When I walked into my office this morning the TV was on and tuned to CNN. The first two stories I saw were about potential threats to two different nuclear power plants in the U.S.
One of the threats was due to the wildfires in New Mexico that were getting close to the Los Alamos Nuclear Lab forcing the lab to close.
The other threat was to the Nuclear Power plant in Nebraska that is being threatened by flooding.
Officials are keeping a close eye on both situations. If you live near either of these locations you should stay informed by visiting your local emergency management site, watching the news or listening to the radio.
*If it is recommended that you evacuate the area…do so as soon as possible
*Coordinate some meeting places with your family now in case you aren’t together
*Don’t panic and/or react to misinformation
*While there is NO imminent risk now…you may want to consider getting potassium iodide.
Always remember the key components to better preparedness: Get a Kit (supplies), Make a Plan, Be Informed.
