What To Do If You Survive From A Nuclear Attack In Your City

U.S. Rethinks Strategy for the Unthinkable -- New York Times

Suppose the unthinkable happened, and terrorists struck New York or another big city with an atom bomb. What should people there do? The government has a surprising new message: Do not flee. Get inside any stable building and don’t come out till officials say it’s safe.

The advice is based on recent scientific analyses showing that a nuclear attack is much more survivable if you immediately shield yourself from the lethal radiation that follows a blast, a simple tactic seen as saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Even staying in a car, the studies show, would reduce casualties by more than 50 percent; hunkering down in a basement would be better by far.

My Comment: I am old enough to remember when Democrat politicians and liberal/anti-nuclear groups were heaping scorn on the suggestion that people should put duct tape around their windows to seal any cracks or openings in the event that nuclear fallout should pass through their area. Years later .... now that they are in power .... they are now supporting what they scorned only a few years back.

Bottom line .... go to your basement, hope that the windows are not broken, seal your windows and doors with duct tape .... and stay there for as long as you can. If you should survive, then the real struggle will start.
