While cold war was at its peak in the United States, the US Government drafted several programs in order to prepare the citizens for the nuclear holocaust. The program also included making the bomb shelters beneath the ground that were hundreds of feet low. Also the teachers in the schools had started teaching the children how to stay beneath the tables in the event of some attack. However, in 1989, this cold war culminated ending the threat to the nation.

Unfortunately, after the incident of 9/11, United States of America has been facing new enemies. While earlier USA considered itself as a country with vast army that is capable of invading any size of nation across the glob, they are now bound to face a guerilla war. Their enemy is conducting terrorist attacks inside as well outside the country.

After 2001, the country has fortunately met with no major strikes. Yet the intelligence communities across the globe state that attempts were made to bomb the transatlantic from UK.

USA like all other parts of the world does not want another war, but with the rising conflict this seems to be quite tough. Yet, on a hopeful note, it is not impossible.

We must not forget that the next big war in this world of thermonuclear powers would be good enough to destroy the whole human civilization. The usage of the chemical & biological weapons is major threat among all human beings.

Here are some tips to survive the war emergency.

2. In order to avoid dehydration in the times of war emergency, you must stock the drinkable water in enough quantity for the entire family. For this buy plastic jugs from the supermarket.
