If there was a nuclear war in the Middle-East in about three years time, what are the most appropriate precautions for UK citizens to take between now and then?
Assumptions: Iran uses 4 small-medium nuclear weapons, Israel uses 20-40, the wind blows fallout across Europe. I'm also assuming our government will try to avoid unnecessary worry by not telling us anything until it's too late to prepare.
If running: What transport method, route, and destination to evacuate to?
If staying: Will there still be working transport, hospitals, jobs, shops, offices, banking, truthful-ish news, and an economy?
What food to store, and how to source drinking water if I don't currently have a well?
How long would outdoors be unsafe if at all?
How long before we could eat European crops and animals again?
How much electricity will be generated compared to normal times?
Is fuel storage wise, if so how much?
What medicines should we buy, and when?
Will I need weapons, if so which ones?
Your advice would be appreciated, even if you're not an expert in these matters. This is The Lounge after all.

ZOLLAR said: Search for the "zombie invasion" thread, copy and paste and there's your advice Yes but as usual: "The search facility is currently under maintenance. PH would like to apologise for any inconvenience this causes." Oh well I've got three years to do a manual search, and I don't suppose it's exactly the same as zombie attack. I mean it's probably safe to shag someone affected with radioactivity isn't it?

JPJPJP said: head south of the equator That didn't work in 'On the beach', but in that book/film the middle-east war escalated to full-scale toe-to-toe between the USA & Ruskies and the last human survivors in Australia all die the following year. That could never happen now. It's not as if Russia supplies Iran with weapons and the USA supplies Israel. Oh whatever.
