[ATS] Last month a bulletin was issued by the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, regarding preparing California for a nuclear attack from N. Korea. I know Kim would be insane to start a war with the U.S. and unfortunately we all know he is insane.<\/p>\n

Things have ramped up since this was issued, and I\u2019m concerned that our President is pushing Kims buttons. Kim has painted himself in a corner on this, and saving face could cause him to do something radically stupid.<\/p>\n

It contains some advice that I think everyone might want to know. Readers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with nuclear response emergency procedures. How to lessen the exposure to nuclear radiation, and what to expect from the Govt.<\/p>\n

According to <\/strong>foreignpolicy.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n

With U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un trading insults and threatening war, California officials are taking the threat of nuclear exchange seriously.<\/p>\n

Noting the heightened North Korean threat, the Los Angeles-area Joint Regional Intelligence Center issued a bulletin last month warning that a nuclear attack on Southern California would be \u201ccatastrophic\u201d and urged officials in the region to shore up their nuclear attack response plans.<\/p>\n

The report cites North Korea\u2019s late July test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that could, in theory, reach the West Coast of the United States. \u201cNorth Korea\u2019s propaganda videos feature ruins of San Francisco and Washington,\u201d the document says.\u201cNorth Korea\u2019s propaganda videos feature ruins of San Francisco and Washington,\u201d the document says.<\/p>\n

The 16-page \u201cNuclear Attack Response Considerations\u201d bulletin is dated Aug. 16 and marked for \u201cofficial use only.\u201d It was circulated last month to Los Angeles-area local, state, and federal agency personnel and also throughout the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies across the country.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the unclassified report was to share planning and guidance with as wide a distribution as possible, according to two officials involved in responding to a nuclear strike and who received the bulletin. Many agencies are involved in responding to an attack and are often staffed with personnel without access to classified information.<\/p>\n

DHS did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Much of the information in the report is based on well-known facts about the effects of a nuclear blast, including the effects of radiation, the possibly of an electromagnetic pulse disabling communications, and the destructive effects of the initial blast on human life and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Citing figures from the Rand Corp., the report says a nuclear blast at the Long Beach Port could cause more than $1 trillion in damage, including loss of life and destruction of homes and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

In a section on \u201cradiation protection basics,\u201d the report offers a primer on what to do during a nuclear attack. \u201cLie face down and place hands under the body to protect exposed skin,\u201d it recommends. \u201cRemain flat until the heat and shock waves have passed.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are also sections explaining the basic mechanisms of a nuclear blast as it occurs and discussion of specific things expected to happen in the event of a nuclear attack that should be considered and prepared for in advance.<\/p>\n

It also warns of the difficulties government authorities would likely encounter in dealing with the aftermath of a blast. The public will need to evacuate, the report says, but with \u201climited understanding of radiation risks, they will experience high anxiety and may be non-compliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Challenges with contamination spread by pets and through clothing are among the many public health and logistical coordination issues spelled out for potential emergency responders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequences of a nuclear attack in Southern California would be catastrophic,\u201d the report says. \u201cNonetheless, government entities and first responders are expected to remain operational to preserve human life, maintain order, and aid in the recovery process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report, which is largely directed at local, state, and federal agencies and first responders located in the Los Angeles region, notes that the federal government will likely be of limited help immediately after a nuclear blast.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]here will be no significant federal assistance at the scene for 24-72 hours following the attack,\u201d the bulletin says.<\/p>\n
