Prepared- What if someone detonates a dirty bomb or a nuke?

This is a scary potential event that has been around since August 6, 1945 when the first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

Atomic bombs and nuclear bombs are two completely different things, but we kind of lump them together in our minds because of the amount of devastation and the appearance of the blast.

I grew up in the nuclear age at the tail end of the Cold War, and I remember all the realistic movies about nuclear holocaust and the fear that the Soviets were going to nuke America at any moment.

It’s not like that anymore.

It’s worse.

• Nine countries (that we know of) have nuclear weapons.
• The US admits that there are six nuclear bombs unaccounted for in our own arsenals.
• No one knows how many nukes and backpack nukes went missing over the past few decades from the Soviet Union now Russia.
• Backpack and suitcase nukes are a real thing.
• Dirty bombs are just as bad and can be created by terrorists and small nation-states.

I’m not saying all that just to scare you. What I want is to make you aware that a nuclear explosion or nuclear fallout are something that you actually do still need to…
