SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods. This column is a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from JWR [1]. Our goal is to educate our readers, to help them to recognize emerging threats, and to be better prepared for both disasters and negative societal trends. You can’t mitigate a risk if you haven’t first identified a risk. In today’s column, we look at the scramble in Germany to revitalize their moribund nuclear fallout shelter program.

FEMA Rep Brags About Their Pitiful Response to Helene
SurvivalBlog’s Editor-At-Large Mike Williamson sent this from X/Twitter about FEMA’s pitiful emergency housing response [5]: “A FEMA rep did an interview to ‘address misinformation.’ In that news piece, they say there will be 65 new mobile/emergency homes that will be ready to be delivered in 2025. Yes – 2025. Yes – 65. She then goes on to smugly say: ‘We have some experience doing this. I bet your neighbor doesn’t have that experience.’ It’s just mysterious why Americans dislike FEMA a little more every day. What could it be? ”
