Bunkers have been around for centuries, and their purpose is to provide a safe haven during emergencies. They are usually designed to withstand natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and even nuclear war. However, in recent times, there has been a growing concern about the usefulness of bunkers. In fact, many experts believe that bunkers are completely useless in most situations. In this article, we will examine why bunkers are useless and explore alternative options.

Firstly, it is important to note that bunkers are not indestructible. They may be able to withstand some disasters, but they are not invincible. For instance, during a nuclear war, a bunker may protect you from the initial blast, but it may not protect you from the radiation fallout. Additionally, a bunker is susceptible to structural damage over time, especially if it is not maintained properly.

The Doomsday Clock has moved the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been - largely because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and also the climate crisis. Now, a study finds five locations most likely to survive an apocalyptic nuclear winter.

If 2023 is the year the world starts to collapse, scientists think they know where you should head to survive.

Now, researchers say Australia and New Zealand are among five island nations most likely to survive an apocalyptic nuclear winter.

The study, by the University of Otago and Adapt Research in New Zealand, looked at the impact of "a severe sun-reducing catastrophe" such as a nuclear war, super volcano or asteroid strike on global agricultural systems.

Researchers found Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu most capable of continuing to produce food despite the reduced sunlight and fall in temperatures - and help reboot a collapsed human civilisation.

How To Prepare For A Hurricane

Beyond Just Flashlights And Batteries

How often have you heard this ‘typical’ recommendation (from ‘.gov’)?

"For emergency preparedness keep a disaster supply kit containing 72 hours of food & water, a flashlight with extra batteries, a battery powered radio, and a First Aid Kit."

While those preps are simply logical, it seems ridiculous to even have to suggest them (who doesn’t already have a flashlight in their home?). What’s worse, it may be portrayed that these ordinary preps are adequate to weather the storm (hurricane?)! Really?

Here are a few recommendations to help make better decisions and judgements during a time when there’s a hurricane in the forecast:
