 A Low Threat Level occurs when things are happening far away,in the other side of the country, or overseas, that if allowed to run its course, COULD developing into long term problems (weather systems, economic downturns, terrorism, or some kind of attack). When this occurs, common sense tells you that you should pay a little bit more attention to the news, while making sure you have basic necessities such as emergency savings, 72 hour kits, a safe room in your home, and a plan for evacuation (who goes, where they go, when they leave, and when they arrive). Basically, this is called HAVING A PLAN. Use this CD Rom to understand the wide variety of possible threats and know the basics of response. Pay particular attention to the NBC PREPS files, the basics of shelter information, and the hazard maps available in the Civil Defense NOW pdf file. 
There are going to be times when things are looking scary, whether it is an approaching tornado, hurricane winds coming your way, or localized threats from civil disturbance, and you develop a higher state of personal alertness. Constant contact with news communications ( radio, TV, cable, etc. ) through either home, car, or pocket radio will help you gauge your response to preparing for things that MAY happen. Understanding of shelter systems, family training, practical response for medical needs, and an already gathered, assembled, and tested emergency kit will give you a sense of confidence in knowing what to do when events occur. Having a place chosen to evacuate to, a shelter design planned and ready to go ( tools, equipment, supplies, and so forth ) will make things easier. Studying the full spectrum of fallout shelter information presented here will give you an edge on the world in knowing just how far you can get in getting ready for ANYTHING. This time would be even better for you to actually PRACTICE if you have not already, and gather extra tools, supplies, and equipment ( chain saw, plywood, a police scanner, shortwave radio, filtering for shelter, extra storable food, etc. ) IF YOU HAVE NOT YET. Yes, if things DO get bad, they can get really bad, really fast. What may be in the next county or state can come to your neighborhood fairly quickly, much faster than most would anticipate...unless you are WATCHING and LISTENING. Training BEFORE any event would be an asset, and the FEMA manuals on the CD and the CERT training materials found here are a great start in being ready.  OK....so it happens. An F-5 tornado is coming your direction...or the next Hurricane Andrew has hit the coast and is coming toward you...or the L.A. Riots are being reenacted in your front yard...or Al Queda has just crashed a corporate jet into the nearby nuclear plant. What do you do? Panic? Pray? Or do EXACTLY what you need to do to have a positive outcome in the long term? Knowing just WHAT to do for SPECIFIC events is the trick. How do you know? By Studying EVERYTHING here. Actual time is going to have to be spent reading, reading, and MORE reading. Using material here to find MORE study and research material elsewhere is going to help even more. The 20,000 pages of data and training information you have now covers enormous amounts of mitigation, response, and recovery areas. But it is not everything, nor does it intend to be. It will get you in the right frame of mind, and seed your thoughts with more areas to look into...if you are serious about LONG TERM SURVIVAL. So, here is a question...suppose the WORST happens. An all-out nuclear attack ensues. Warheads are on their way. Nukes are being detonated and people are dying. What Do You Do? Well, FEMA spent a few decades and massive funds studying this, and created PREPAREDNESS PLANNING FOR A NUCLEAR CRISIS (HS-4). This manual is here in its entirety on cd. You can decide EXACTLY what to do and where to go and how to live, with info included in this manual. But, it takes action. Your action. Nobody can do it for you... and YOU have to KNOW you can do it, once you know where to start. Act now. Preparing for the WORST...prepares you for anything less. Do It Now.
