THINGS TO DO AT HOME IN THE IMMINENT THREAT OF WAR OR NUCLEAR ATTACK - Kenneth Moravec

Living and ancient prophets have warned us repeatedly that destructive events will occur in our day. By preparing ourselves both temporally and spiritually, we will be ready to respond to these emergencies or disasters.

Anyone who knows Kenneth Moravec recognizes his name as an authority on Nuclear attacks and how to protect yourself. This is his list, I received from a handout at a class I attended where he taught.
