Nuclear Survival in
Colorado

This is the nuclear target map for Colorado, but remember, fallout can go anywhere or everywhere (and probably will). After you have looked at this map look at the Information for Colorado that follows it.

DENSE PACK - Look at all those target sites. So close Together! It serves a purpose. It is missiles protecting missles, and this is how it is done. These are "hardened" sites. Meaning it takes a direct ground explosion to dig them out. An air burst will not do it. When you have a ground explosion it throws many tons of dust and sand up into the air. High into the air. This is what will later become fallout carried by the winds hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles away. But right over that site that has just been hit the sand and grit in the air is very thick for quite a while. Another high speed missile (ICBM) trying to come through it will have its skin torn off just like by sand blasting and it will be destroyed. So the other missile sites nearby are safe. On the other hand, because missiles take off much slower than the speeds they eventually reach, the missiles in the undamaged silos can still be launched and will pass through the dust cloud without be harmed. Neat, eh? See there is a purpose in putting so many in one place. Now the only way that you can dig them out is with what is called a slow walk. Hit a target. Move on further and hit another target where the dust from the first won't hurt you. Come back thirty or forty-five minutes later and hit a second target near where you hit the first, after the cloud has had time to blow away. A slow process. Some silos will already have launched and you will waste the shot. Others can still wait to launch later because you can only get one at a time. This could go on for days. Neat. The military missiles protecting missiles. But they don't protect you, because if you are downwind you will get the fallout. Fatal if you are not in a shelter. They call it Defense but it is only Destruction. Nothing here defends or protects you, if they are used.

Nuclear Weapon Target Map for Colorado (FEMA-196/September 1990)Colorado targets

UPDATE to Target Information!!!

Information for Colorado

This link will take you back to the Index of all the States

It is recommended that you go through the following 10 steps in studying about the nuclear threat to Colorado.

1. Look at the State Map above to see the target nuclear areas in Colorado.

2. Look at the general expected fallout map to see where Colorado
(according to the prevailing wind pattern)
gets fallout from other states.

3. If the state that you live in is anywhere EAST of any of the following 6 states in the prevailing wind pattern then look at the states in RED on the INDEX of STATES for

  • Montana
  • North Dakota
  • South Dakota
  • Nebraska
  • Missouri
  • Colorado

  • These six states contain what is called DENSE PACK which I explain on each of those states pages. UNDERSTAND that the wind pattern COULD at that time be something other than the "prevailing" wind pattern.

    4. Bookmark the present URL or make a copy of this present address so that you can come back to it after going to

    Blast Mapper.

    This mapper is on someone else's web site so that you will need to save this address in order to return here if your back button doesn't work. However, you want to be sure to go the mapper site and calculate the damage to probable targets (cities) around you.

    5. Memorize the THREE top rules for survival. They are:

  • Number One - Get out of the cities!

  • Number Two - Get out of the cities!

  • Number Three - Get out of the cities!

  • 6. The follow-on rules are:
  • a. Have a shelter
  • b. Work with a group (you are going to need the manpower, brainpower, and skillpower).
  • c. Stock supplies.

    7. My Survival Web Page contains links to lots of other information such as free books to download about nuclear survival, links to plans for building shelters, and even free consultation about building a shelter.

    8. If you are SUPER concerned about nuclear survival you might consider joining the

    Ark Two Community.

    9. If you like, you can look at our Honor List for groups that we know of that have an existing rural location. Most of these, however, have no direct interest or preparation in regards to nuclear survival. At the bottom of this page is a Directory of our contacts in Colorado. Many of the local entries for states were listed because of their Y2K concerns and may not have any nuclear concerns.

    10. And finally, if you wish to be on the mailing list for my irregular newsletter in which I analyze current events in regards to the nuclear threat, you can sign-up here:

    107. Boulder County Y2K Community Preparedness Group

    Boulder, Colorado
    Here's an idea/sensation that appeared to us on Yom Kippur. Contributing to this idea is our growing sense that:

    ~~community folk are taking the lead on Y2K preparedness. Groups and efforts are springing up at an exponential rate.

    ~~No one is waiting for leadership from traditional sources, but everyone simultaneously recognizes that we need leadership to step forward.

    ~~ the people who try to work on behalf of these communities, such as foundations, public interest groups, local, state and federal officials, have no idea what's going on at the community level.

    ~~we're all frustrated by the lack of official leadership here, at every level.

    ~~ Y2K still needs much greater visibility/education/awareness etc.

    ~~ the model of web petitioning demonstrated in Ben Levi's recent web-based petition to govt leaders to get on with serving the public interest

    So. . .

    What if we quickly developed a "We the people" campaign, where we circulate a web petition, maybe a hard copy petition, maybe a full page ad in the NYTimes. This petition would be a plea from all of us who are already working on Y2K community/social preparedness, asking our "leaders" to join us. We would give them a sense of the multiplicity of efforts going on, the growing numbers of citizens involved, and ask them to please work with us. We would list at least part of the numerous community-based websites on-line now.

    We would be soliciting leaders in the spirit of Churchill's famous quote along the lines of "There go my people. I must follow them. I'm their leader."

    Y2K is a social problem, and we the people are on the case.

    Springs/Pikes Peak area

    Interested in joining a survivalist community in the Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak area. Non military, no guns and weapons. Spiritual based, organic farms, alternative energy, Earth Changes shelters.

    We are seeking only the preservation of life in our family and those with a strong sense of peaceful cooperation. In our search we are finding that control, fear, and animosity are the driving force of many, which will in turn only put us in a situation reasonably the same as which we seek to remove ourselves. The basics of our goals are to find land in a safe area of the Colorado Mountains , build safe homes such as dome homes, establish greenhouses, Natural energy, water sources and supplies, establish an underground or well protected Library of important knowlege for future development of our skills mentally and physically, food and supply storage, with the prospect of peace and safety being our main focus.
