| Description/Abstract | The feasibility of continued survival after a hypothetical nuclear attack is evaluated for people relocated from high-risk areas during the crisis period before the attack. The attack consists of 6559 MT, of which 5951 MT are ground bursts on military, industrial, and urban targets. Relocated people are assumed to be adequately protected from fallout radiation by shelters of various kinds. The major problems in the postattack situation will be the control of exposure to fallout radiation, and prevention of severe food shortages to several tens of millions of people. |

| Description/Abstract | A method is described for enabling Emergency Operating Centers (EOCs) to estimate nuclear fallout casualties (fatalities and injuries) during and after nuclear attack without the aid of computers. This method is compatible with the current manual method for estimating initial weapons effects. The new technique requires that the EOCs have information on nuclear detonations and upper wind conditions and that they have maps, a protractor, map overlay material, grease pencils, worksheets, and pencils. In addition, they will need two tables of data and a fallout casualty (FC) template, all supplied in this report. Five steps are involved in the estimation of fallout casualties for an area: sketching fallout wind streamlines on a map overlay; plotting locations of nuclear detonations and their fallout streamlines; measuring crosswind and upwind distances to detonation points from the point of interest; reading radiation exposure tables and summing the contributions from different weapons to obtain the exposure at that point; and using the FC template with the protection factor profile for the area to estimate fatalities and injuries. The tables of radiation exposure are based on a modified Weapons Systems Evaluation Group-10 (WSEG-10) fallout model. The table of county protection factor profiles (PFPs) assumes a Community Shelter Plan (CSP) posture. |

A few friends have reported seeing a Malware warning pop up when visiting the SurvivalRing homepage. I have a screen capture of the specific malware warning in question, but have NOT been able to find the offending code pointing to a *.in address.
And, neither has Google. Check out this link, a Google tool that shows regular malware checking visits DIRECTLY by Google scanning systems.
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.survivalring.org
I will keep researching, and checking source code for the foreseeable future, until I can track down this intermittent issue. If you DO happen to see a warning, please make note of any specifics that might help me find the problem and make it go away.
Thanks, Rich

Hi again, my friends…
I’ve been busy on SurvivalRing this week, and have added new download areas to the website, as well as started posting some great classic government produced civil defense documents right here on the SurvivalRing Blog.
Here’s a summary of the updated download areas…
All Hazard library – A vast collection of PDF and other documents covering all areas of natural and manmade disaster preparedness, as well as some public domain book and texts from the early 20th century.
Total Files Available: 436
Total Bytes: 1.89 GB
Go there…. ==> All Hazard Library
The Bunker library – Another huge set of PDF and other documents covering radiation measuring devices, nuclear testing years, radiation protection, expedient shelters, fallout, and many other similar topics.
Total Files Available: 229
Total Bytes: 1.19 GB
Go there…. ==> The Bunker Library
Field Manual library – Over 5 dozen PDF documents covering first aid, sanitation, engineering, hygiene, survival, decontamination, orienteering, and other training areas.
Total Files Available: 64

Other updates to the SurvivalRing website include an update and expansion of our new Help Desk software, added to provide personal and quick help and assistance for information, questions, suggestions, or other needs. You can always find the link right below our Contact Me link in the menu above.
As for other updates, I’ll be adding new downloads to the SurvivalRing Blog at least 5 days a week, to keep providing updated and educational info to you and our other visitors. I’ve got hundreds of new PDF documents to share with everyone, so stay tuned for these additions as they happen.
Many other updates to SurvivalRing have been added to the back end of the website…the part that runs all these great features and interactive areas. New security tools are helping cut down on and report hacking attempts in real time. Caching tools are helping serve web pages faster than ever. New built in functions to our core site tools for charting things, adding reviews of new and interesting products and services, mapping news and visitors, and some exciting site-oriented social networking tools. We also will be expanding our Twitter and Facebook usage and interaction, so you can stay updated on news, alerts, downloads, and more…where ever you are. As I’ve mentioned previously, I can also provide real time updates to this website and my others, via my mobile devices, directly to the site homepage, from ANYWHERE.
These are just the current SurvivalRing updates. More content, articles, and audio and video are on the way as well, with a brand new area that will serve all our media needs now and in the future. And yes, I’ll be producing these new creations myself. Those college degrees are getting a workout just for you.
Finally, I’m still working on the next issue of our SurvivalRing Ezine newsletter. Watch for it in about a week or so.
Until next time, remember…you can comment on any post or page on the site, contact me directly via the contact form or help desk, and can ask for any new feature, topic, downloads, or other site features to be created or updated.
