Our LifeShield Bunkers program is a compliment to our
Space Habitats program. It is a fallback position
in case programs such as our
BioShield and NanoShield fail globally or locally.
A bunker can be quite large, such as
Biosphere 2. A large bunker
would be a place where babies are born and children play and go to
school.
Participation
Let us know if you wish to participate in a local LifeShield Bunker. We will
contact you if and when we find a cluster of interested people in your area.

Examples of what you can contribute:
• labor to build a redoubt
• vital skills, e.g. medical, engineering
• building suitable for a redoubt
• vital equipment, e.g. radio transmitter
• rapid transport to redoubt, preferably jet
• youth and good genes
• firearms and training
• land to build a redoubt
• money
Include your age, any medical issues, and information about
family
members who would accompany you to a redoubt.

Improving Homes and Offices
LifeShield bunkers can be extended to include making homes and offices
into survivable structures with
zero or limited aesthetic compromises. This will enable civil defense to
work with our day-to-day lives. If our homes and offices are our
blast shelters, then 80% or more of the time we will have some
protection against possible disasters. If you only had an old style
bomb
shelter in your backyard then it is not likely you would be in it
when things hit the fan
Our goal is to design society to shrink the radius of fatalities
around a nuclear explosion or other disaster and reduce the percentage
of
dead
Simple steps to dramatically reduce deaths from nuclear weapons,
hurricanes,
and
earthquakes include: iiii
Require a retrofit of all old houses and new houses to use
HurriQuake® or better nails
Distribute new anti-radiation drugs widely
Use radiation resistance increasing gene therapy and drugs
Use/retrofit with cellulose nanopaper (stronger than cast iron) for
construction
Use stronger cement
Use carbon nanotube/graphene reinforcement (add hydrogen for
radiation blocking)
Use stronger windows and doors
Find better fire/thermal resistance modifications
Many small nuclear reactors would enable a more robust electrical grid
(in the event of very rare accidents/incidents, recall that we should
have radiation resistance enhancing treatments and super-effective
anti-radiation drugs)
Spend more money to harden the structure of hospitals and other places
that are critical to enable civilization to survive a nuclear attack
or other disaster
10–50 times reduction in fatalities is very doable even without the
tech getting too fancy.
1000+ times reduction is doable with better but achievable technology,
which we
will need because that same category of technology will also boost
offense.
(Nanofactories could make a lot of nukes, so it is a good thing that
they
would also help bring us protection against nukes
as well.)
