Emergency Plan - What would you do??

[Tonks]

This is going to be as OT as anything can be... unless you consider 
a possible invasion by Death Eaters...

I know that the government has told home-builder that they should 
put a 'safe room' in the basement of every new home they build. I 
expect that this has not been well publicized so as not to alarm the 
public. As I understand it is is for a "high wind event".  But it 
sounds like a fall-out shelter to me. Here is what I want to know 
from some of your really smart folks out there. Or maybe a boy or 
girl scout or two. Or a shaman if any are here. Maybe a scientist? 

I was thinking about what one would keep in such a place if I was 
ever able to have one. I live on the second floor of an apartment 
building so I hope the bombs don't start falling any too soon. But 
if I ever was able to afford to build a house.. maybe I have too 
much time on my hands here.. just musing tonight.. I know that the 
Mormons keep a years supply of food and water on hand as part of 
their way of living. That sounds like a smart idea.. but I probably 
will never do that.. but maybe 3 months would be rational. I do that 
anyway in the fall since you never know when we might be snowed in 
and I don't like to have to carry a lot of cans in the snow and ice.

But this is what I am wondering... I think those rooms have some 
sort of air filtration system. I only know one person who has one, 
but I have never seen it. He loves to tell people about it, it is up 
off the basement floor in case of flooding and it has a vault like 
door he says. What I wonder is how would you keep enough air in 
there for say 60 days or longer. If you did not have a filtration 
system or if did not work. Is this a biosphere or something that I 
am thinking about? I don't understand these things. But if you had 
enough food and water, how in a small space of say 14x14 with 2 to 4 
people would you be able to supply enough oxygen for everyone???  
What do you think folks?? What steps would you take to maintain life 
if we were attacked and the government were not able to care for us 
and we had to fend for ourselves.. what should we do??
