EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION

If you're not already part of our preparedness network and you live in the Northeast, please email me if you're interested in joining.



A war against Iraq could trigger major acts of nuclear, biological and/or chemical (NBC) terrorism on U.S. soil. Such use of weapons of mass destruction in this nation may seriously impact much of the Northeast. People from Washington DC to Boston need to now take active measures to prepare for potentially significant dislocations caused by the effects of biological, radiological and/or chemical weapons use in our vicinity. Some simple preparatory measures and basic planning at this stage will go a long way in mitigating the potential harm NBC terrorism would have on family and friends should the coming war against Iraq precipitate what the government clearly is concerned about. Furthermore, taking precautions now will likely reduce the recovery time in the wake of any major crisis that could erupt. And even if no such NBC terrorism occurs here when war comes, there is little to be lost in terms of time and money by forging plans and setting aside important supplies at this stage....whereas doing nothing before an NBC crisis occurs could prove fatal or lead to severe, unnecessary suffering. Thus, now is the time to get ready, not tomorrow or the next day, NOW...



"At this stage it is possible to turn to biological attack, where a small can,
not bigger than the size of the hand,
can be used to release viruses that affect everything....
The viruses easily spread by air,
and people are affected without feeling it."

Uday Hussein (Saddam's son), 9/20/01

(NOTE: The first Anthrax-laced letters were mailed on 9/18/01. That means Saddam's son stated this when the mailings were being delivered and before any news had come out about the Anthrax mailings in the U.S.)

(Noted in the Wall Street Journal, "Saddam and the Next 9/11", 2/14/03)
