Here in the Radicchio Colony, we have released a list of items to stockpile to our citizens.
This list includes 10 required items.

Required items include

    1 ) A 12 gauge shotgun for every person between the ages of 15 and 50.
    2 ) Shotgun shells, preferably 50-100 per gun.
    3 ) Dimensional lumber for boarding up windows and doors.
    4 ) 30 gallons of drinking water per person.
    5 ) Atleast two tabletop or am/fm/shortwave radio sets.
    6 ) A first aid kit aimed at treating minor cuts, abrasions and illness.
    7 ) 55 gallon drum liners (6mil plastic) for sanitation, disposal and body bags.
    8 ) 50 lbs each of rice and beans per person.
    9 ) A lightweight shield made of plastic or composite material, able to be carried on one arm which measures between 32-38 inches wide by 52-58 inches tall.
    10) A "polearm" with a sharpened, high carbon steel head in a basic leaf spear point o no more than 14 inches from tip t base affixed to a wood, plastic or composite shaft 48 inches long.

The Colonial Governors Council has ordered that every head of household who shows that he or she owns, has built, acquired, purchased or traded for all of the items on this list, will be issued a Lifesaver Jerrycan Ultra Water Filter, a box of 20 light grenades and gasmasks for their entire family.

We are advising our people to band together, form local defenses, hunker down.

There has not yet been any sign of this outbreak in our nation, however doctors are advising that everyone listen closely to the radio, learn to identify symptoms and immediately report anyone showing signs of the infection to local authorities.

An amended list has been released, the items on this list are suggested items for groups, clans and families.
We advise such groups to coordinate with local constables and authorities to form a network of small fighting forces to assist in the defense of homesteads, villages and towns within Radicchio.

Local authorities have been advised to intake any and all possible patients for isolation and observation, take no chances and destroy ALL confirmed cases on sight.
Individuals who volunteer will be issued a blue coat and hat, as well as a daily ration of bacon or salt pork.

The items suggested (but not required) for individuals wishing to volunteer or groups banding together for defense is as follows:
    1 ) A lever action rifle, caliber 45Long
    2 ) 100 rounds 45Long ammunition
    3 ) Heavy Plastic Shoulder pads
    4 ) Personal Canteen or Water Bottle
    5 ) 30ft of lightweight rope or cordage.
    6 ) A Compass
    7 ) A Lightweight banana or scarf fo use as a expedient dust or smoke mask.
    8 ) A sturdy fixed blade Knife in a belt sheath.
    9 ) Backpack or Haversack for transporting personal items, ammunition and equipment.
    10 ) A roll of duct tape

Exercise caution and compassion, stay safe.

News Update:


Other nations in our region are planning on researching a cure for this plague, however Radicchio is not well known for its scientific prowess.
Outside of agricultural and industrial sciences, there is no public funding at all for this field and little private funding.
After fine inquiry, it has been discovered that there is not a single communicable disease specialist in the Colony.

In light of this regrettable situation, we have called up the full might of the defense force, declared a state of emergency and began soliciting equipment, rations and other goods from private donors.
Already, some of the largest corporations in Radicchio have responded with major donations of some very high end gear, over the next several days we will be training our Volunteer force rigorously to combat the undead.

God Help Us All.




The Governors Council will meet this afternoon to discuss what role, if any, they will play in the relief effort for this upcoming event.
The Council has already began issuing water filters to families who meet the equipment and preparation requirement, however some question if the direct involvement of taxpayer money will be necessary.
Opposition spokesman; Gregory Frein was quoted this morning saying "these are Zombies, of course tax dollars should be involved." However Noted conservative Governor Emmanuel Lucas responded "[i]i would love to help but it isnt our money to spend, i dont even know that we have the legal authority to distribute funds, or if there are any available.[/i]"

Some may recall Governor Lucas as being at the heart of last spring's "Firehouse #12" Scandal; In which a fire and emergency response team lost their lives when it was found that their equipment was grossly out of date. Governor Lucas maintained that they should have purchased their own equipment bu the Council disagreed, paying a pension to their families and establishing a National fund for the update and maintenance of Fire Equipment.
Lucas and other ultra-conservative members of the Council have called this "base socialism," however in a recent poll; 85% of Radicchians agree that there ought to be some public funding for Police, Fire and Emergency Medical services.

Will this new Defense Force see similar public funding? That is an issue that will be decided this afternoon as the council meets.



UPDATE


6:33PM
The Governor's Council has just released a statment:



It has been the descision of this Council that the defense of our land is of such great importance that it can not be left to the Individuals of our Colonies alone.
Therefore, we have chosen to take uncanny action throughout the Colonies.

Immediate action is required and as such we have appointed the Leutenant Governors of all 35 colonies to the position of Commander in what will be known as The First Colonial Expeditionary.
Each Commander is charged to immediatly comission Eight Leutenants under their command.
Each Leutenant will serve as the commander of a Regement to consist of 12 Expeditionary Units of of 24 Regimental Soldiers, a Captain, a Seargent and 2 Corporals.
Each Expeditionary Unit Will contain 4 Designated Marksmen, 2 field radio specialists, a grenadier and an engineer.

To fill these rolls, Officer Commissions will be Compulsary at the reccomendation of the Captains who are encouraged to seek out Men and Women of intelligence, Strong will and Leadership skills who have experience in either military matters or in the logistics of commerce.
To fill the necessary rolls of radio operators and engineers, coorperations, broadcasters and universities have been asked to compile dossiers on individuals who meet th skill requirements for these positions. Their service is also compulsery.
To fill the ranks of soldiers, Volunteers will be accepted.

God Speed.

How the hell are you meant to acquire 9 and 10 if you have no construction skills?

Also, arming a civilian populace when everything might just go to anarchy and your armed forces are busy fighting off the infected is a bad, bad idea.

We are confident in the resourcefull nature of our population, these items are sinple to manufacture at home or in a shop with few tools or skills.
However, those who have the skill to build these items inmass, will manufacture them, then sell, lend or trade them to those who have neither the skill nor the time to build them.

As to the issue of armed civilians, in the Radicchio Colony, we have only a small Military force which is not intended for (nor large enough for) use on a large scale defense but only for heavy assault and emergency response.

This military force cant possibly respond to a Nation wide outbreak, nor would our population want it to.
The armed citizen is our defense.

Armed Citizens are great but you need a military to fight the Zeds.

And scientists. Attacking the symptoms is only a temporary solution when you ignore the disease.

It is our worry that this outbreak could mean the point of no return for our colony's long standing resistance to a standing military force.
Long has it been true, that when necessary, our industry could pound its plowshares into swords for a time, and return then to their peaceful lives after the threat had passed.
However, with this threat, we fear that there may be a backlash among our people, calling for the establishment of, if not a National Armed Force, at the least a permanent standing Militia with officers and training facilities paid for through taxation.
This is exactly the sort of event we have feared.

Shore up your nations borders comrade, it is the first and most important part of your defense plan.

(Servinta is willing to send engineers who helped improve our old sections of the Iron Curtain to assist in building defenses if needed)

Well we do spend a ludicrous amount of money on our armed forces, so hopefully we can see that money pay off.
