Swiss army warnings.

Fill your bathtub full of water and cover it with a plastic, this will give you 700 liters of good water.

André Blattmann, the head of the Swiss army, has already repeatedly made warnings about hazards that affect the safety of Switzerland.

The swiss army chief also said that society had become more vulnerable and is not really prepared to new risks such as cyber attacks or power outages.

Therefore, he himself had drawn conclusions:

At home he keeps in stock

’30 or 40 six-packs of mineral water without carbonic acid’.

This corresponds to about 300 liters of mineral.

In addition, the army chief has a water cistern in his home.

Water is the most important thing in an emergency, he says:

‘For daily needs, each at least needs eight liters of water.
For drinking, cooking, personal hygiene’.

Fill your bath full of water and cover it with a plastic, this will give you 700 liters of water.

Plus sodis, a free method of sanitizing water that doesn’t require expensive fuel for boiling or household bleach uses the ultra-violet rays of the direct sun.

SODIS (Solar Disinfection) is ideal to disinfect small quantities of water of low turbidity. However, SODIS will not remove harmful chemicals from chemically contaminated water. Fairly clear dirty water is filled into clear transparent plastic bottles of 3 liters/quarts or smaller in size and exposed to full sunlight for six hours. During the exposure to the sun the pathogens are destroyed.

Swiss Army Chief Recommends Creating Emergency Supplies

André Blattmann, the head of the Swiss army, has already repeatedly made warnings about hazards that affect the safety of Switzerland.

So he called one of the greatest threats the debt crisis in the EU.

Due to the continuing impoverishment of the population in the crisis countries a large wave of migration could be triggered, which spills over into Switzerland and therefore necessitates the use of the army.

Already hundreds of thousands from the EU have immigrated to Switzerland, which is an undisputed fact.

The numbers are now so high, so there was a majoritarian ‘Yes’ to the popular initiative against mass immigration in February.

Today Blattmann has expressed in the newspaper ‘Switzerland on Sunday’ the recommendation, the Swiss population should create emergency supplies.

He would do it himself.

…

The main task of the army chief is to assess the security situation in Switzerland.

As ‘the most important element’ in his reflections he refers to the debt crisis in the EU, as these could cause a ‘destabilizing’ effect.

The latest reports confirm his misgivings, because in Greece, Spain and Italy there have been violent demonstrations against the austerity policies of the governments.

On Friday, protesters pelted the police with stones in Rome and the officials used batons.

Several people were injured.

End of March, tens of thousands of people from all over Spain have demonstrated at one of the largest protests against the austerity policies of the government.

The protest in Madrid ended with violence.

During riots were injured at least 101 people and 24 arrested.

The consequences of the debt crisis intensify, more and more, poverty and hopelessness expressed increasingly in protests, and with more and more violence.

So exploded in front of the Bank of Greece in Athens, a car bomb on Tuesday.

However, many of those affected do not take to the streets to demonstrate, but vote with their feet off, leave their home and come increasingly to Switzerland.

Actually, Blattmann says the crisis in Ukraine was an issue.

It would have changed the security situation in Europe.

‘What happened in the Crimea shows that we need to improve the intelligence services and the mobilization.
Nevertheless, should something happen, we must be able to react ‘.

There are two main lessons:

‘First, no one knows what the future holds – there were all surprised.
And second, who the can not defend themselves, dictated the history of what they have to do’.

The army chief also said that society had become more vulnerable and is not really prepared to new risks such as cyber attacks or power outages.

Therefore, he himself had drawn conclusions:

At home he keeps in stock

’30 or 40 six-packs of mineral water without carbonic acid’.

This corresponds to about 300 liters of mineral.

In addition, the army chief has a water cistern.

Water is the most important thing in an emergency, he says:

‘For daily needs, each at least needs eight liters of water.
For drinking, cooking, personal hygiene’.

Blattmann also warns against a power failure.

Without electricity would run nothing, such as the heating.

Therefore, he would also have a supply of wood for his fireplace.

The private security precautions he made

‘two or three years ago’:

‘The new risks and threats have made me sensitive’.

He advises the public to take precautions:

‘Perhaps it would be good to tell people: It is good if you have a few supplies for emergencies at home.
Also tins.
This helps to bridge a few days until the courant (current) is normally produced again ‘.

When the army chief expresses such warnings and recommendations, then you should take this seriously.

Finally, he surveys the security situation best.

He not only warns, but leads by example.

To create an emergency supply is always a good idea.

Is as an insurance policy which you hope never to have needed, but if a situation arises you are secured and can lean back a while…

Remember, if a run on ‘super’ markets starts, within less than only three hours, the shelves are emptied, the traffic blocked completely and stampede in the cities…

SHTF Living When TSHTF
Tips and advice on how to survive an Ebola epidemic when SHTF!
Last Revised 9/16/2014

Remember the Rule Of 3 for SHTF survival:

You can only survive about 3 minutes without air.
You can only survive about 3 hours without shelter/adequate protection from the environment.
You can only survive about 3 days without water.
You can only survive about 3 weeks without food.
You can only survive about 3 months without medication (for chronic conditions).

