Go to the basement or middle of the building. Stay away from the outer walls and roof. Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household. Children under two years old, people who have trouble breathing, and those who are unable to remove masks on their own should not wear them.

...

Stay inside for 24 hours unless local authorities provide other instructions. Continue to practice social distancing by wearing a mask and by keeping a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who not part of your household.

...

If warned of an imminent attack, immediately get inside the nearest building and move away from windows. This will help provide protection from the blast, heat, and radiation of the detonation.

• When you have reached a safe place, try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household. Children under two years old, people who have trouble breathing, and those who are unable to remove masks on their own should not wear them.

Step one, be on the other side of the globe when the bomb goes off.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Holy crap, this is real! I thought you were just writing a clever satire!

[SoCal Pubbie]

All kidding aside, there was a Japanese man who survived BOTH atomic bombs at the end of WWII.

[GingisK]

That is true; however, both of those were mere pip-squeaks compared to what ICBMs carry.

As we used to say in the Army:

1. Drop your pants
2. Bend over
3. stick your head between your legs
4. Kiss your a** goodbye

U.S. Army Basic Training, early 1980s:

1. See the flash.
2. Turn your back towards the flash.
3. Bend over at the waist.
4. Kiss your ass good bye.

And suffer the after effects until you beg to die. Me, I just want it to be quick!

[cll]

Wow, 30 seconds apart.

[GingisK]

It seems that you are sure you will get advanced warning. The glitch in Hawaii indicates that the system is twitchy. Recent events indicate the US government doesn't care about its citizens.

So, are you feeling lucky?

[GingisK]

Yeah, ground zero or bust.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you're sheltering with people who are not a part of your household.

These two rules make absolutely no sense.

[The Antiyuppie]

Why worry about ANy of this when climate change will wipe us out in nine years anyway?

[SoCal Pubbie]

True, but not all nuclear weapons are the Czar Bomba either.

[bitt]

thanks, Obama and Biden!

[windsorknot]

Yes. Another post: Ground zero is your friend. It certainly applies if your within the radius of the bomb blast.

[Billthedrill]

These two rules make absolutely no sense.

They can't let go. Sure sign of a cult.

...try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household.

Is this just crap left over from china virus?

[M Kehoe]

If the balloon goes up
And you are close by
Tuck your head between your legs
And kiss your ass goodbye

It is well known that Russia does not have the precision terminal guidance that characterize our weapons. They will use 20-50 megaton yield weapons routinely.
