HOW TO SURVIVE A NUCLEAR ATTACK: HOW TO STAY SAFE AND STEPS FOR PREPARATION

Life

All the world wars and the Cold war generations ago experienced do not show us the end of insecurity and violent battles between nations come to an end. We may want to believe so, but as long as some countries continue to produce and distribute nuclear weapons we are nowhere near the safe zone. In fact, we may be at risk more than we think we are. And also, countries are far from long-lasting peace with each other, so we need to plan ahead and not focus on the fear of potential nuclear attack, but instead think pragmatically and plan how to survive such a threat.

We must point out that today’s nuclear weapons are hundred, even thousand, times more powerful than those dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This means that those in imminent proximity may not stand a chance, while those away from the big cities and in politically insignificant territories have the chance of protecting themselves from the nuclear fallout.

So, in this article we will cover the vital information on how to survive a nuclear attack. We hope this information would never be applied in the future, but it’s best to know it and be prepared than not.

STEPS ON PREPARING FOR A NUCLEAR ATTACK

FOOD

Your first step in the preparation stage is to store enough food for at least 48 hours. This is the minimum, so if you have more food, for up to a week, then at least your mind will be at peace. Otherwise, it may be risky and dangerous to go out and search for food several hours after the attack. If you can remain longer in your shelter with food, then your chances for survival are bigger.

Make sure you have plenty of non-perishable food. The list is long but here are the basic and most important:

Wheat and rice
Sugar
Canned food
Dried food
Freeze-dried food
Pasta

Along with this food, make sure you can open them and consume them. For example, if you have canned food, prepare a can opener. If you have dried food it will need warm water to render it edible. You may have to store a small compact stove to boil water for your dried and freeze-dried foods.

We have a great article about how to make an emergency food storage and how to keep the food fresh for a long time.
