Yup.
I wish you could buy them at Target. They are expensive online. Iodine tabs that is.
I actually think this is pretty good advice - stay inside.
I’d like to know how much time, on average, you’ve got before fallout starts coming in.
I know that the plan we have is to shelter in place (school, work, home) and then wait for somebody from the family to come get you. Since we live and work within three miles of home, you can gather family by foot and get them back home pretty readily. The kids school is two blocks away and a designated shelter. Wife works three miles away and can hoof it back to the house within an hour.
Same with me.
Once home, we’re pretty well set.
If you want to know for sure when it gets there, get one of these (~$600).
It all depends on the size of the blast, wind direction, and how dirty the bomb was. I suppose you could estimate by knowing how long it takes a rain storm to typically get from there to where you are.
Most of the short lived isotopes should be gone in a couple of days. If it is a dirty bomb with lots of Cs 137 etc., wait for a rainstorm before you go outside.
