I'm not too worried about it myself, I don't think it's an iminant scenario, but it dawned on me, unless you were actualy listening to the radio or watching TV, you probably wouldn't know a thing about it, and for those in the hit zone, panic would only last a few minutes, and it wouldn't matter how fast you moved, it would be useless.
I'm just wondering how, with massive infrastructure destruction, and the resultant panic of the rest, what plans any area has, or is Britain just going to do a titanic impression.
Do we know what to do?
Are medications in place in your area?
I do know our local chemist has no potassium iodide in stock and not planning to get any, ( and I am aware of its limited use.)
I'm just curious as to what local areas have planned. I shall be contacting both my local and county to ask them what they have in place so that hopefully, I can be prepared for myself and able to help others...providing I'm not vaporised!
People should be prepared to a point, and to at least know whether they are on their own or not.
I'm not having a massive wobble about it, but it came up in conversation with another friend, who asked me what would happen here, should the worst happen. I had no idea.
Unfortunately I don't think the mass public would be subject to such 'plans' for safety or warnings.
I just think that the way we are told information by the upper echelon, they already have their contingency information, and therefore people in the 'know' or of any significance will already be catered for and the rest of us left like you said - the titanic, all captains of our sinking ships.
I just have no faith in any other scenario.
No warnings, no help, no handouts until its needed and then maybe radio broadcasted information.
Infrastructure damage will certainly hinder our communications.
Potassium Iodide will certainly be difficult to aquire for the average person in the current circumstances- countries have been stockpiling it in the last few months.
I may be completely wrong, any others in certain sectors may know otherwise, but that's just my opinion.
