There are nine possible catastrophic events for the year 2012, the conditions of a disaster, a scale that would make mankind never experienced before. We're talking millions, perhaps billions of deaths worldwide and a breakdown of society, can take a thousand years to recover from if it ever ever again. But if you properly prepare all of these scenarios are viable. Like any good soldier knows, we need to know the enemy to learn, so that we can understand the best way to beathim.
Here they are in no particular order
Unrestricted global nuclear war
There are a lot of bad guys out there these days with nuclear weapons. From the point of view of survival, no matter who goes first and why, because the result is the same - global disaster straight out of hell. So because your family survived the first atomic explosion and the direct effects, it is important to take care of some other things - the radiation protection and nuclearWinter.
Radiation Protection
The nuclear reactions produce radioactive particles that extend out from Ground Zero, and when you reach heights fueled by high winds. The radioactive particles will eventually find its way back to the earth as a "fall-out '." Fall-out can cause burns and radiation sickness terminal kill animals and pollute the soil and the plants that grew in him. A wide area around the Chernobyl reactor in Russia is essentially dead land forever,and that it was a small reactor melt-down, not a multi-megaton airburst.
Nuclear winter
If you have a massive amount of nuclear explosions on the ground, an incredible amount of dirt and dust is thrown up into the atmosphere - we're talking about millions of tons of radioactive dust black swirl about ten miles high, blocking the sun from reaching the Earth's surface. We could not see the sun for two or three years, and without them, it isGetting the cold truth, and nothing is growing. Vast areas of the planet will be in corner of dust and sand storms in Europe and North America grenades exploded.
However, it is most places in the southern hemisphere and the north, far enough away to escape from the explosion area, and most of the radiation fall-out, and most of the impact protection of nuclear winter. This is where you want to be you and your family want to maximize your chances of staying alive in2012th
Impacts from space
This is the worst of the worst case. Where is the mystery planet Nibiru, a comet or asteroid, a monster with a massive Near Earth Object (NEO) has crashed to the ground all that bad. So if you're ready, have to survive is to be ready for anything! The Earth has been extinguished NEO great strikes many times before, and the largest of all 65 million years before the dinosaurs, during the night. If a country NEO hits we get a situation like thatnuclear winter, which we discussed above, as well as a devastating shock wave, lava showers, earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Not even nuclear bombs all over the world go away all at once one millionth the energy of a NEO would have an impact on our planet. Winter NEO impact could last decades and the world plunge into a new ice age. If a NEO lands in the ocean, we get several hundred meters of tsunamis caused by earthquakes enormous change in the tectonicPlates from which the earth's crust. Basse districts to become stinking swamps devastated by disease.We likely to be very little warning of an asteroid strike - perhaps only hours or even minutes, because they travel so fast and are almost invisible against the black background of space.
On the other hand, we have several months to prepare an impact of a comet or Nibiru. Unfortunately, they are less able to take items to us. So what's new as in the period after aImpact?
Arrival at several thousand miles per hour, a huge SEO is enough energy on impact with the Earth's crust and the lava splashes high in the central fracture atmosphere. Massive shock wave of thousands of degrees and radiating outwards from the point of zero leveling all trees and buildings for hundreds of miles in every direction. In an impact ocean, a sea of lava combine to form a burst of superheated steam, causing acid rain more. This rain of burningwould continue to decline for years, scouring away all plant life and contaminate all the water sources (except artesian springs in the mountains). To survive a massive attack NEO must be very underground, and are far from the crash site to have any chance. However, there is still a good possibility that the mole is not the Earth is a giant to be hits, and the massive increase your chances of survival - the time you're willing that is. Otherwise, no matter where you are, isTime to kiss your ass goodbye.
Solar Flares
The sun is a huge nuclear reactor in the sky. Every so often happens extra strong reactions in the atmosphere of the sun and solar energy in space launches. This is a solar flare. Small solar flares, astronomers have discovered all the time and usually does not affect us because our atmosphere absorbs and deflects the radiation extra safe. But if 2012 a huge solar flare, the land surface and all means to them could bedistributed to the fire in minutes from radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum. We would like to get enough warning in the bunker, but only if they close. How bad it is for your family, also depends on whether it occurs at night or day - which you certainly do not want there at noon, when a doomsday flare exploded in his head.
The good news is that it is relatively simple, a refuge that almost all the energy of a solar flare to absorb even a giant one building, so the survival ofEvent is not necessarily the hardest part. The real challenge is to stay alive after that in which the homeless outside of your world.
Super volcano eruption
Mount St. Helens or Mount Pinatubo are nothing compared to the dormant volcano, the Yellowstone National Park is great. An outbreak of killing millions of people and make a large portion of central North America uninhabitable. The rest of the world would suffer from the huge cloud of volcanic ash thrown up tothe atmosphere, creating a new scenario of nuclear winter. But Yellowstone is just a place to hide the super volcano ready to erupt, the earth and under the ocean.
A monster underwater volcanic eruption would be even deadly, triggering a tsunami that would be super around the world, the elimination of entire countries like it, drowning millions of people in a few hours. For the majority of people in coastal areas, including low-lying places in it, there would be no escape.But families just lucky or smart enough, in non-volcanic areas on solid ground to over 1000 meters high, will be in better shape - but for how long?
