Today, kids…. Today is a good day. At
7:00 this morning, the Emergency Broadcast System went back on-line. Thanks to
our battery-powered radios, we were able to pick up the signal. It is a
recording, it is not a live DJ or anything, and it is playing on a loop,
providing all sorts of tips. Here is just a real basic run down of what we
know.
It is being called the Kharon
Epidemic.
Travel is not advised. (Big surprise
there.)
Local authorities are being
re-established.
They are advising survivors to stay where
they as long as their supplies can hold out.
If you engage what they are calling
“hostile reanimations,” targeting the brain is the only known way to put them
down.
They also said that safe zones are
being maintained and FOBs (forward operating bases) are being established to
search for survivors. So now we just have to wait to hear where these FOBs are
located. With the buses and the bug out plan, if one is close, we could try to
get to them. We still have plenty of food and supplies. We can still wait it
out and the Year One plan is still viable. No one is in any big rush to get out
there in the thick of it.
Also, it is important to note that
earlier this morning, we saw more military aircraft flying over in the
distance. These were more like scrambling fighter jets and they were hauling
balls. We need to develop some way to signal them. Obviously, gaining the
attention of fighter jets doing Mach 2 over the American Midwest is going to be
pretty darn difficult. But what if it was a low flying helicopter? We need to
come up with something more than just some waving white sheets and American
flags hung upside down from our roof.
I just have no idea what.
