If a nuclear bomb ... were aimed at Southern California, it might be targeted at the densest population pocket — Los Angeles, Levin said. Nearly all of the people living within nine blocks of the explosion would likely die in the blast.
If the bomb were bigger, as is likely in a North Korea scenario, more would die.
In Ventura County, people might have a narrow window of time, maybe 10 minutes, to find a building for shelter before the risk of fallout became deadly. They should retreat into the nearest biggest building and stay there, Levin said.
...
Basements are best but are nearly nonexistent in Ventura County. Instead, people should go to the center of a building as far from outdoors as possible.
...
Radiation levels would likely decrease every seven hours all the way to 10 percent of the previous level, Levin said. If a bomb the size of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima weapons were used, people might be able to leave shelters in two to four days.
...They should keep up with disaster news through TVs, cellphones and battery- or crank-powered radios.
The county response plan offers exhausting detail. Wash hair with shampoo only because conditioner may cause radiation to bind into hair. People should bring pets to a shelter and should dust or wash them free of any radioactive particles while wearing a face mask.
...
Levin challenged the premise that if there were an attack, preparedness wouldn't matter because everyone would be dead.
"The original death toll comes from the blast itself, the explosion, but after that the deaths are associated with fallout," he said. "And we could take a great percentage of those out of the question if people would just 'get inside, stay inside and stay tuned.' "

Get hot dogs and marshmallows?
I wonder how much they paid for that?
Does it have anything to do with putting your head between your legs and puckering?
I think the term is “duck and cover”.
Reflect on your white privilage.
Sit in your most comfortable chair. Lean forward. Grab your ankles and stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. If you have time.
If Ventura County is hit it’s because Kim was aiming at Spokane.
Bert The Turtle, school these people asap!
Why don’t they just put up a few signs that prohibit detonating nuclear devices within the city limits? It works for handguns after all.
ROFL!!
POST OF THE THREAD!!!! If not the day!
Put on vagina hat, go to computer and max out credit cards with donations to Planned Parenthood and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Survival was once so simple. Cuban Missile Crisis = schools in Texas endured a Drill in what seemed to be every other week. Strange drill, that. Out in the hall, lined up, on your knees, facing the wall, with hands on the back of head and neck. Same exact drill for tornadoes. Who knew? Fortunately, only the tornado drill was ever needed. The other, never tested for “truth in advertising”.
The City Of Hiroshima After The Blast.
One Bomb. One Entire City Gone.
I doubt many folks in Hiroshima said “Wazzat?” when the bomb went off.
Oh, and the libtard press and Democrats will holler not to retaliate because of the women and children there would be killed.
They probably said “Nan desuka??”
