Dear Mr. Coombs,
Without digressing into minute detail, I believe I can offer you
some rational, practical suggestions.....for employment in a home situation.
Our resident biological pathogen expert offers several simple,
but helpful suggestions.
First, keep a supply of about 2 to 3 gallons (per person) of
uncontaminated water stored on-hand. If it is not in a sealed or controlled
atmosphere......cycle it out through domestic consumption every 4 months
(minimum). Arrange to drape double-thickness cheese-cloth or open-pore
muslin over the inside of all exiting (outside opening) doors. Maintain a
supply of at least 4 central-air intake filters. If one is very anxious
over the possibility of bio-terrorism, especially of the air-borne vectors,
just roll the cheese cloth drapes up on a dowel-rod over the doorway and
secure them with a tie-string -----they can be instantly dropped. The
better way to construct these is to use two vertical pieces, wide enough to
provide about a 6" overlap....thus allowing the minimum intrusion of outside
air, when passing though.
It is a good idea to spray the entire surface of each
cheese-cloth/muslin-type screen with 10 to 15ppm CS and allow to dry before
rolling up. If a known pathogen
dispensed into the local atmosphere, it would be prudent to dampen the
cheese-cloth filters immediately-----this greatly enhances the
particle-entrapment capablities. Immediately change the CS impregnated
central-air filters in your system-----even if they have only been installed
for a few days.
Additionally, unless your dwelling is a "very tight" structure,
it would be prudent to breathe through a "home-made" veil made from a
handerchief saturated with CS-----at least for the initial period of
suspected fallout.
The most desireable circumstance relating to water, is to have
your individual sub-surface well.
Because of the positive pressure effects of a central-air
system, one would be best served to stay indoors as long as possible after
an atmospherically-based insult.
All of these simple suggestions reflect a common-sense
approach. Beyond reasonable preparations for the practical-minded,
paranoia-induced mental challenges may cause more damage than the potential
pathogenic agent-----not the least of which might be the destruction of your
life-structure.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
