up for anyone paying attention:

“Dumb, dumb!”

If there is a nuclear war, we won’t have to worry about Covid. We will be back in the stone ages starting over.

The idiots never mention wind direction: if you and your family are fortunate enough not to have been within range of the blast, thermal, and direct radiation pulse from the weapon(s), you need to see which way the wind is blowing and get upwind, fast. Hiding out in your basement will only protect you for a limited time and any friends or neighbors who show up seeking help who have been exposed will be exhaling radioactive material in your "safe" area.

Better to be in the woods, away from everyone else and upwind.

I thought we’d be getting nuclear winter. Who knew thermonuclear war would actually save the planet?

I remember that. When I was 7 during the Cuban missiles crises, my day packed up the car to leave Los Angeles at a moments notice. I asked where we going. He responded, I don’t know. When the nukes go off, there’s no place to hide.

My soul is prepared, how’s yours.

At our age we are not going anywhere.

If it is our time, it is our time.

I did that in grade school. We were five miles from ground zero in Nashville.
