Guam Homeland Security: ‘Do Not Look At The Flash Or Fireball’
dailycaller.com ^ | 08/11/2017

Posted on 08/11/2017 7:31:48 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Guam Homeland Security issued a new fact sheet Friday, which the agency says will help residents prepare for an imminent missile threat.

The information was released following this week's threat by North Korea to launch a missile attack against Guam.

The advice includes tips such as: "Do not look at the flash or fireball – It can blind you" and "Take cover behind anything that might offer protection."

“Lie flat on the ground and cover your head. If the explosion is some distance away, it could take 30 seconds or more for the blast wave to hit,” the sheet states.

Homeland Security says residents should prepare an emergency supply kit and a family emergency plan. During an imminent missile threat, authorities recommend taking cover as quickly as possible under a concrete structure or below ground after an attack warning is issued.

People should also avoid going outside for at least 24 hours to avoid any possible radioactive material, unless otherwise told by authorities.

If possible, take a shower with lots of soap and water, shampoo but avoid using conditioner that will bind to any radioactive material in your hair, the fact sheet states.

After the explosion, people are encouraged to keep an eye and an ear out for official information so they know where to go, what to do and places to avoid.

My bottles of conditioner are labelled “will bind to radioactive particles”, and “will not bind to radioactive particles.”

But yes, let’s take showers with water that is likely contaminated. Smart, real smart.

If someone is threatening me with a weapon, I don’t call 911 for an EMS unit or buy band-aids.
I shoot the SOB.

YES. Your cardboard and corrugated tin shanty will provide adequate protection from the blast.

It’s good advice. It’d be very sad if somebody survived the nuclear blast only to get killed by the hair conditioner when taking a shower in the aftermath.

Reminds me of the old military joke circa 1960's

In Case of Nuclear Attack:

Step 1. Immediately drop to the ground and put your head between your knees.

Step 2. Kiss your a** goodbye.

After the flash, just remember: There’s no more size restrictions and screw the limit.

Actually, It is exactly right. The water right after a blast will not be contaminated. During the first 24 hours to 10 days it is extremely important to stay inside. It is a half life thing, The majority of radioactive particle dissipate quickly, The next marker is seven months.

On August 22 send your used eclipse glasses to Guam.

Looks like Kim finally lit it off. Will someone turn up "The End of the World as We Know It"? I can't hear it over "The Future's so Bright I Gotta Wear Shades".
