Desc: Day After Disaster: Directed by Emre Sahin. With Noah Applebaum, Rick Brandelli, Clint Clark, Maboud Ebrahimzadeh. This is a documentary covering the subject of what can happen shortly after a disaster strikes, starting from seconds, to minutes, to hours, days, weeks, months, years and so on. This covers governmental, civil, military, judicial, financial, medical, manufacturing and shipping, commercial, and other aspects of support and recovery. The main scenario is an EMP blast that knocks out the power grid and also a nuclear blast on Washington D.C. and the surrounding area. What areas would be affected, what the immediate effects are and the systems in place that would work to mitigate any damage and speed recovery and thwart a future attack. It is not sensationalized, just folks in leadership positions planning for "what if?" possible scenarios. Definitely worth a viewing, then you can do your part in preparing yourself and family for the possibilities in case of a disaster. The government does not build shelters like it did in and after WWII, nor has it kept up with modernizing them, so it is up to you to seek and find suitable shelters when you are out and about or at home. It is good to know that some form of disaster scenario planning has taken place, and there are systems in place to help with recovery, although this recovery may be minimal. I can't remember if this was filmed for Discovery Channel, Science Channel or National Geographic Channel though. I saw the last five minutes of it broadcast then found it again on I-Tunes and watched the whole thing.
