Kesha: That a good question, Dassa! Well, I would tell you all to remain calm and focus on surviving. The first thing you need to do is get yourself some clean drinking water. It's likely all you'll find is dirty water, but that's okay, we can fix it. Dirty water carries a small chance of disease and it's a bit radioactive. You'll probably survive if you drink it, but you shouldn't take that risk! It's better than toxic water or nuclear waste though, which are both very harmful and should be boiled throughly first. Got that, Dassa?

Kesha: You can build machines that can do it for you, and that's the most reliable way. Building them requires some space and time and plenty of materials.

Dassa: If I boil water, and that's mostly safe, well aside from a teensy bit of radiation, well what about tea? Most folks around here are tea drinkers as you know.

Dassa Ben-Ami: This is my first interview with another survivor, Kesha McDermott. She found me trying to break into a Nuka-Cola machine and showed me a different way. So Kesha... can you tell us a bit about how we can make sure our water is safe for drinking? Try to keep it to the basics for training purposes.

Kesha McDermott: It's not complicated, really. Find water and strain out any big particles and chunks. Then boil it in a pot over an open fire for a minute or two, then let it cool. Should be fine. Like making tea, right?

Dassa Ben-Ami: You joined the Responders a while ago and helped develop a program to train volunteers. So, were you a survivalist prior to all of this?

Kesha McDermott: You could say that. I taught high school kids! I used to talk about this very thing to them - practical application of the sciences. It's fascinating, but... you never realize how important some things will be down the road, do you?

Dassa Ben-Ami: I guess not. So, if we were students of yours, what would you tell us about the world now? How can we survive?

Kesha McDermott: That's a good question, Dassa. I would tell you all first of all, to remain calm and focus on surviving. The first thing you need to do is get yourself some clean drinking water. It's likely all you'll find is dirty water, but that's ok! We can fix it. Dirty water carries a small chance of disease and is a bit radioactive. You'll probably survive if you drink it, but you shouldn't take that risk. It's better than toxic water or nuclear waste though, which are both very harmful and should be boiled thoroughly first. Got that, Dassa?

Dassa Ben-Ami: Yes'm - contaminated waters should be boiled. Ok. That sounds easy enough. So boiled water is safe?

Kesha McDermott: It's mostly safe, but still a bit radioactive. What you really want is purified water.

Dassa Ben-Ami: Ohh, purified water. How do I get that?

Kesha McDermott: You can build machines that will do it for you, and that's the most reliable way. Building them requires some space and time, and plenty of materials. But on my way up here from Watoga, I found purified water occasionally in supply caches and medical kits. So keep your eyes peeled.

Dassa Ben-Ami: If I boil water and that's mostly safe - aside from a teensy bit of radiation - what about tea? Most folks around here are tea drinkers, as you know.

Kesha McDermott: Mhmm. Class dismissed!

Behind the scenes

The following paragraph was recorded for Kesha McDermott to say during her second-to-last paragraph, but is not used in the final version of the holotape.

If anyone wants to help, just become a volunteer in Flatwoods and get a water testing kit from me. It's a fast process but it helps a lot.
