Choose a small room (or large closet) in your house to become your “safe-room.” This room will become your only residence whenever you hear of airborne biological weapons being used, or in some cases, when a nuclear blast or melt-down has occurred. During a time of chemical, biological, or nuclear danger, you will not be able to exit the room for any reason. You will need to have certain things in your safe-room, since you will not be able to leave that room for many hours, and possibly many days.
ITEMS TO STORE IN YOUR “SAFE ROOM.”
BIBLE
FLASHLIGHTS & EXTRA BATTERIES. (DO NOT DEPEND ON CANDLES, AS THEY WILL DEPLETE THE OXYGEN REMAINING IN YOUR ROOM).
PORTABLE AM-FM RADIO AND EXTRA BATTERIES FOR IT.
ENOUGH 1 MIL THICK POLYETHYLENE NEEDED TO COMPLETELY SEAL ANY WINDOWS OR DOORS. (USUALLY, A 9’ X 12’ SHEET WILL COVER ANY NEEDED WINDOWS).
SCISSORS (TO CUT POLYETHYLENE).
DUCT TAPE 2” WIDE TO TAPE POLY ONTO WALLS OVER WINDOWS.
ASPIRIN, OR OTHER MEDICATION YOU MAY NORMALLY REQUIRE.
CANNED FOOD FOR ONE TO SEVEN DAYS (ENOUGH TO ‘GET BY,’ NOT HAVE A FEAST ON)
CAN OPENER.
FORKS, SPOONS, KNIVES.
PAPER TOWELS.
SEVERAL LARGE TOWELS TO SEAL UNDER OR OVER DOORS.
SANITARY PRODUCTS.
MEDICATIONS YOU USUALLY TAKE.
ANTIBIOTICS.
POTASSIUM IODIDE TABLETS.
SEVERAL GALLONS OF BOTTLED WATER.
LARGE 1 GALLON ZIP-LOCK BAGGIES.
LARGE TRASH BAGS WITH TIES.
A CLOCK, OR WATCH.
DO NOT BRING OR ATTEMPT TO USE CANNED HEAT, CANDLES, OR OTHER OXYGEN-BURNING MATERIALS FOR LIGHT, COOKING, OR HEAT. *(They will deplete your oxygen more quickly, and could create a dangerous environment if your room is truly air-tight).
*IF YOU HAVE A CELL-PHONE, TRY TO GET INTO HABIT OF KEEPING IT IN YOUR SAFEROOM WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING IT ELSEWHERE.
*(Some people choose to use their bathroom as their “saferoom,” for good reasons, although some bathrooms may prove to be too small).
PREPARING YOUR SAFEROOM:
1. MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOUR INVENTORY IS IN YOUR SAFEROOM.
2. FILL UP SINKS AND TUBS WITH WATER. In addition to the gallons of water you will bring there,you will automatically have an additional supply available.
3. SEAL WINDOWS WITH POLYETHYLENE SHEETS. Most bathrooms have very limited window space, making it easier to seal whatever windows exist. Any glass surfaces, such as shower doors, mirrors, etc., must be cross-taped with duct tape to limit the possibility of breaking glass.
4. SEAL ANY OPENINGS, VENTS, ETC. WITH POLYETHYLENE AND DUCT-TAPE.
5. MONITOR NEWS AND WEATHER REPORTS FOR INFORMATION.
6. ONCE YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT RADIATION OR CHEMICAL WEAPONS POSE AN ACTUAL AND IMMEDIATE THREAT, GO TO YOUR SAFEROOM, AND CLOSE THE DOOR, AND SEAL IT FROM THE INSIDE.
7. SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT ALUMINUM FOIL, USED AS A TEMPORARY WALL-PAPER COULD DEFLECT A PORTION OF SOME TYPES OF RADIATION.
