A World War 3 event preceded by a nuclear attack is a highly probable event, especially with the ongoing tension between nuclear capable countries. In a case of a nuclear strike, below are some of the most helpful tips to remember that could increase survival rate.
As Russia, China, North Korea, and the United States continue to display their superiority, their citizens and nearby small countries are on constant watch for a potential nuclear event. Fearful of another Nagasaki or Hiroshima incident, experts are conveying new survival tips.
A renowned expert on nuclear disaster, Brooke Buddemeier, stated that local governments had abandoned mass public shelters that were built during the Cold War. Thus, making it a less safe zone for a retreating public.
Moreover, the expert also pointed out that the idea of running for the hills is not the best move to take. Seeking out for a radiation-free air is impossible, especially with the lack of proper path towards such destination.
Survivors of an immediate nuclear strike should rather seek for cover. A house basement is a rather safer place than being in a car. It is highly recommended that you stay inside for at least 24 hours.
"Go as far below ground as possible or in the center of a tall building. The goal is to put as many walls and as much concrete, brick, and soil between you and the radioactive material outside," NBC News quoted FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security as saying.
Apart from knowing what to do in case of nuclear attack, it is also good to note on the type of warning signs prior to a strike. The most common types would be the strategic and tactical, according to Oism.
The former is based on observable enemy actions. These would normally be released when an army is advancing along with a threat of massive nuclear destruction. It would normally be broadcasted or promulgated by on almost every news platform over a period of days.
The tactical warning, on the other hand, would be received minutes after a nuclear weapon has been launched against a country. In the US, following a thorough evaluation of the intercepted data, attack warnings will then be transmitted to all communities.
Knowing these facts about a nuclear attack is essential for survival. With the tension between US, Russia, China, and North Korea, a World War 3 would somehow be part of the equation.
