How to Protect Yourself From Radiation

The world changed when we saw the brutality of the Russian invaders in Ukraine. If you asked anyone ten years ago about the possibility of a nuclear weapon being used, people would laugh in your face and think you’re not well in the head. Now, more and more people, especially in Ukraine and Europe, are starting to learn how to save themselves from the consequences of a potential nuclear disaster.

Let’s hope that no one will ever need this information, but knowledge is power, so just in case, here’s what you do.

First things first

1) If you are indoors, stay there. If not, take cover as soon as possible. Radioactive material settles on walls, roofs, and the ground. Try to have as little contact with the outside world as possible.

2) If you have any pets, keep them inside. Don’t let them frolic around in the radioactive meadow.

3) Close doors and windows, and seal all cracks with damp cloths.

4) Make sure you have a supply of food for several days. Pack everything in airtight bags and hide it in the refrigerator or a cold place.

5) Prepare a respirator, face mask, or cotton gauze bandage to protect the lungs.

6) Sit tight and wait for further instructions from the State Emergency Service, law enforcement officers, or other authorities. Do not go outside unless you really-REALLY have no other choice.
