bring people information more rapidly
Washington, B.C., Yukon and Alaska

(NaturalNews) The New York Times report that a radiation plume will reach
California by Friday has a lot of people asking us for more information
about what to do. (See http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/s.) Fortunately,
the amount of radiation that would actually fall on California (or Oregon,
Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, etc.) is currently very small. Too
small to pose a serious health risk for right now.
The time to get really concerned is if - and only if - the Fukushima
reactors suffer a fuel rod "meltdown" event which would release a massive
amount of radiation into the atmosphere. The United Nations has calculated
that such an event would send a cloud of very powerful radiation headed
eastward, arriving on the shores of the United States and Canada within 2-3
days after the meltdown, depending on wind patterns.
Importantly, this will give you some time to take action should such an
event occur. The next 24 - 48 hours are crucial in Japan's effort to stop
the nuclear fuel rod meltdown. It is entirely unknown whether Japan can
succeed in stopping it. The situation remains dire.
Important action items to take right now
If you live in the western states or provinces of North America, it is
extremely important to be prepared by taking the following actions RIGHT
NOW:
1) Fuel up your vehicle(s) and be ready to hit the road for a possible
evacuation (or hunker down if you're out in the country and feel like you
would be safer there).
2) If you plan to stay put, go to the hardware store TODAY and buy large
amounts of plastic sheeting and duct tape to seal up your windows and doors.
This will help protect you from radioactive fallout. You will also need to
store water, food, and all the usual emergency supplies because outside help
probably won't be available.
3) If you plan to evacuate, have a "Go Bag" ready to go at a moment's
notice. This go bag should include a water filter, emergency radio,
flashlight, duct tape, emergency knife, spare cash, whatever medical
supplies you might need, extra food and water, spare fuel cans and so on.
Have it ready now in case you need it.
4) Significantly increase your intake of iodine-containing foods and
superfoods starting right now: Seaweeds are a great source. We've listed our
entire inventory of what we have available at our store
(http://www.naturalnews.com/031730_i.), but I would actually prefer you to
go out and get this locally TODAY at your local health food stores, where
possible. You may not have time to wait on a UPS delivery. Fortunately, our
store ships from Ojai, California, meaning that if you order foods from us
today that are in stock, and you're in California, you could receive them
very, very quickly (within 1-2 business days).
5) If you have potassium iodide pills (radiation pills), don't take them
yet. Keep them ready to take if and only if a meltdown event occurs and a
massive dose of radiation has been released into the atmosphere.
6) Have a plan for you and your family. Where will you meet if you need to
evacuate? Don't count on cell phones working. Have a plan of where to go,
how to get there and how to survive once you get there.
Why you probably won't be told the truth on all this by "official" sources
Hopefully none of this will be necessary. If they can stop the meltdown at
Fukushima, there is virtually no real radiation risk in North America. That's
the outcome we're all hoping and praying for.

But if a meltdown takes place, it is almost certain that strong winds will
push a massive radiation cloud right into North America within a matter of
days, potentially dropping an extremely dangerous quantity of radioactive
material on California or other regions. That's the scenario that we all
need to be prepared to guard against.
Do not rely on your government to tell you the truth about what's happening.
Governments are in the business of "preventing panic" by withholding
information you need to know. Governments believe that if too many people
know the truth, it might start a panic, and even more people could die in
the panic than from the event itself. They may actually be correct at some
level on that, but I believe that people have a right to know what's really
going on. And the sober, shocking truth of the matter is that as of right
now, our world is facing an unprecedented nuclear meltdown event that could
dwarf the Chernobyl catastrophe of 1986. We're talking about as many as
600,000 spent fuel rods which are now threatened by fires and loss of
cooling fluids. This is not a set of circumstances to be taken lightly.
I urge all NaturalNews readers to take this seriously. Get prepared now. Get
your go bag ready just in case. Start boosting your natural iodine intake
TODAY. Be ready to head out of Dodge if you're in a geographic area that
could be impacted. And then watch the news on this to stay informed (and
read NaturalNews for an honest analysis of the situation).
The sad realities of the evacuation of large cities
Another thing: If a meltdown does occur and an evacuation is announced for
parts of the west coast of North America, you will need to be one of the
first to head out if you expect to get out at all. The highways around Los
Angeles in particular do not have the capacity to handle a mass evacuation.
They barely have the capacity to handle rush hour! Imagine what happens if
half the people in L.A. try to leave all at the same time. that will be a
week-long traffic jam, and people will run out of gas on the highways,
abandon their vehicles, and make the highways impassable.
I don't mean to paint this as a worst-case scenario, but I'm trying to give
you an accurate description of what might realistically happen if a
radiation cloud is headed toward LA and an evacuation effort is announced.
If you aren't out of LA by the time the government announces an evacuation,
you're probably too late.
By the way, this is actually a good time to own a Prius because a Prius can
idle without the engine running and use virtually no gas. A Prius is a great
getaway vehicle for jammed evacuation highways where traffic is barely
moving. Of course, if you had a Hummer, you could probably just off-road it
and bypass all the stalled traffic, but that's a debate for another time.
Be safe and be smart about all this. Think ahead. Get real about what might
unfold if a meltdown occurs. This is a time to interrupt your
regularly-scheduled programming and start thinking seriously about what you
can do to protect yourself and your family. It's better to be prepared than
to be caught by the unexpected.
We are lucky in one sense right now because we have forewarning of all this.
There is time right now to take preparedness steps to deal with a meltdown
event should one occur. I strongly advise all NaturalNews readers to use
this time wisely and get squared away for what might be coming.
Just in case, you see. Most of the time, when I preach preparedness, I do so
in the context of just getting prepared for "the unexpected." But today, we
have the expected! We know Fukushima is about to melt down. We know the
winds will carry the radiation to North America. We know that evacuation of
major U.S. cities in 48 hours is virtually impossible. And we also know that
the supply inventories of certain preparedness items are strictly limited,
meaning that not everybody who wants emergency supplies will be able to get
them. These are the sobering realities of emergencies in our modern,
high-population-density world.
Watch NaturalNews.com for more updates throughout the day. We'll be posting
stories at an increased frequency during this Fukushima catastrophe to help
bring people information more rapidly.
