Thanks for the info. I've read most of the online version of Nuclear Survival Skills.

We have no basement, I can't dig a fallout shelter by myself, even if I could, we had so much rain last year that we would drown in one if we had to use it and got as much rain as last year.

I did buy the pills 3 years ago.
Did ya'll know that U.S. Postal Employees were given KI pills? They gave my husband enough for a couple days. That made him even more supportive of me. I had already bought 2 bottles. I wanted enough to give to family memebers. And I gave him extra in case he is stuck in the area. He works 10 miles from the nuclear plant. That's why he got them, I guess all U.S.Postal service employees that work within a certain radius of a nuclear plant got them last summer.

If I had the money, I'd buy one of those key chain things to detect radiation that's one of the things that is still on my list when I get the money. One of the other things is a generator.

I'm a USPS employee myself. The USPS issued a notice to all employees in our facility about the KI pills, and seeing as we are nowhere near a nuclear facility, I am assuming this was done on a widespread basis. Employees had to sign a consent form saying they would accept issuance of the pills.

Since I was out on extended leave at the time due to back surgery, I did not receive any. Glad you brought this subject up; I had forgotten it, but will make sure I follow up on it when I get to work tomorrow.
