Suggested Amounts To Store For One Year: From the Federal Emergency Management Agency Uncooked Dry Goods: (Note: We have added the increased caloric need of Pregnant or Nursing Mothers and the growth spurt of Teenagers to Column A and the caloric need of Youths age 7-13 and Seniors to column B.):

	Column A	Column B	Column C
FEMA Recommendations	Adult Male Pregnant or Nursing Mother Some active teenagers 14-18	Adult Female Seniors Some teenagers. Youths age 7 - 13	Small Children age 6 or under
Wheat	275 lbs	175 lbs	60 lbs
Other Grains	125 lbs	115 lbs	50 lbs
Legumes (Beans and Peas)	75 lbs	50 lbs	15 lbs
Sweeteners	65 lbs	60 lbs	40 lbs
Powdered Milk*	60 lbs	60 lbs	80 lbs
Eggs - #10cans*	2 cans	2 cans	1 cans
Salt	10 lbs	10 lbs	2 lbs
* Optional. Not an absolute necessity. (Some info in red ink above added by a retired nurse.)

Using these guidelines we believe that pregnant women & some teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 should be calculated the same as adult males. Youths between 7 and 13 calculated as adult females and children 6 or under at the small children rate. Seniors can manage at the adult female rate Column B. So:

Adult males, pregnant females, nursing mothers and active teenage boys age 14-18 need 1 bucket per month or 12 Buckets/year.

Adult females, most teenage girls, youths between 7 and 13 and inactive Seniors need .825 bucket per month each or 9 buckets/year.

Small children 6 or under need 1/3 bucket per month or 4 buckets/year.

Calculate the number of buckets you need to feed your family by figuring how many are Column A persons, how many are Column B and how many are Column C.

Prepare Your Home and Family For Natural Disasters

Prepare Your Home and Family For Natural Disasters

The world today has changed massively in multitude of ways. The most noticeable among these changes is the evident environmental degradation. Global warming has gravely affected weather conditions. There have been numerous reports of wildfires caused by extreme heat, devastating typhoons, storms, hurricanes and earthquakes. Millions of lives have been taken over by these natural disasters. Preparing your home and family is crucial so you can be shunned away from experiencing grave casualties.

Nothing beats preparedness and you can take on this task in several measures. Firstly, you have to make time in being updated with current news. Regularly tune into radio and television news casts at least once a day. Subscribe to a local newspaper. Search the internet for recent reports of any catastrophe nearby your location.



The next thing you have to do is to prepare emergency kits. Each kit should contain supplies that can last for at least a week. Your supplies should include the following:

- set of clothes – long and short sleeve shirts, shorts, pants, underwear, socks and good walking shoes. Note that you have to prepare clothes according to the type of potential disaster in your area. For example, include a jacket, muffler, ear muffs and gloves if your area is prone to winter storms.

- no-cook foods or non-perishable items like energy bars, meat jerky, dried fruits and nuts

- gallons of water

- medicines, bandages, ointment and cleaning solution for treating minor cuts and wounds

- toiletries like soap and tissue

- Swiss knife

- flashlight, batteries, lighter or water resistant matches, glow sticks

- sleeping bag or huge taffeta cloth

- money – make sure that you have enough cash in small bills, preferably.




Place one bag in your car and somewhere accessible inside your home so that anywhere you might get stuck, you will have supplies. If you have kids, make sure that they also have an emergency backpack kept in their school. Remember to also pack copies of any identification documents. If you have pets, you also have to make sure that they will have enough food, water and medicine. Include their items in your kits. In addition, place their pet carrier nearby the emergency bag.

You should also ensure that your car is always in great shape. Make sure that you have a properly vulcanized spare tire, spare battery, water for the radiator and sufficient gas supply.

In order to protect your important documents, keep them in fireproof and waterproof lock box. Place this near the emergency kit so in case the unfortunate strikes, you can grab all the necessary items in one go. You should also make copies of these papers. Secure it in another location. It would be preferable if you multiple copies so you can secure it in several locations such as the bank, home of your parents, relatives or friends and in your office.

You must also take the time to discuss within your family about safe routes whenever the unexpected happens. It would even be a fun time for you to create “Emergency Route Maps.” Roughly sketch the directions and post this in common areas such as the kitchen, living room and hall way. Specifically instruct the kids on how to respond to disasters. Always remind them that they have to keep calm.

And lastly, to further avert tragedies from happening in your home, ensure that all features and facilities are in well working order. Check if there are exposed electrical wires or damaged wood structures. Constantly tell everyone to remove plugs when no one is around your home.

Guaranteeing your family and home can be protected even if the worst calamities would strike your location is truly priceless.

House planned defense against 'malicious acts' using shock wave

The U.S. Senate has dropped a House-approved plan that would prepare the United States to defend itself from an attack from any electromagnetic pulse source – whether it would be from a natural solar flare or the detonation of a space-located nuclear weapon by enemies intent on destroying America's infrastructure, according to a representative who has raised alarms over EMP.



U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., said it is "unfortunate."

"While one part of the federal government was warning us of possible solar electromagnetic-pulse damage to our electric grid, a key Senate commission approved a bill to ignore this threat," he said.

"It's particularly ironic since the Senate amended a bill, H.R. 5026, approved unanimously by the House that would specifically protect the grid against solar EMP and other physical threats," he said.


WND has reported for years on the devastating danger from an EMP attack that could be launched by a second-rate missile system against America.

