Remember that FALSE incoming Missile Alert in Hawaii a few years back. I remember folk’s saying and TV showing the following. (Remember this all is educational/entertainment)
People had no idea what to do.
- many got in their car with the intent to pick up their kids and drive home, those with no kids tried to drive home with many getting stuck in traffic.
- Others sat and watched the news or called to talk to someone while looking out there window.
Here is probably what they should have done the following since a missile could hit in 5 to 15 minutes.
- Go to the lowest level in your home or building you are currently in with no windows. Being out side or in a vehicle near/during nuclear detonation can easily cause you death, blindness, severe burns instantly or a slow death over a several weeks. If you are within a few miles of the blast area.
- stay inside until local Emergency Services advise you to do otherwise. They will put out on the radio or in person when it is safe in your area to go outside and where to go. Hopefully your shelter area has one to two weeks food and water supplies as well as emergency sewage (RR) for the number of folks also in your shelter.
- if someone comes in after the blast have them take off their outer clothes, shoes and brush out their hair before bring allowed to come in, to reduce the chance of bringing in radioactive dust and contaminating those in the shelter area.
Remember this is educational and entertainment material only. Always follow your EMS.