Earthquake
It is not a matter of time "The Big One" will happen, but where and when. Major shifts in many of the world's largest tectonic plates are well overdue - including killing powerful San Andreas Fault in California, the millions of Los Angeles and along the west coast would be.
The sameworst place to be in an earthquake in a city, especially in a skyscraper or in the streets below. Damage from the earthquake in the land, even the mass are usually quite localized, but if we have an under the sea, you get a tsunami.
The Indonesian tsunami of Christmas 2005 killed more than a hundred thousand people - drowned or crushed by falling buildings and debris and then died after falling from disease and hunger. If you saw the video of the FBI parking lot during the SamoanTsunami in 2009 tsunami bound to be taken very seriously - and that was only 3 feet tall!
I think it's pretty obvious where you want to be to avoid a huge tsunami? For very high, away from the sea. The problem with this scenario, like many others, the disaster is not the only threat - you must be willing to work with other people who have survived, but is not ready to look like you have. Most of them are desperate and do what you have.
SuperVirus or bacteria
The most common causes of death in recorded history, diseases. The Black Death of 14th Century was a bacterium untreatable by fleas living on rats to spread. In some European cities up to 90% of the population was exterminated. Overall, in 100 years the plague killed 30% of its population. And more recently, in living memory, in fact, the influenza pandemic of 1919 killed tens of millions of people around the world.
New threats are disease, whichall the time. We've covered bird flu and swine flu is pretty good, but 2012 is the year when the fever comes next. international air travel virtually guarantees its distribution throughout the world almost immediately, especially for people living in big crowded cities.
And the key to survival in this scenario. Fit, healthy families must live in remote rural areas in clean, warm houses, and have absolutely minimal contact with the outside world, they feel pretty good about theirOpportunities.
Reverse polarity
Reverse polarity, where the magnetic field swap ends of the earth is a fact. It happens every 400,000 years or so, but what are the causes remain unknown. Reverse polarity may be achieved by the influence of a black hole found in the vicinity of the room, or a massive upsurge in the electro-magnetic activity of the sun.
Some experts believe that 2012 reversal causes the Earth to start rotating in the opposite direction - a frightening scenarioleader of massive storms, tsunamis and earthquakes, in every corner of the earth. In addition, the smart money is to survive underground in the mountains. And, preferably, ancient mountains of rock, as did the mighty Appalachians.
Black Hole in Space
We ourselves are in this scenario, but now we get something concrete in contact. A black hole is what remains when a dying giant star collapses into a dense ball of matter - a ball much smaller than our Moon. ThisStuff is so dense that a matchbox full of matter Black Hole would weigh thousands of tons. And the thing is that it is the heavy reliance of the great star, whose death has created yet. In fact, its gravity so strong that devour everything in millions of miles - then pull the light (that's why holes are called blacks, because not even light can escape).
A black hole that suddenly appear in the room, even within thousands of light yearspull earth, our entire solar system would be thrown on them and the location of each planet out of balance. We could not with Venus, Mars or the moon to collide. O for the combined gravity of the black hole with Jupiter and Saturn we can pull away from the heat of the sun, or send us to fall on them. However, the surface of the earth would soon become uninhabitable. The only place to survive would be in caves or underground bunkers.
Deluge
The Bibletells us that Noah was 100 years before the flood warning and used his time to prepare for the construction of the ark and collecting animals. We will not have the luxury of so much time to be ready, when another great flood will hit the world in 2012. About 60% of the world's population lives in areas that might be totally high on a tide of only 20 meters under water. The almost three billion people are threatened with drowning. The panic as everyone tries to reach a higher levelsame time is almost unimaginable. And most of them at a higher level is beyond their reach.
Even the threat of global warming and the gradual rise in sea levels that will come with him to many people about the consequences for them and their loved ones that if this scenario comes to pass. But a flood in 2012, had much more to come at once - accompanied by a massive hurricane one hundred miles for twenty hours and days of torrential rain relentlessly. The roads arebe made impassable a few hours. Remember Hurricane Katrina? This is 1000 times worse.
So what could be the next flood? The most likely scenario is a near miss from planet Nibiru. When Nibiru passes between the Earth and the Sun, its gravitational pull could upset the Earth's orbit takes us closer to the sun, leading to a rapid increase in air and water temperature. The average warmer conditions would be much faster evaporation of water in the atmosphere.
At the same timeNibiru is in near miss would accelerate the speed at which the Earth rotates, thereby speeding up the jet stream (strong wind), as well. And as anyone can tell time you know increases dramatically when hit, moist air and the jet stream produces a hot thing - Super Storms. And here's the thing, not only to get a super time. We all have hundreds of the world, with the rain as no one has ever seen before, maybe even Noah.
But not all. Even people who live on aMany of land on earth can not be sure. spread catastrophic landslides would come hand in hand with the 2012 flood. Sodden slopes would give way without warning and plunge the valleys below, taking with him all the cities. In recent years, many thousands of landslides in South America and China have killed.
Alaska Tsunami of 1963 caused by the landslide caused by an earthquake. The front wall of a fjord, rushed into the water, sending a wave of more than 1000Meters into the sea, obliterating everything in its path.
Of course, the solution for the survival of this last scenario is clear enough. Being in mountainous areas, where high slopes are mostly based on solid, rock steady, and make sure that the valleys, which are due to heavy rain in fast rushing streams.
OK, so that the bad news. Let's see what we can do to help your family to survive the worst of 2012 can throw at you.
