How to survive a nuclear holocaust:
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/irwi ... orism.htmlHow to survive the 10-20min after cheat sheet list:
1: Don’t look at the light flash (temporary or permanent blindness)
2: If very close to the blast you should duck and cover for the initial effects.
3: Get away from the initial fallout from the mushroom cloud. You only have 10-20 min to do this! If you cannot, then get to an underground shelter or get on the 10th floor or higher.
4: If you can get away do so by moving downwind (if you know the source of blast) or move crosswind (perpendicular to the wind) for 1.2 miles (away from area with building damage).
5: Try to keep skin, mouth, nose covered if it doesn’t impede evacuation or sheltering.
6: Decontaminate as soon as possible (clothing, medical, etc)
7: Stay sheltered for 48-72 hours minimum (until you are cleared to go via radio or whatever you have)
He says downwind, but I *think* he means upwind. Guess it depends on your location and where the blast is. Moving downwind WITH the fallout doesn't make much sense to me--cross-wind would be where it's at for that.
