FEMA

It's not a classified secret that Illinois would have several locations that would be prime targets for an enemy if the worst-case scenario nuclear exchange everyone fears ever becomes reality. However, there's a FEMA map that shows an alarming number of Illinois targets including many in the middle of nowhere.

We know that life can be dangerous. I will admit that I didn't know that Wisconsin was in so much jeopardy though until I saw 12 somewhat terrifying risk assessment maps from FEMA about potential natural disasters.

Say what you want about FEMA, but they are good at planning. The result of all that planning is a set of new risk maps for Missouri and Illinois that are more than a little bit terrifying.

The good news is this is just a hypothetical scenario that will hopefully never happen. The bad news is if a first-strike nuclear attack on America ever happens, a new FEMA map shows dozens of places in Wisconsin would be in trouble during the beginning of a horrific conflict.

In the event that something catastrophic happens like a nuclear war, there is a nuclear bunker located right here in Indiana.

We know that Missouri would be a likely early target if a worst-case scenario first strike nuclear attack ever happened, but there's a new area that I've never heard mentioned before that has emerged and it could be devastating.

FEMA and FCC are conducting a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on Oct. 4. Learn more about the test and what to expect.
