LTRP Note:<\/strong> Hopefully, Americans and Canadians on the West Coast will not see a nuclear\u00a0fallout from the current crisis in Japan. But it is always wise for families to use some common-sense preparedness for emergencies in this nuclear, technology-dependent age in which we find ourselves. We found the article below to be a balanced well-thought-out article on the subject of preparedness in the event of radiation exposure.<\/p>\n

**And please remember to pray for the Japanese people at this time; pray that God will strengthen believers there that they might be able to minister the love of the Lord and the truth of\u00a0the Word of God during this terrible crisis in that country.<\/p>\n

How to Prepare for Radioactive Fallout<\/strong>
\nConservative Daily News<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember: time, distance, and mass. In the case of the reactors in Japan those of us in North America have the advantages of time and distance on our side.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

When it comes to protecting yourself from a potentially radioactive fallout situation from the Japanese reactors that have gone awry you have three things going in your favor \u2013 time, distance, and mass.<\/p>\n

Make that four things, the last being Potassium Iodide (KI). If you have to prioritize your preparations to survive a fallout situation in the next few days, put this item first on your list. You will have to act fast if you want to get some Potassium Iodide.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

I saw a report a few minutes ago (Monday, March 14, 2011) on a local TV news broadcast that supplies of Potassium Iodide were running out. If you want to get some then stop thinking like the herd. Most people are going to swarm their local pharmacies and emergency preparedness stores. At this point in time it is unlikely you are going to find any Potassium Iodide left on their shelves. But all is not lost. The herd is looking for Potassium Iodide pills. But I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret. You can get the same substance from chemical supply warehouses. The only difference is that it will not be in pill form. Instead, you can purchase Potassium Iodide in its crystallized form \u2013 Potassium Iodide is just a salt. It will look like a white powder. All you have to do when you acquire some is to dissolve it in water and drink it. You will get the same protection as those people who overpaid for the convenience of obtaining Potassium Iodide in pill form.
