Right now, everyone in Hawaii and the west coast of the USA needs to be taking KI

I'm in Seattle. What's KI?

Potassiom iodide

Or eat a quarter pounder and a banana.

0857: The BBC’s Nick Ravenscroft was on his way towards Fukushima, but about 60km from the plant was stopped by the police and told it was too dangerous to proceed. He says there is lots of traffic coming in the other direction. Authorities in vehicles with sirens are making public announcements to the crowds.

Potassium Iodide.

Get it quickly

KI = Potassium Iodide.

If you were in the local area, that would be warranted and, in fact, gov't officials have said they are making it available to locals near the plant in Japan. Keep in mind they ordered evacuations of a 10km radius many hours ago and just extended the existing evacuation era for the 2nd plant to 10km as well.

Do you need KI in the lower 48, 5000 miles away? No, certainly not now. You'd be doing far more harm than good.
