Paul Drake Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 On this note, bearing in mind that this country's Civil Defence effectively no longer exists, I recently enquired of our local district council (South Somerset) what their budget was and what they intended to do if the Japanese radiation incident worsened and the population needed protection. They merely pointed me at the National Incident website. I went there and was not inspired by what I read. I suspect anything done in any kind of disaster scenario would be too little and too late.
