Nuclear War

The Cold War ended in 1989. But thousands of intercontinental ballistic missiles remain — quietly poised in their underground silos and submarine holding bays. Russia has them. China has them. India and Pakistan have them. We have them. And multiple nations, some rogue states, and probably a few terrorist organizations are undoubtedly attempting to develop or acquire them. Could this be why Americans still cite ‘nuclear war’ as the most likely cause of an end-of-the-world apocalypse when polled as recently as 2015 — even though the Cold War ended around 3 decades ago?

The exact scale of a nuclear war that could occur in the future cannot be known, of course. Would it be “small” and impact relatively few countries? Or would it be widespread and affect most countries of the earth? Would a majority of the United States be destroyed or would the destruction be limited to parts of one or two cities? And how would the nuclear fallout affect the survivors who were fortunate enough to remain?

The Solution?

The Resort at Forest Haven. While the survivors of a nuclear war pick up the pieces of what’s left of society and then try to find radiation-free areas of shelter, resort members can feel secure in knowing they have a safe haven to retreat to. Within The Resort at Forest Haven there is abundant clean water, food, and fuel storage. We have access to medical facilities and personnel as well as medicine and pharmaceutical supplies. We have security, communications and transportation. Due to our distance from likely target areas, we have grain fields, fruit and nut orchards, and vineyards free of radioactive contamination. We have everything necessary to be completely self-sufficient and at the same time, maintain the high standard of living that you and your family are accustomed to — even after something as devastating as a nuclear war.

Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of. —-

Even with the best intentions, you can have a nuclear war, a nuclear holocaust, through miscalculation, through accidents. —

Although September 11 was horrible, it didn’t threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do.

People tend to forget about nuclear weapons. We think they are going to remain in silos for the rest of time. As long as they exist, they are going to be used.

I have to bring to your notice a terrifying reality: with the development of nuclear weapons Man has acquired, for the first time in history, the technical means to destroy the whole of civilization in a single act.

— Joseph Rotblat

The threat of nuclear weapons is not so much Russia attacking the United States, China. It’s not a state-to-state – it’s obviously terrorism; it’s proliferation.

— Lawrence Bender

I really believe the nexus of terrorism and nuclear weapons is the world’s most ominous threat.

— Valerie Plame

There are two problems for our species’ survival – nuclear war and environmental catastrophe – and we’re hurtling towards them.

This is the reality of nuclear weapons: they may trigger a world war; a war which, unlike previous ones, destroys all of civilization.

— Joseph Rotblat

An asteroid or a super volcano could certainly destroy us, but we also face risks the dinosaurs never saw: An engineered virus, nuclear war, inadvertent creation of a micro black hole, or some as-yet-unknown technology could spell the end of us.

— Elon Musk

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It’s a delusion to think it’s gone away.

— Kevin Costner

And the fact of the matter is there were thousands of people that went through those training camps in Afghanistan. We know they are seeking deadlier weapons – chemical, biological and nuclear weapons if they can get it. — Dick Cheney

Indeed, the whole human species is endangered, by nuclear weapons or by other means of wholesale destruction which further advances in science are likely to produce.
