      Does anyone remember that RTÉ docudrama Fallout that ran at some stage in the 00’s – about a nuclear accident at Sellafield. It had mock-up RTÉ and BBC News bulletins warning of a nuclear apocalypse and it caused a big panic for people who thought it was real. It was both equally bizarre and amusing.

      I’m rambling but this reminded me of it for some reason.

      [**Fallout ‚a slur on Irish people’**](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30256206.html)

      >RTE’s documentary-style drama, screened this week, used BBC-style news reports and amateur video footage from mobile phones to portray panic on Dublin’s streets as terrified residents scrambled to get out of the city.

      >The national broadcaster later said it logged 30 calls from viewers who believed the disaster was actually happening.

      Oh an “adjacent vaping area” in case of national emergency, more great stuff coming from the public service. Let’s hope it’s printed in full colour and on glossy paper to keep the costs high too.

      Will it tell us how much toilet paper, eggs and sliced pan we should panic buy?

      Ok, it sounds like sensible advice.

      I do like the community centre advice. It’s a great reason to build more community centres. It’s an additional benefit to them.

      I know the government wants us to move away from solid fuels, but my advice is, if possible, get a wood burning stove.

      Could we send a booklet to the government telling them how to run the country properly.

      Kinda feel that in Ireland an emergency preparation booklet should cover things like how to live with your parents in your 30s because you cant afford a house, and how to occupy yourself when waiting 12+ hours in A&E.

      I have some expired iodine tablets from 2002 around here somewhere. Not sure why that comes to mind.

      Best preparation for a storm in Ireland is twofold.

      Buy a solar charger for the phone, install a wood burner stove.

      What’s that? Steal a JCB and use it to smash a Lidl to pieces?

      Okay then.

      All jokes aside – with all the supermarkets we have we can’t even keep them stocked. If we had a country wide emergency all food would be off the shelf in 12 hrs and hunger would be setting in within the week.

      That’s something that our government should be looking at we are very vulnerable on this island.

      No fuel,No electricity,No food just think about it Omg.

      In all seriousness… Not a bad idea to shed a few pounds, get some strength training in and introduce some Zone 2 cardio (ie slow enough that you can still chat / sing etc).

      Even not counting any extreme scenario… just knowing you can trust your body to make it home / get up a bunch of stairs / carry a heavy load is of huge value.

      I now live in the Netherlands and we were given similar advice a few months ago by the Dutch government. We are told to prepare for loss of power and comms for 72 hours (stock up on water, food, battery-operated FM radio etc). The biggest difference between the messaging we got from the Dutch government vs what I read in the article, is that the probable cause of such an emergency could be a large scale cyber attack and not a storm (of course the cause of the emergency is not so important because the outcome and actions needed are the same – prepare for the next 72 hours).

      Sounds like a waste of paper to me and something to make the government feel like they’ve done ‚a thing‘. Why not just put it on the government website and let people download if they actually want to read it?

    25. Key-Lie-364 on

      To iodine tablets or not ?

      Where we are located with at least 2-3 nukes marked for Ireland – stuff neutrality that’s reality – you’re better off hastening the inevitable.

      Cyanide tablets

      Anyone else surprised it didn’t just say « monitor the situation, sure it’ll be grand ».

    27. Kul_Chee on

      Probably comes with more out of date iodine tablets like the muppets did years ago

      Great now can they focus on the following: the defense forces needs like a decade of investment and hiring over the next year or two. The electricity grid and storage, water and wastewater systems, flood defences, secure communications and cyber infrastructure. Emergency services like ambulance capacity and response times, fire and rescue, Garda staffing and specialist units, and hospital surge capacity for major incidents.

      … all normal stuff a capable government does BEFORE it sends out a booklet.
