Thread: After the disaster how will you act?

I guess it's obvious what I voted for.



We are talking major apocalypse right?

I guess I'll just sit here and talk to myself................

Finished reading "One Second After" last week...it discusses the actions of people, and the breakdown of society after an EMP attack on the USA.



Just started this...







In the book, Alas Babylon, the main character Randy, after a nuclear detonation, and upon encountering a car crash in which a woman is lying on the road...thinks:



"In this second Randy made an important decision. Yesterday, he would have stopped instantly. There would have been no question about it. When there was an accident, and someone was hurt, a man stopped. But yesterday was a past period in history, with laws and rules archaic as ancient Rome's. Today the rules had changed, just as Roman law gave way to atavistic barbarism as the empire fell to Hun and Goth. Today a man saved himself and his family and to hell with everyone else."





How do you think you would react if a disaster happened to you?

We are a looong way from an EMP with that kind of capability. If they do exsist their effective radius would only be a few hundred feet at best.



Lets after a EMP attack I would take the 5 minute drive to my buddies house and use his stuff.

After an EMP, you would not be driving unless you had a very old car!
