Being irrelevant enough to not get targeted.

that seems kind of moot, if the chinks decide to release a bioweapon in vegas, it's only a matter of time before it ends up in your supermarket. The whole point of a biological or chemical attack is that it's indiscriminate.

I typed out a long answer and accidentally deleted it so here's a tldr
>chemical
Distribute decontamination kits to the populace- both small personal kits and larger kits to store in cars and buildings. Teach them how to use them. Distribute gas masks, filters, hazmat suits, etc as resources allow.
>biological
You're fucked. Honestly doesn't matter IMO if you get everyone isolation suits and shit, you and your neighbors won't be able to follow protocols strictly enough for long enough to stop a proper bioweapon from killing you. A tiny bit of chemical weapon exposure might burn or blind or cause cancer. A tiny bit of bioweapon exposure means almost certain death.

Depends. The United States is much better prepared to defend against a bioweapon attack now thanks to the lessons learned and protocols created from COVID. I think this was intentional, and the reason why we had such an overreaction to the virus even once its potency was clear. As to chemical weapons, they're actually the least indiscriminate type of WMD, as it's relatively difficult to get enough concentration of them into an area to have a strong effect. The super speshul soviet neurotoxin bullshit that kills at ultra low concentrations can't be produced on a large scale, not by chinks and certainly not by terrorists.

I live nearish to Terre Haute, so I don't know if there are CBRN crews still around from the VX gas destruction days or not. I definitely wouldn't want to find out. I know the problem with things like VX is that they persist in the environment for a sizable length of time.

Now that you mention it, yeah, Covid was pretty much the perfect dry run, both in mapping how a virus spreads through different areas and populations, how people respond to various measures implemented, and the efficacy of said measures
>chemical weapons
They certainly aren't trivial to produce, but they're not magic unicorn dust either, for sure not for a government. And I think you're vastly underselling the capability of organized terrorist groups
