With tensions rising among nuclear powers, the possibility of a nuclear blast is becoming more real. Although it’s terrifying to think about, it’s important to be prepared in case an unstable leader makes a terrible decision.
Disaster experts are now sharing advice on what to do in case of a bomb explosion. They emphasize that the first few minutes and hours after the incident are crucial in determining one’s survival. The number of casualties, on the other hand, depends on the size of the weapon, the location of the detonation, and the number of people who are exposed to the blast. However, a single nuclear weapon has the potential to cause hundreds of thousands of immediate deaths in a major city.
It is reported that both Russia and China have nuclear arsenals that are capable of striking almost anywhere on the planet. A nuclear blast can pose several dangers, such as the blinding brightness, the force of the blast wave, the radiation that can damage cells, the fire and heat causing injury and destruction, the electromagnetic pulse that can knock out electronics, and the fallout, which is the radioactive dirt and debris raining down.
If a nuclear bomb were headed toward the US from Russia, and if residents were immediately warned of the attack, it’s estimated they would have about 30 minutes or less to shelter. You should immediately cover your eyes to make sure you aren’t temporarily blinded by the light.
In the event of a 1-megaton bomb explosion, people situated up to 13 miles (21 km) away on a clear day and up to 53 miles (85 km) away on a clear night could experience temporary blindness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends seeking cover behind anything that may offer protection. Additionally, they advise people to drop to the ground with their face down and tuck their hands under their body to protect themselves from flying debris and burning heat.
If a blast occurs, cover your nose and mouth with a scarf. Keep your mouth open to avoid ear damage. If in a vehicle, stop and duck down until safe. After a nuclear attack, leave the area quickly. You have about 15 minutes before fallout particles settle and cause radiation poisoning, which could be fatal.
The potential for radiation exposure decreases 55% an hour after an explosion and 80% after 24 hours, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, which is why it’s essential to find shelter as soon as possible.
Move away from fallen buildings and wind direction to find shelter after a blast. If no shelter found, go far away from the blast within 10-15 mins, then take shelter to avoid radiation.
Outdoor areas, vehicles, and mobile homes are not adequate shelter, the US government stresses. Instead, go to brick or concrete buildings like schools or offices with few to no windows, and ideally a basement for camping out. If there aren’t sturdy buildings around, still try to get indoors and away from windows.
If you take cover in a multistory building, try to stay in the center of it, especially if it has windows, and steer clear of the top and bottom floors. Shock waves can shatter windows up to 10 miles (16 km) away from an explosion, which is why it’s important to stay away from windows.
Remove all your contaminated clothing as soon as possible if you were outside during the blast or after the fallout arrived. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and wipe the exposed skin clean, but do not use disinfectant wipes on your skin.
CDC recommends sealing contaminated clothing and tissues in a plastic bag after an explosion. Shower with warm water and gentle soap if you were outside. Scrubbing too hard can break your skin.
Cover any cuts or abrasions while rinsing, and if washing isn’t possible, use a clean wet cloth to wipe any exposed skin or hair. Using things like conditioner, body lotion, or face cream after exposure to a nuclear blast can reportedly bind the products to radioactive particles and trap them in your skin and hair.
It’s safe to eat from sealed containers like packages, bottles, or cans, as well as things that were in sealed places like your pantry or refrigerator, but the CDC recommends wiping off containers, cookware, counters, and utensils first.
You certainly shouldn’t eat anything left uncovered, such as fruits or veggies from a garden, because of their exposure to fallout. Until you’re told to go outside, you should stay in your shelter for at least 24 hours so that the risk of contamination can sufficiently decrease.
James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Revelations 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
