New Public Service Announcement (PSA) in case of nuclear attack

[Rainger99]

New York City just issued a PSA in the event of a nuclear attack. The primary points are

1. Get inside
2. Stay inside
3. Stay Tuned (to news)

City offers tips for aftermath of nuclear blast (https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2022/07/11/city-offers-tips-for-aftermath-of-nuclear-blast)

How effective will this be?

I remember going thru this scenario in the 50’s/60 same time we adopted under “god” in the pledge of allegiance and changed money to in “god we trust”. If the initial blast doesn't get you the radiation will. If your god is merciful death will be quick but we all know he Doesnt operate that way!

[Tvflguy]

I’d guess for us folks in The Villages, it would be “go to your nearest Cosco”. Wait, WHAT?

Nooooooo!

[Stu from NYC]

In school in NYC in the 50's and 60's they had us hide under our desk.

thinking back what were they thinking?

What!?

Nothing about implementing Survival Drill #2?

the scary part is that someone actually got paid to come up with that plan

To start with what was posted:

GET INSIDE
- Fast
- Get into a building
- Move away from windows
STAY INSIDE
- Shut doors and windows
- Go to the middle of the building
- Get Clean Immediately
- Remove clothing and shower with soap or shampoo
STAY TUNED
- FollowMedia
- Sign up for Notify NYC
- Officials will send wireless emergency alerts (WEAs)


So, I see lots of "cheeky" comments. It is a news station, "slow news day?", it is good advice. Will it save everyone - nope. Will it save anyone - "maybe". And yes, I know, if anyone suggest that anyone should do anything that is not 100% effective, well, there is no point to it, is there?

If they do nothing they are criticized, if they do anything they are criticized.

I think we could shorten any post about NY or CA into "New York" or "California" period, and I am sure there would still be plenty of posts talking about what is wrong there.

- get clean immediately how?
- remove clothing and shower with soap or shampoo no water pressure
stay tuned
- followmedia they're gone
- sign up for notify nyc it's gone
- officials will send wireless emergency alerts (weas) dead officials send no alerts

I can't help it. I have bought a steelmaster desk. The one the teacher had.
If, my back was not such a mess I would duck and cover.

Perhaps, go down my basement but I don't have one.

Stick you head between your legs and kiss your goodbye?

If, you look you will find ads suggesting you send money. Remember Harri Kirshchner? Money, in god we trust, before the 50s and 60s we trusted in gold and silver.

[MrChip72]

I grew up near some nuclear reactors so I'm going by a different list.

1. Take iodine (Potassium Iodide) tablets immediately. Always keep some on hand just in case.
2. Get out of the city ASAP

[Caymus]

What is more dangerous?

1) Nuclear Attack
2) Walking the city streets

[MartinSE]

What is more dangerous?

1) Nuclear Attack
2) Walking the city streets

rather than a snarky one liner, I will take your question seriously.

If you mean, on any given day, then streets are a big winner, since it has been a while since any Nuke was used in a war.

But, in absolute terms, Nukes have the ability to insure total annihilation of the human race.

So, in absolute magnitude Nukes win, in terms of practical impacts on our daily lives, streets have a bigger impact.

But, let's not forget there is a crazy in power with nukes threatening to use them frequently. We even had one here say, "Why have nukes if we don't use them" (paraphrased). So. maybe they are a realistic concern to everyone...

The NYC emergency management has added to the procedure....no burning, no looting and no murdering. UNDER PENALTY OF LAW

LYING OFFICIALS KNOW THAT IF WAR PROCEEDS TO THE CITIES IT'S ALL OVER. NYC PROBABLY HAS BEEN TARGETED FOR AT LEAST TEN WARHEADS. JUST BOUNCING THE RUBBLE. NO WAY TO PROVE THIS BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE USA HAS DUSTED OFF THEIR WAR GAMES SCENARIOS FOR A PREEMPTIVE IST STRIKE.

At least most of us are at the tail end of our lives so maybe if it comes to that incineration might be a little better than a long slow cancer ridden stay in hospice. NOW how is that for really making this stream even more morbid and depressing than it already is??

Well if Russia is consistently proving that expansion of the Putin “empire” is their intent………maybe Alaska is part of mother Russia also???

LOL - just like COVID

[Wyseguy]

This is a joke, right? Please be a joke. Pretty please.

No Joke. Add this to the two other plans that have been drawn up, what to do if the nuclear plant is breached and their defense against dirty bombs.
For the power plant, They have been giving us potassium iodine tablets for a few years now (This is in NY about 30 miles from NYC.).
NYC also has many ways to tell if a dirty bomb is travelling throughout the streets.in the city. Frightening stuff, but it would be more frightening if we did not have plans.

The comment "Why have nukes if we don't use them" that was reported by Joe Scarborough as third hand information has been discredited.

Does that go for everyone?

[Wyseguy]

Of course it depends if the burning, looting and murdering is mostly peaceful. Then it is OK.

[Wyseguy]

They weren’t…and they’re still not.

I also was in school in NYC. They had us go along the walls in the room, crouch down and cover our heads. Thank God all the siren was ever used for was to let everyone know it was noon.

[Sherry8bal]

Only in New York, a failing, corrupt city, would you see the 325,000 city employees waste even more money on this nonsense video. Someone needs to tell them that "in case of a nuclear attack", they will be vaporized instead of having the time to stay inside. Why would anyone bother to live in such a corrupt city wrought with crime and infestation?

Maybe you should tell them, since you seem to know more than the people doing the nuke war gaming.

correct. The agency is called n.e.s.t. They travel in normal everyday trucks and vehicles to search for nuclear threats in our cities in the sky, on the land and from the air.
It's all in this book

There seems to be about 12 million people that disagree with you, and I expect are glad you don't live there.

Personally I have no interest in living in NYC, but I appreciate some people do.
