Download or read book Survive the Bomb written by Eric G. Swedin and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the American government’s Cold War national defense measures and public communications regarding protection from nuclear disaster. The launch of Russia’s Sputnik satellite in 1957 began an era where American citizens were haunted by fears of annihilation. Baby Boomers will remember Bert the Turtle, who instructed them how to “duck and cover.” Survive the Bomb documents other U.S. government efforts to calm the collective psyche with nuclear survival handouts. These cheerful and naïve representations unintentionally inspired countless schoolchildren to question authority at an early age. This strange era reached its peak in 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, lasting at least until the fall of the Berlin Wall. The nightmare still lingers today with the terrorist threat of dirty bombs and efforts by countries like Iran and North Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals. In addition to Civil Defense brochures and pamphlets from the period, Survive the Bomb includes: · Aftermath descriptions and casualty estimates at various distances from a nuclear blast · Civil Defense reports and recommendations to the United States Congress and President · Declassified nuclear wargame scenarios where the Department of Defense imagined the unimaginable · An introduction and commentaries by Cold War historian Eric G. Swedin

Download or read book Nuclear War and Child Safety A Comprehensive Survival Manual written by Manual Support.corp and published by Manual Support.corp. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children represent the most vulnerable segment of the population during any disaster, and nuclear war is no exception. Their developing bodies and immune systems are more susceptible to the harmful effects of radiation, and they require special attention to ensure their physical health and psychological well-being. The physiological differences between children and adults mean that radiation exposure can have more severe and lasting impacts on younger individuals. For instance, children's cells divide more rapidly, which can result in higher sensitivity to radiation and increased risk of long-term health issues such as cancer. In addition to the physical dangers, the psychological trauma of experiencing a nuclear event can profoundly affect a child's mental health. Unlike adults, children may not fully comprehend the situation, making it harder for them to process fear and anxiety. This manual emphasizes strategies to provide emotional support and maintain a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic environment. Activities that keep children engaged and routines that provide structure are vital in helping them cope with the upheaval. Furthermore, children depend entirely on adults for their survival needs. This dependency underscores the importance of parents and caregivers being thoroughly prepared to meet the specific requirements of their children during a nuclear emergency. From ensuring adequate nutrition and hydration to providing comfort and reassurance, the role of a caregiver extends far beyond mere physical protection. By focusing on the needs of children, we can develop a comprehensive approach to preparedness that safeguards our future generations.
Download or read book Surviving the Apocalypse written by N. E. MacDougald and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apocalypse could arrive at any moment, but with Surviving the Apocalypse, you'll be well-prepared and well-trained enough to survive any disaster—even the end of the world as we know it. Being prepared for what’s out there is important—you have to know what to do when everything falls apart. Knowing how to survive the end of the world as we know it will prepare you for anything and everything that could possibly go wrong. From packing the proper survival kit, to surviving on the battlefield, being physically fit, and coping in the event of a socio-economic collapse, Soldier of Fortune magazine, along with N. E. MacDougald, will make sure that you’re never caught off-guard in any situation, from natural and economic disasters to pandemics and civil unrest—even nuclear war. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with real-world, practical information that will help them to not only survive, but thrive during a period that is likely not just another downturn in the economic cycle, but according the many experts, instead the beginning of a long downward slide, and possibly the very peak in our 10,000-year experiment of civilization. While you may not plan on being in a war zone, you never know what will happen, so the best thing to always do is be prepared. Whether it's learning how to barter and haggle, how to get the proper camouflage, or how to choose the right weapon for any situation, MacDougald and Surviving the Apocalypse will give you the training and knowledge that goes into surviving any and every dangerous situation imaginable.
Download or read book The Complete Nuclear Survival Guide written by Tom W. Linden and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was an N.C.O. instructor with the Royal Observer Corps for 12 years specialising in the Effects of Nuclear Weapons. I was given exemption from the entry exam due to my level of experience and became a member of the Institute of Civil defence giving me the appellation M.I.C.D. I remained a member between 1987 and 1992. I was for 4 years a North Yorkshire County Council Community Defence Adviser and helped to provide the countries first ever emergency survey of a town to provide an action plan for that community, that town was Harrogate. I also ran my own survival school in North Yorkshire in the 80's as well as a survival club for local kids. I suspect that there are many of you who would wish to be able to protect their families should our enemies decide to explode a 'dirty bomb' on British soil for example. We would I believe be extremely foolish to discount the potential for another Chernobyl or a Fuchishima type incident to occur affecting us here in the UK, Or to suffer our very own British nuclear accident as our nuclear plants grow ever older. This is not forgetting the dangers posed by the now developed long range nuclear weapons held by Iran and Syria, both of which I consider to be rogue states. And not forgetting North Korea and it's threat to launch nuclear missiles. Experiencing a nuclear event is almost impossible for us to contemplate for obvious reasons, as it would be the end of the world. But would it? We as a world have had around 2,000 nuclear test explosions and we are still here, the world has not ended, life goes on, does it not? The question is if you survived the initial effects of a nuclear explosion would you have the knowledge and the skills to survive the residual effects? That is where my Complete Nuclear Survival Guide comes in, as by keeping it with you in your bug-out-bag, you will not only know where to find it but if you bug-out, so along goes this valuable survival information although as you will read later. I actually recommend bugging-in. The Complete Nuclear Survival Guide will give you the facts and figures to SURVIVE!!! Tom W. Linden

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nuclear Survival Manual: Bosdec the Concrete Curtain The simple minded man who doesn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain has been the bench mark of stupidity for a long time. He is about to lose his place to the man who doesn't have sense enough to come in out of the fallout. Many people use the stock expression I don't want to live like a mole or a rabbit and dive into a hole when in danger. In effect these people are saying that they don't have as much sense as a rabbit. Why should people be subjected to ridicule for a natural desire to seek protection from danger? A nuclear attack would turn our entire country into a war theatre. Each citizen would become a soldier in a battle for survival. Every army in modern history has dug in for protection. Has any stigma ever been attached to a command to dig foxholes or trenches? What is so sensible about standing out in the open and inviting destruction?
