If you use it to seal the doors and the windows you will have a better chance of surviving a chemical or a biological attack!!!

That was commonly known even during ww1 and ww2!!
Only back then they used regular old household tape!!!

Way too many who don`t have a clue!!!

Yea also during WWII they also told us to drop and roll incase of a atomic bomb was detonated.

I thought it was you should hide under your desk?

Hell I dont know all my knowledge comes from South Park.

No it was in the first or second season. the episode where there was a volcano and it was going to level the town ( the scuzzlebut, with patrick duffy episode ). I saw a clip on how the writers came up with the video how to survive a volcano and it was duck and cover. Well that came from a goverment had how to survive a atomic attack.

Duck and cover is the position you take when hiding under your desk.
We had the same procedure for earthquake drills at our school.

WWII and the cold war would seem pretty hard to confuse to me.

Yea I was off by 6 years... sue me

The part I find funny about the duct tape and plastic sheeting the windows thing was there is no way you could actually seal your house from a biological or chemical attack that way. Think about it you would have to have one continuous piece of plastic around the entire house to actually seal it (and only then would you actually run the risk of suffocating after spending a few days in your house). Either way, your windows and doors are not the only way in. Anyone have a fire place? Or what about your air conditioning system?

I think the idea was to pick one room and not the whole house. Could you create a single room with the plastic sheeting that would protect you, hmmm I don't really know, I wish I knew more about how chemicals and biological warefare.

Probably be better if we had those suits that they get in the movies.

You seal the windows, doors and fireplace, rely on sheetrock or brick or whatever for the rest. Hopefully your house isn't drafty, you'll need seal any leaks too. Most AC systems recirculate internal air, so that's not a problem. If done right, this might be good enough to keep out most biological agents, probably a majority of the chemical ones as well. So you might have reasonable chance of living long enough to suffocate.

Wow people are like sheep. "Go buy Duct tape and plastic wrap" and they all flock like lemmings and bum rush the hardware stores for those items.

Good ol' Burt the Turtle told kiddies to duck and cover back in the day. The video for it is hilariously retarded.

Think about it. along with doors and windows you would have to seal power outlets, air vents, if you have a ceiling lamp or fan the area around that, and floorboards.

At work we decided that if it was ever needed we would use the computer room, steel lined for fireproofing, as a biological shelter. We then realized that there was two holes that made it useless, where the cables came into the room and where they came out.

People died from asphyxiation after doing this because no air got into their house.

Are you serious??? Got a link? I would really like to know.

and it's true

Edit:

When you move to your shelter, use duct tape and plastic sheeting to seal any doors, windows, or vents for a short period of time in case a radiation plume is passing over (listen to your radio for instructions). Within a few hours, you should remove the plastic and duct tape and ventilate the room. Suffocation could occur if you keep the shelter tightly sealed for more than a few hours.

Depends on what the agent is. If it's bacteria or virus there's almost no chance for it to get through power outlets or through the basement and then the floorboards. Some chemical agents maybe, but if you don't have any circulation or a pressure differential you might be okay with that too. If nothing else, they'll disperse quickly, so you don't need to stay sealed up quite so long. Not a theory I want to test, though.
