Canto Talk, Aug. 17: How do I survive nuclear bombs and national chaos?

Dear Friends:  It will be my pleasure to be the guest on Canto Talk this Thursday, Aug. 17.  Please click HERE to listen live from 10 am Pacific Time/12 noon Central Time/1 pm Eastern Time or after for the archived podcast.

Part of the show will revolve around emergency response, which is a subject I deal with in my professional life.  In this instance, the response involves what to do to survive after a nuclear bomb is detonated:

Today, I got a call from a client wanting to update their Business Contingency Plan to address fallout from a nuclear attack. This is not entirely surprising, given the escalation of North Korea’s threats against Guam and the United States.

The Millennials have long enjoyed a “peace dividend”, courtesy of President Ronald Reagan’s peace-through-strength policies, that have now been entirely spent. Perhaps realizing this, internet searches on surviving a nuclear attack have exploded in the last 48 hours.

Baby boomers, such as myself, are trying to remember our duck-and-cover lessons.

To seriously address my client’s query, I did some research and located some guides from the Ventura County Health Department that were both informative and potentially useful.

Plus, Silvio Canto, Jr., and I will discuss the hottest topics in the news…though what those will be on Thursday is pretty much anyone’s guess at this point.
