Get your old Civil Defense plans out. I wonder how the snowflakes and those how think the military is not needed would feel. Actually, it will take more than patience to deter with this.

We are back to a mutually assured destruction (MAD) as was during the Cold War. Our missile submarines would turn their country into glass within minutes after a first strike. Not well informed enough to comment on our missile defense posture and I wouldn’t say if I did.

Actually not necessarily, there are different scenarios that Congress has worked out and in fact Congress has determined we can lose up to two major cities without the Insurance sector needing Federal assistance. Congress has worked out at what points in a targeted nuclear attack would various private sector segments be put at risk of no longer being able to function. So they have worked out the limited Nuclear attack scenario already as it would impact the Economy, Population, Defense, etc. Even though you hear various members of Congress run about saying any Nuclear war is not survivable, they know via analysis that is bullshit.

Congress works on this independent of FEMA which is a Executive Branch Department. FEMA is more reactive and is based on reaction to the blast itself as far as the human population. So FEMA's analysis is rather narrow and it is probably reviewed by the Congress. The Congressional analysis is more broad and involves survivability of the banking system, what can the private Insurance Industry sustain as far as claims payout before it needs Federal influx of money, what kind of a budget response would a nuclear attack require, is the military prepared, etc, etc. Anyways, I just wanted to point out, seen Congress looking at this stuff independent of FEMA on CSPAN a long time ago. While it is nice to have input from FEMA as well as good that FEMA prepares for this scenario, pretty sure Congress has already taken steps without FEMA's input.

Congress is looking at what laws need to be enacted pre and post incident. FEMA looks at incident preparation and incident recovery at more of a tactical level. FEMA handles passing out water, and Congress looks at getting infrastructure into recovery and fiscal issues that only Congress can fund.
