Nuclear Survival in
Massachusettes

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

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

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

2. Look at the general expected fallout map to see where Massachusettes
(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 Massachusettes. 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 would like to be on the mailing list of the author of this site - send a blank email to:

    231. Sirius Community

    Sirius Community

    In 1978 former members of the Findhorn Community in Scotland set out to start a new community in the U.S. - a "Center of Light" - a community of spiritual renewal grounded in ecological living. They settled in Western Massachusetts and founded Sirius, named after the star which is known esoterically as the source of love and wisdom for our planet.

    Nineteen years later we see ourselves as a Center of Light and as an aspiring Eco-village researching spiritual and ecological principles and demonstrating what we've learned.

    Sirius is 24 adults, eight children, and several apprentices and interns living, working, and playing on 93 acres of hardwood forest in western Massachusetts. We are situated between the Quabbin Reservoir and the Connecticut River valley, nestled on the eastern hills of the Pioneer Valley - a fertile seedbed of cultural and spirtual activity that forms our larger community.

    Our primary activities include each member's personal spiritual growth; our outreach to the world through our guest programs and Conference Center; our work toward becoming a model ecovillage; and our newly formed School of Ecological Community Living. Our Guest Department brings like-minded groups from all over the world to conduct workshops and conferences on spirituality and personal growth, community building, and ecological sustainability.

    We derive our community income from community members' rents and dues, rental of the conference facilities, and tuition from students of the School of Ecological Community Living. Some members work as staff for the community, some have home businesses, and some work at jobs outside of Sirius.

    Sacred Community

    At Sirius we acknowledge the positive impact that a unified group aligned with Spirit can have on the destiny of this planet. Sirius is one part of an expanding network of light working to increase the consciousness of the earth's inhabitants.

    This intentional spiritual community is where we are drawn to offer our most effective healing service to the world. We are here for each other and visitors; for fellowship, assistance, reminders, reflections, and perspective, as we strive to embody this vision of a new planetary consciousness that honors the interconnectedness and sacredness of all living things.

    We invite you to join with us in this ongoing journey.

    Sustainable Living

    We believe we are the stewards of our land and not its owners. We are learning to enter into sacred relationship with our surroundings by living lightly upon the earth. In harmony with nature's rhythms, we are striving to create a sustainable abundance that we can pass on to future generations.

    301. Massachusetts

    The name of our group is START- Survival Training And Reaction Team.

    Our Mission at START is:

  • To survive any potential disaster by being prepared.
  • To prepare by equipping ourselves with the necessary survival tools
    and our minds with the necesarry survival training.
  • To train in hands-on skills stressing realistic scenarios.
  • To maintain skills, information, and equipment necessary to asist the possible rebuilding of America.

    We at START:

  • Are not looking for couch potatoes.
  • Are not looking for weekend Rambos.
  • Are not interested in talkers.
  • We don't welcome racists.
  • Are not a militia.

    If someone is willing to train, equip, sweat and freeze, with others who intend to preserve their family's lives and the American way of life. They are welcome in our group.

    http://members.aol.com/nesurvival
    Our Philosophy:

    We at the Survival Training And Reaction Team believe that the government can not and will and will not be able to help in the event of a real disaster or emergency and that it is the responsibility of individuals to protect and prepare themselves and their families from any upcoming disaster.

    We do not subscribe to the latest Chicken Little, 'sky is falling,' emergency of the day. If Y2K turns out to be nothing more than an inconveince, we will consider that a dress rehearsal for any upcoming crisis. Make no mistake however, we WILL be ready.

    We will be prepared to assist with rebuilding America in the aftermath of a crash.

    We are located in the New England area and we base our Team loosely on the 'group" in the fictional novel called "Triple Ought".