How an Ebola Survive In Place Kit Can Provide the Items
You Need to Help You Escape an Ebola Epidemic

A US air marshal has been forcefully injected with a syringe at Nigeria’s Lagos Airport [September 7, 2014].
The name of the marshal has not yet been revealed, AFP reported. The FBI said in a statement that United Flight 143 landed in Houston early Monday morning and that the air marshal and the syringe are now being tested.
Fears that the syringe could have been infected with the Ebola virus spread quickly, because Nigeria remains one of the West African countries where the deadly epidemic is currently raging.
If the syringe indeed contains the deadly Ebola virus, the perpetrators were trying to get the virus to the US.

For the people living in West Africa, Ebola has become a real nightmare:

Despite all precautions possible, more than 240 health care workers have developed the disease in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and more than 120 have died. Simply put, they conclude, the current outbreak is different.
In West Africa riots are breaking out. Isolation centers are overwhelmed. Health workers on the front lines are becoming infected and are dying in shocking numbers. Entire health systems have crumbled;
Ebola continues to spread at an exponential rate. According to the World Health Organization, 47% of all Ebola cases have happened in just the last three weeks. At this point, the official numbers tell us that approximately 3,967 people have gotten the virus in Africa and more than 2,105 people have died;
Ebola treatment centers are reduced to places where people go to die alone, where little care is actually offered. It is impossible to keep up with the sheer number of infected people pouring into facilities. In Sierra Leone, infectious bodies are rotting in the streets;
Rather than building new Ebola care centers in Liberia, they are building crematoria.

Transmission rates are at unprecedented levels, and the virus is spreading quickly through Liberia’s capital, Monrovia;
Should this horrible disease reach the US, you will need to spot people that are infected immediately. Signs to watch out for include:

Spotty Rashes
Bruises
Broken blood vessels in the skin
Collections of blood under the skin after injections
Bloody vomit or sputum
Spontaneous nosebleeds
Bleeding from gums
Blood in bowel movements

What should you do?
The Ebola virus is a highly contagious. The first thing that you should do, right now, is to make a plan. This plan should involve:

If you live in a big urban area, you should think about where to bug out. A big city is the worst place to be should a pandemic start.
Learn to identify symptoms of someone with Ebola.
Not cutting corners when it comes to washing and disinfecting (it has probably caused a lot of health workers to lose their lives in West Africa)
Stockpiling food and medical supplies, including dedicated eating utensils, bedding, waste disposal materials, etc. for the sick.
Having a means of communication if the grid goes down (e.g. hand-cranked radios, etc.)
Considering safe ways to dispose of infected materials.
Choosing an isolation room. Picking an isolation room in your home is an important consideration, especially if you aren’t confident that medical help will be forthcoming. The room should be at one end of your home, have good light and a window for ventilation. You might, however, want to cover the air ducts in the room.

I recommend stocking up on masks, coveralls, eye protection, shoe covers, and gloves. Special masks called “N95” and “N100” are especially useful but a full body suit would be much more protective.
A series of medications to serve as decongestants, fever reducers, and anti-diarrhoeal agents will be useful. It is especially important to have dedicated bedding and utensils for patient use only. Chlorine bleach is thought to kill Ebola, so have a good supply to disinfect counter-tops, doorknobs, and other surfaces.
Once the epidemic has hit your area, you should be avoiding exposure to large groups of people. This is where some planning to store food and medical supplies will be very helpful. If you have food and other supplies stored in the house, it saves you multiple exposures and perhaps your life. (Editor’s Note: An Internet rumor says that American CDC workers are secretly telling relatives to have at least a 90 day supply of food, water, and other essential necessities.)

This month, a group of researchers published a report in PLOS Currents: Outbreaks that outlines the risk of Ebola spreading outside of Africa.
For the report, researchers analyzed the flow of airline passengers coming from West Africa to countries such as China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.
Overall, they wrote, “[r]esults indicate that the short-term (three and six weeks) probability of international spread outside the African region is small, but not negligible.”
Of the 13 countries analyzed, the United States was among the least likely to see an Ebola case. The researchers determined that there is a 1% to 18% chance that one case will enter the United States by Sept. 22 [2014].
But with time, the risk will increase, the researchers warn. “What is happening in West Africa is going to get here. We can’t escape that at this point,” says lead author Alessandro Vespignani.

American CDC estimates could be over 550,000 cases of Ebola.

