Whether it’s a dirty bomb or a missile strike, knowing what to do in the event of a nuclear attack is important. This isn’t an everyday emergency – hopefully, we’ll never need to use any of these resources. But if current events have you stressed, check out the resources below and make some preparations.

Let me reiterate this: I am not warning of any kind of imminent nuclear attack. While anything can happen, this is strictly a roundup of nuclear preparedness resources, because I’d rather be ready and not need it than need it and not be ready.

On-Demand Webinar

A while back, we recorded a webinar with my good friend Chuck Hudson who spent several hours with us to share his knowledge about nuclear attacks.

He is a retired Army Ranger medic who specialized in nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare during his time in the service. He has been an NBC since 1981 and became a medic in 1983 for the HHC 1/75th. As he increased in rank, he went from a Decon/Recon specialist to taking part in weather forecasting for fallout, performing offensive NBC planning. He went to Leningrad (modern-day St. Petersburg) as part of a team to monitor the radiation plume from Chernobyl as it crossed to Finland. Chuck has served in combat zones around the world and works in the civilian medical field today.

Best of all, he’s a prepper, just like us, so he understands the kind of information we are seeking and he provides it in plain English without all the jargon.

A lot of people have this image of a nuclear wasteland, barren and desolate, but this is not the case.  If you are not at Ground Zero, this is entirely survivable as long as you know what to do to give yourself a fighting chance. That is what preppers are all about: giving ourselves the best possible chance when the chips are down.

Be prepared instead of scared.

I’m not posting these resources because I think that nuclear warheads are looming over us.  But in volatile situations, anything can happen. I’d rather know what to expect so I can prep for it and think through my situation than be taken completely by surprise if the worst should happen. The steps I take to learn more are steps that protect the people I love.

Are you concerned about the possibility of a nuclear attack or a dirty bomb? Do you have a plan in place?