The concern is that any nuclear detonation that could be launched into the atmosphere anywhere from 25 to 250 miles above the United States could decimate the nation's electric grid, essentially transporting it instantly back to an era of mechanical machines and agriculture.

One estimate just months ago suggested an effective EMP attack could leave 9 out of 10 Americans dead.

Bartlett explained that the danger also comes from naturally occurring EMP signals from sources such as a solar storm.

Just in the past few days, the Space Weather Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued several alerts concerning a sun flare that happened. The alert forecast a "Coronal Mass Ejection" from the sun would impact the earth.

Then, a short time later, Fox News reported the storm caused "a fantastic light show in North America" and the NOAA estimated the impact ranged from minor to moderate.

"The National Academies of Sciences predicted in a 2008 report that a solar geomagnetic storm as severe as the Carrington event that occurred in 1859 could inflict $1 trillion to $2 trillion [damage] and take 4-10 years to recover from. That compares with the $300 billion impact of Hurricane Katrina," Bartlett noted.

Another report from NASA estimated such a cosmic "superstorm" could cause as much damage as "20 Katrinas."




Whether the damage would come from a natural solar event or a nuclear bomb detonated in the atmosphere over America, the results could be the same for power distributors, telecommunications companies, satellite and aviation-sector companies – a virtual shutdown.

The results for Americans would be a collapse in the delivery system for food, fuel, information and communications.

Bartlett noted EMP from a severe solar geomagnetic storm in 1989 shut down the electric grid in Quebec, and he cited a 2008 study from NASA that found the storm caused $2 billion in damage.

Among its many other impacts, it destroyed a transformer at a nuclear plant in New Jersey, Bartlett's report said.

Even so, Bartlett said, yesterday the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee decided to dump the House plan, H.R. 5026, which directed "the Secretary to establish a program to develop technical expertise in the protection of systems for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy against either geomagnetic storms or malicious acts using electronic communications or electromagnetic pulse."

Instead, adopted was a Senate plan, S. 1462, which instead promotes "clean energy."

"H.R. 5026 had been approved unanimously by the House on June 9, 2010, and previously by the House Energy and Commerce Committee 47-0. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's version of H.R. 5026 doesn't include physical threats to the grid such as electromagnetic pulse," Bartlett reported.

"It's a big IF, but IF the Senate approves EITHER an energy bill OR a cybersecurity bill that includes grid-security provisions, there could be a conference to reconcile differences between the Senate and the House version of H.R. 5026," he said.

The Senate's substitution for the House security provision is "to provide financial support for deploying clean-energy technologies."

It also requires the assembly of "a renewable-energy credit-trading program and an energy-efficiency credit-trading program, under which utilities will submit credits to comply. ..."

The House plan concerned itself with "emergency measure" to protect the reliability of the nation's grid.



WND reported previously when Bartlett warned such an attack virtually is inevitable.

At that time, he said, while cyber-attacks are a concern, a "really robust [nuclear] EMP lay-down means microelectronics across the country would be shut down [and] you have no power ... there's one event that we will not avoid, and that is a solar electromagnetic interference, solar storm. If we have a big one like the one that occurred back in 1859, that would shut down the whole grid for quite a long while. … It would cost about $100 million to protect much of the grid, but if the grid went down, it would cost us between $1 trillion and $2 trillion in damages, and the loss of life could be horrendous if in fact you were without electricity for months at a time."

William R. Graham, chairman of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack and the former national science adviser to President Reagan, had testified before the Congress and issued an alarming report on "one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences."

He identified vulnerabilities in the nation's critical infrastructures that "are essential to both our civilian and military capabilities."

Not taking the steps necessary to reduce the threat "can both invite and reward attack," Graham told the members of Congress at the time.

EMP is a pulse of energy that can be produced from nonnuclear sources, such as electromagnetic bombs. Some experts claim an electromagnetic-pulse shock wave can be produced by a device small enough to fit in a briefcase. But the most threatening and terrifying type of EMP attack could come following a blast from a nuclear weapon 25 to 250 miles above the Earth's surface. Like a swift stroke of lightning, EMP could immediately disrupt and damage all electronic systems and America's electrical infrastructure. A detonation over the middle of the continental U.S. "has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures that support the fabric of U.S. society and the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power," said Graham.

"Several potential adversaries have the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear-weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse, and others appear to be pursuing efforts to obtain that capability," said Graham. "A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication. For example, an adversary would not have to have long-range ballistic missiles to conduct an EMP attack against the United States. Such an attack could be launched from a freighter off the U.S. coast using a short- or medium-range missile to loft a nuclear warhead to high altitude. Terrorists sponsored by a rogue state could attempt to execute such an attack without revealing the identity of the perpetrators. Iran, the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism, has practiced launching a mobile ballistic missile from a vessel in the Caspian Sea. Iran has also tested high-altitude explosions of the Shahab-III, a test mode consistent with EMP attack, and described the tests as successful. Iranian military writings explicitly discuss a nuclear EMP attack that would gravely harm the United States. While the commission does not know the intention of Iran in conducting these activities, we are disturbed by the capability that emerges when we connect the dots."

An EMP assault could prove devastating because of the unprecedented cascading failures of major infrastructures that could result. Because of America's heavy reliance on electricity and electronics, the impact would be far worse than on a country less advanced technologically. Graham and the commission see the potential for failure in the financial system, the system of distribution for food and water, medical care and trade and production.