Water Sanitation Kit (For Warm Sponge Baths)

While surviving in place when SHTF, running water for bathing may not available from your household plumbing. A method of sanitizing water that doesn’t require expensive fuel for boiling or household bleach uses the ultra-violet rays of the direct sun. SODIS (Solar Disinfection) is ideal to disinfect small quantities of water of low turbidity. However, SODIS will not remove harmful chemicals from chemically contaminated water. Fairly clear dirty water is filled into clear transparent plastic bottles of 3 liters/quarts or smaller in size and exposed to full sunlight for six hours. During the exposure to the sun the pathogens are destroyed. If cloudiness is greater than 50% , the plastic bottles need to be exposed for 2 consecutive days in order to produce water safe for bathing. However, if water temperatures exceed 50°C, one hour of exposure is sufficient to obtain safe bathing water. The treatment efficiency can be improved if the plastic bottles are exposed on sunlight reflecting surfaces such as aluminium (foil) or corrugated-iron sheets.
All the method requires is a reusable cheesecloth, a funnel, a washed clear transparent bottle with a cap (e.g. a washed 2 liter empty plastic Coke bottle with the label removed), and a piece of aluminium foil big enough to place the bottle on sideways. The funnel is placed in the mouth of the bottle, the cheesecloth in the funnel, and fairly clear non-murky dirty water from a running source (e.g. a river or stream) is slowly poured onto and through the cheesecloth filling the bottle almost to the top. The funnel and cheesecloth are removed and the bottle capped. Then the bottle is placed on the aluminium foil sideways in the direct sunlight for 6 to 48 hours. The disinfected water in the bottle is then carefully poured out into a small basin or a collapsible camping pail without disturbing any sediment that has settled on the side or bottom of the bottle. If fresh from the direct sun, the disinfected water can be used for a warm sponge bath using soap and hair shampoo or the washing of hands using soap.
A wash cloth, a hand towel measuring approximately 16″ x 28″, and a small basin or collapsible pail (found at camping stores) will be needed for taking sponge baths. Consider substituting cheaper bath sponges for the wash cloths and cheaper (automotive) microfiber towels for the hand towels. Microfiber towels are less bulky, more absorbent, and dry out quicker. Try and get a microfiber towel as close to 16″ x 28″ in size as possible. Many of these items can be purchased very cheaply at Wal-Mart, Harbor Freight, Dollar stores, or Thrift stores.

Must read if you spend over a week in Switzerland

By J. G. Heiser on November 8, 2000

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

This turned out to be an utterly fascinating book, and it explained quite a bit about Swiss behavior and culture. While I of course can’t vouch for everything in the book, I’ve tested a lot of it by observation and questioning the natives, and it seems consistent with reality.
Switzerland turns out to have a number of unique characteristics that aren’t obvious to the outsider. For example, the government consists of an extraordinarily complex nested set of committees with a rotating presidency. The author makes the case that virtually all Swiss institutions, including government at all levels, the church and major corporations, are strongly influenced by an 800-year tradition of committee organization. In spite of having the most stable government in Europe (which my Swiss co-workers do not dispute), Switzerland has one of the most malleable constitutions in the world (which my co-workers do dispute).
I’m personally fascinated by language issues, so I read ahead to that chapter before finishing the lengthy chapter on politics. Again, Switzerland is unique in its treatment of dialects, which have very different social implications and practices in the French, German, Italian, and Romansh areas. According to the author, the urban Swiss Germans gave serious consideration to aligning themselves with ‘greater Germany’ in the 19th century. This obviously did not take place, and one of the unique results is that the local versions of Schwyzer Tüütsch (choose your spelling depending upon the valley you’re in) are universally spoken without significant class variations. In other words, this chapter explains why the Italian Swiss are more likely to be comfortable in standard Italian, and the French Swiss are more comfortable in standard French, than the Swiss Germans are speaking standard German. As any outsider who speaks German is painfully aware, the Swiss Germans read and write standard German (Hochdeutsch), but generally prefer not to speak it.
Swiss seem more willing to discuss politics than religion, but the chapter on religion was enlightening. After all, Switzerland was at the heart of the reformation, with Zwingli in Züri and Calvin in Geneva. Again, the Swiss are unique among European countries in their treatment of religion and the extraordinary compromises they have made to allow the peaceful co-existence of roman catholicism and protestantism.
The Swiss military is, unsurprisingly at this point, another unique institution. Virtually the entire male population is expected to belong to the reserves for most of their working years, and they keep their weapons and ammunition in their homes. It was only recently that 52 year olds were no longer required to serve a short annual duty. I’ve found that the military intrudes regularly when you are working with the Swiss, so besides being interesting, the chapter on the Army is helpful in becoming more aware of some of the workplace dynamics.
How can a country with 4 different official languages have and maintain a common culture? What do the different regions have in common? Quite a bit, actually. Anyone who deals with the Swiss on a regular basis or spends over a week here would find this book a helpful start on building an understanding of Swiss institutions and culture. This would also be an excellent book for students doing cultural area studies of Europe or Switzerland. It is a good read, and anyone interested in contemporary Europe would enjoy it and find it educational.
