What to do if a nuclear bomb falls on your city? Surely nothing, because you will be dead. But if you survive…

We live in unthinkable times just a few months ago. The nuclear threat It seemed like a thing of the past, but a former head of Russian spies in the Cold War turned government president has revived it again.

Just in case, new york city hall has covered their backs, and posted a video where he explains the three steps that must be carried out to survive a nuclear attack.

These are three simple tips to minimize risks, but do not prevent exposure to nuclear radiation, which can cause direct death, or all kinds of cancers in years to come. This is the video:

At no time does the New York City Council show images of the city destroyed or attacked: it would have caused alarm. The images in the video are generic shots of the city,

The presenter also does not want to get wet on what has produced the nuclear attack, so close the topic with a: “Don’t ask me how or why, but we’ve taken the hit“.

And so we come to what interests us: how to survive a nuclear attack, in three easy and comfortable steps.

First of all, if he catches you on the street or in the car, you must run inside a building, since its walls will slow down (a little) the radiation. The car is not an option, on the contrary, it is almost worse than staying in the middle of the street, because it can either explode or facilitate the passage of radiation.

Once inside a building, you have to move away from the windows and close all the doors. Better go to a room without windows. You have to stand in the center of the room, and wait.

An additional tip that we add, is that the closer to the ground you are, the better. Car parks or basements are the best place to protect yourself from radiation, because the ground and earth slow it down quite a bit.

The third and final step is to connect to the Internet or the news, if the nuke hasn’t killed everything, and follow the instructions of the emergency services. And above all, do not leave the house until they give permission.

These actions will not save you from radiation, but they will reduce it as much as possible. Hopefully we never have to put them into practice…
