How To Survive a Nuclear Fallout? Where To Hide.

  • There are a few strategic things you should do immediately after a nuclear bomb attack. For starters, find the densest, thickest building nearby, and then take shelter there right away:

    For example, sturdy brick or concrete structures that lack windows, or heading underground to a cellar, basement, or sub-basement. Hiding in such a place will expose you to just 1/200 of the fallout radiation you’d be exposed to outside. Obviously, an actual bomb shelter is ideal, but most people aren’t near those. This FEMA graphic, recently shared by Business Insider, gives you an idea of good places to go:

    Wooden structures, like most houses and smaller one story buildings, won’t do much good against fallout radiation, unfortunately. Is it better than nothing? Kind of, but Dillon recommends you move to a better location if possible. If you can dash to a more dense, protective shelter in about five minutes of exposure, go for it. If getting there would take longer, say up to 15 minutes of exposure, stay where you are for at least an hour, then make your move. A good portion of the intense fallout radiation will have subsided by then, reducing your exposure some.

    While you wait in your dense, thick-walled shelter, the EPA suggests you stay away from any doors or windows, take a shower or wipe down exposed parts of your body with a wet cloth, and ditch your now-contaminated clothing.

    Now that you have this information take a look at your current situation. Look at where you live, where you work and the places that you go on a regular basis. Should you receive word that a fallout is occurring do you know where to hide?

      fallout is dust that comes from the sky which went up there when a nuke destroyed a city

      that is the basics of it

      radioactive rain will fall for decades poisoning the ground and the well water.

      that radiation will get into your body through the water you drink, food you eat, and your organs will be slowly destroyed by that radiation in the form of cancer, tumors, or just plain organ failure

      there will be no medical treatments and zero chance of recovery technologically

      billions will die in the first twenty years, most dying in the years just after the fallout begins

      the best we can hope for in a nuclear war is an EMP war, even that will be bad, but better then a blast the cities to dust

      this is not a video game or a cool movie, this will be- use your last couple of bullets to kill your own family to end their suffering bad.
