7. Stay Calm and Follow Official Guidance

In a nuclear emergency, authorities will issue guidelines on how to respond. Stay tuned to official communications (e.g., through a battery-powered radio or emergency broadcast systems). Follow their advice, as they will provide the latest information on radiation levels, sheltering, and evacuation procedures.

While preparing for a nuclear attack might seem extreme, it’s a good idea to be ready for any kind of emergency. The key is to be informed, prepared, and calm under pressure. Ensuring you have the right supplies, shelter, and communication plan in place will give you the best chance of surviving a nuclear crisis and its aftermath.
