I very much agree with Brooke Buddemeier; for many people, a nuclear attack can be survivable. Especially with warning - warnings provided by local emergency managers, integrated with warnings from the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).

That initial public response to a nuclear event is much more akin to tornado warnings than the public response to earthquakes.

I also agree that more specific local and state planning to nuclear events is prudent for certain nuclear target areas, such as the SEATAC area. While a baseline of emergency preparedness based on an all-hazards approach is complementary, there are specific and unique nuclear/radiological considerations.

I agree with Washington state senator Mark Miloscia; the state of Washington's existing prohibition for specific nuclear preparedness measures is too fatalistic; and, in my opinion, irresponsible.

Shelters are a thing of the past. I guess you could "duck and cover" but that was a feel good measure. Maybe the tornado belt states have a place to hid still.
