The safest place in your home during an radiation emergency is a centrally located room or basement. This area should have as few windows as possible. The further your shelter is from windows, the safer you will be.

Where is the safest place in a nuclear war?

Antarctica. Antarctica could be the safest place to go in the event of nuclear war because the Antarctic Treaty banned all detonation of nuclear weapons there. It is also far from any major targets.

Where do you go during a nuclear attack?

"You'd want to go in the direction away from the wind," Redlener said, adding: "Get as far away as you can in the next 10 to 15 minutes, and then immediately seek shelter before the radiation cloud descends." The best shelters are buildings like schools or offices with few to no windows and a basement for camping out.

How far from a nuclear blast is safe?

Heat is the prime concern for those closer to a nuclear blast, with people up to 6.8 miles away suffering first-degree burns and third-degree burns hitting anyone up to 5 miles away. You've got to consider the immense thermal radiation too, which travels at the speed of light.

What city is most likely to be nuked?

Dr. Redlener identified six cities that have the greatest likelihood of being attacked: New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Houston.

What US cities would get nuked?

The cities that would most likely be attacked are Washington, New York City and Los Angeles. Using a van or SUV, the device could easily be delivered to the heart of a city and detonated. The effects and response planning from a nuclear blast are determined using statics from Washington, the most likely target.

How do I prepare my house for a nuclear attack?

Make sure you have an Emergency Supply Kit for places you frequent and might have to stay for 24 hours. It should include bottled water, packaged foods, emergency medicines, a hand-crank or battery- powered radio to get information in case power is out, a flashlight, and extra batteries for essential items.

How do you prepare for a nuclear attack at home?

Stay indoors for at least 72 hours. Let that nuclear material rain back down to earth and expend its energy. If you can stay indoors for the next two weeks or longer, definitely do so. Let the radioactive material decay.

How far does radiation travel?

Detonating nuclear weapons above ground sends radioactive materials as high as 50 miles into the atmosphere. Large particles fall to the ground near the explosion-site, but lighter particles and gases travel into the upper atmosphere.

How do you protect yourself from nuclear radiation?

Cover your mouth and nose with a face mask or other material (such as a scarf or handkerchief) until the fallout cloud has passed. Shut off ventilation systems and seal doors or windows until the fallout cloud has passed.
