Overview
About Nuclear Readiness Kit
In a nuclear or chemical emergency the official instruction in Canada is short: go inside, stay inside, stay tuned. This kit is built around those three steps. The gas mask and coveralls keep dust off you and out of your lungs while you get indoors. The sheeting and tape close up a room. The radio keeps you connected to official instructions when the power and the network are down.
Bought together the three kits cost less than they do separately, and everything stores in one labelled case. Add a Gas Mask Kit for each additional adult. No product stops radiation itself; what protects you is a solid building, distance and time, and this kit helps you use them.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Nothing in this kit stops radiation. The mask and coveralls only keep radioactive dust out of your lungs and off your skin. Shelter, distance and time reduce radiation dose.
- One mask, for one adult. It will not seal over a beard, and there is no equivalent protection for young children.
- The mask does not filter carbon monoxide or supply oxygen, and it is not a NIOSH CBRN-approved system (it is certified to European EN standards).
- Does not include potassium iodide. In Ontario, KI pills are free to anyone living or working within 50 km of a nuclear station at preparetobesafe.ca.

Questions
What do I actually need for a nuclear emergency?
Mostly a plan and a solid building. The official advice is to go inside, stay inside and stay tuned, and to be prepared to shelter in place for at least 24 hours. Useful equipment is a battery or crank radio, the means to seal a room, stored water and food, and a way to avoid breathing in or carrying in radioactive dust.
Does a gas mask protect against nuclear radiation?
No. A gas mask filters radioactive dust so you do not breathe it in, which matters, but radiation itself passes through any mask or suit. Protection from radiation comes from putting dense walls and distance between you and the fallout and waiting while it decays.
Does this include potassium iodide pills?
No. ICEKIT does not sell potassium iodide. It protects only the thyroid, only from radioactive iodine, and should be taken only when public health authorities say so. In Ontario it is free within 50 km of a nuclear station at preparetobesafe.ca.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
