Tonks:
Actually I live in an appartment and I keep a 3 month supply on hand in 
my pantry. I don't have the water, but do have water bottles that I can 
fill quickly. I use to keep the water, but it expired and I didn't get 
more. And I do have the new shower curtain for plastic and duck tape. 
We have had 3 days without electricy here and I learned the 
importantance of having a gas water heater. At least you can take a hot 
shower. 

No one answered my real question. I was never a girl scout, but I do 
feel the need to be prepared as I get older and it is not as easy for 
me to get out and about. 

SO... I really do want to know how to have a safe room and AIR at the 
same time. Should I have plants? Is is called a biosphear? If not what 
is a biosphear? 

I see that FEMA suggest different things for different areas of the 
country. But I am not going to depend on the government when the 
government might be gone in a real war. So.. back to my question.. how 
can a person, or a person and 3 friends live underground for 6 months 
and have AIR. Thanks.
