Where to GO and How to Get There

Suppose that there is a Terrorist attack using Chem /Bio or Nuclear materials? Hopefully you have your Protective or Escape Mask ready for yourself and family. Do you have a place where you can meet your family and friends preplanned in case of an attack? Is it away from built up areas that may be targets for attack? Do you have a route through back roads mapped out and someplace that has food, shelter and equipment that can sustain you and your family for some period of time. Maybe a prestocked cabin in a rural area that has emergency generator power, propane gas stove and lighting that doesnt depend on electricity. Also you may want to look at buying chemical toilets in case water supplies are damaged. Those wind up radios and flashlights come in handy also. Of course some weapons to include handguns, rifle, shotgun and ammunition in case of looters or criminals. Communications by landline and cellphone may be disrupted as well so HF/VHF portable radios to communicate with loved ones could also be useful set to prearranged frquencies. All these items must be stored and ready to go ahead of time because if electricity is down then most stores, banks and gas stations will become inoperable. Have cash in small bills on hand also. Any comments? Feel free to fill in things that I may have missed!
