Medical Self-Help, 16-hour course, how to care for the sick and injured if a doctor or nurse is not available.

First Aid, courses of various lengths, how to help the sick and injured until professional medical assistance is obtained.

If the patient has headache or general discomfort, give him one or two aspirin tablets every three or four hours, half a tablet for a child under 12. if he is nauseous give him motion sickness tablets if available if his mouth is sore or his gums are bleeding have him use a mouthwash made up of a half teaspoonful of salt to one quart of water if there is vomiting or diarrhoea he should drink slowly several glasses each day of a salt and soda solution one teaspoonful of salt and one half teaspoonful of baking soda to one quart of cool water plus bouillon or fruit juices if available a mixture of kaolin and pectin should be given for diarrhea whatever his symptoms the patient should be kept lying down comfortably warm and resting remember that radiation sickness is not contagious or infectious and one person cannot catch it from another person end of section six section seven of in time of emergency a citizen's handbook on nuclear attack natural disasters by united states office of civil defense this librivox recording is in the public domain part two major natural disasters Many of the actions recommended in Part 1 of this handbook to help you prepare for and live through a nuclear attack, such as learning the warning signals, stocking emergency supplies, taking a course in emergency skills, and knowing how to fight fires at home, also would help you in case a major natural disaster occurs in your area.

If you are prepared for nuclear attack, you are also prepared to cope with most peacetime disasters.

disasters that kill hundreds of americans every year injure thousands inflict widespread suffering and hardship and cause great economic loss part two of this handbook is intended to help you prepare for those natural disasters that may occur in your area and tell you the right actions to take if they occur chapter i gives general guidance applicable to various types of natural disasters succeeding chapters give special advice on floods hurricanes tornadoes winter storms and earthquakes chapter one general guidance there are certain things you can learn and do that will help you get ready for and cope with almost any type of natural disaster perhaps the most basic thing you can do is to keep calm this may mean the difference between life and death in many disasters people have been killed or injured needlessly because they took thoughtless actions when they should have done something else or done nothing at all just then in a time of emergency taking proper action may save your life take time to think and then take the considered action that the situation calls for usually this will be the action you have planned in advance or the action you are instructed to take by responsible authorities here is other guidance that applies to most types of natural disasters Warning.

Learn your community's warning signals.

The result is that the invisible mixture entering lungs on a still, bitter night can be chemically distinct from what fills the same streets on a breezy, mild afternoon.

Winter storms can build electrical charges stronger than many summer thunderstorms.

In certain intense systems, especially those that produce heavy snow, the turbulence and collisions inside clouds create ideal conditions for separating electrical charge.

Ice crystals, sleet particles, and soft hail called grapple, bump, and rub against each other in powerful updrafts, transferring charge in the process.

Researchers track them with drones and satellite imagery to uncover the processes behind them.

For people encountering them from shore or the air, the circles look almost intentional, as if drawn by a hidden hand beneath the ice.

Winter storms can move heat between continents.

Large-scale weather systems that form in cold seasons can tap into warm ocean currents, redistribute that energy, and send it across vast distances.

Anyways, I'm sorry.

So Winter Storm traps Katie at the mansion, right? She's stuck.

And she starts noticing like little things.

There's a line that's cut.

Notes from the Journal of a Military Surgeon.

It also often includes using these moments of crisis as a way to engage and do some type of political education.

So like with the winter storm in Texas, for example, You saw many people using that time to be able to talk about the inequalities of our grid system.

Why are big box stores still, you know, why are their lights still on and communities that have a high proportion of elders are without power for days, those kinds of things, to kind of point toward away from the so-called natural disaster and more toward the man-made aspects of things.

The political education or the teaching piece is a really important part of mutual aid.

It gives us an opportunity to really think about someone as our neighbor and not just someone in need or a charity case.

And it also gives us an opportunity to really sit with how precarious of a position any of us could be in at any given moment.

So Winter Storm was such a great example of that.

Also in that chapter, I talk about the protests of 2024, which is a different kind of instability, but instability no less, right? So mutual aid asks us, what will we do when the rug under our feet is pulled away? Who are we waiting on or are we stepping up? Who can we who can we support and who can support us? And so that sort of mutual the mutuality piece is distinct from I am supposed to have a good heart and I'm supposed to do these things to people to, you know, in the sense of how charity often works.

Winter weather phenomena.

Blizzards are powerful winter storms with high winds.

Not all snowstorms are blizzards.

For a storm to qualify as a blizzard, it must have sustained winds of at least 35 miles per hour, along with heavy snow or blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than a quarter mile.

Lake effect snow is a unique phenomenon, a collaboration between water, air, temperature, and geography that creates some of winter's heaviest snowfalls.

Nor'easters bring heavy snow to coastal regions.

Along the eastern coast of North America, particularly from the Mid-Atlantic to New England, winter storms called nor'easters bring heavy snow, high winds, and coastal flooding.

These storms form when cold air from Canada meets warm air over the Atlantic Ocean.
