In the event of a nuclear strike, bug out or bug in?

I live very close to a major NATO/NORAD target. My house is brick walled, and I have a standard depth basement, though there is nowhere that is covered in concrete in the basement. Assuming a 20 minute warning time, is it better to hop in my car and drive out of town asap, or is it better to preload my basement and make it as comfy as possible. Alternatively I could seek shelter in the basement of an still used airplane hangar that was built in the 60s and likely with some cold war era shelter uses in mind, though I'm unfamiliar with the hangar's layout and it is closer to the likely ground zero.

    Also, I have a pretty direct route out of town on sideroads. I live near the outskirts of town here so traffic is unlikely to be a problem, though I've never seen nuclear war traffic so Idk for sure what that would be like.

      Bro the type of missile that would be used to strike the site near my house would have to be on an ICBM so it's probs a lot more powerful than the ones dropped on our Japanese friends back in the 40s. I'd be pretty worried about my chances, especially as there aren't any tall buildings or hills between my place and the logical ground zero.

            >nukemap explosion radius are vastly exaggerated since they don't take terrain into account
            I live in the Austrian Alps near Innsbruck with the next NATO base in Germany being about 100 km away, but there's several 3,000 m high mountain ranges blocking everything.
            Since we're formally "neutral" (and thus have no NATO presence in our country) and don't have nukes of our own obviously, I don't think we'll be a direct target for Russia. Maybe they'll hit Vienna out of spite, but that's 600 km away (and frick the Viennese anyway) and I can't imagine they'll waste a nuke on Innsbruck directly with its 100,000 pop.
            How fricked am I?
            Considering the above I don't think I'll get to experience global thermonuclear war in all its glory firsthand but rather fall victim to the countless post-war problems like starvation, societal breakdown etc. Also I guess while not being killed in a blast directly the problem with mountains is that clouds tend to accumulate on them so I guess we'll suffer more radiation than plain regions in the weeks following the exchange?
            Also IF vatniks decide to nuke Innsbruck I guess I'm fricked as the Inn valley is pretty much a giant funnel which will make the blast wave spread across the whole valley?

        Yeah fricking right. Well, what do you consider "normal"? Because if you consider right now to be "normal", it would take decades for humanity to regain that. The BIGGEST thing you'd lose would be the power grid. Millions of miles of electrical cables, substations, transformers, nuclear power plants, all of that kind of shit damaged if not destroyed. You'd be back to the stone-age for anything electrical that didn't run on diesel or gas. The water network would also be severely damaged or contaminated, and as cleaning this water requires power, good luck having your piping repaired and your water cleaned automatically. You'd likely be having to boil and purifying your own water for years. Then there's the situation with food and medical supplies. The entire supply chain will shut down literally overnight. Trucks will no longer deliver supplies, factories will no longer be churning those supplies out, & pretty much everything that isn't essential would be left alone and never reopened. Everyones focus would be on survival, and therefore anything not necessary to survival would be eliminated.

        And finally, medicine. If you're on prescriptions, good luck getting refills for them unless you arm yourself with a gun and go down to the local Walgreens and take everything you can. I'm on 7 different types of prescriptions and although I can live without them, my life would be absolutely miserable. It's a tossup on whether or not I'd just blast my brains out with a shotgun or try and actually survive. I'd probably try survival for awhile until things got too much. As I'm physically disabled from a spinal injury and living at home, I'd do everything in my power to help and protect my parents, but once I lost them, which would probably be fairly quickly due to their own medical needs, I probably would follow suit after.

          And bear in mind that the replacement parts for the power stations are NOT kept in an EMP container.
          You'd need to machine the parts to put the power back on so you can machine the parts to put the power back on.
          And how far do you think the fires will get with no fire trucks working?
          How long do you think it'll take for the shops to start getting stocked again when all the roads are blocked with miles of stalled cars and no trucks made later than the 70's working?

          And consider on one side, the crowds deciding it's smash and grab time, and on the other hand, every redneck farmer and holy roller preacher deciding it's time to round up anyone with hair past their ears and have a good old giggity lynching. If you're not in a mob you're pretty much fricked when one side or the other comes knocking on your shelter door.

            I can't lift heavy stuff without risking extreme bouts of muscle spasms & disk slipping that requires a visit to a chiropractor. And either of those can happen from something as small as picking a piece of clothes off the floor, proper form or not. It's miserable. If a nuclear war happens & my city gets hit and I don't die in the initial blast I'm just offing myself. I have no desire to live in my disabled state in a world where I would just be sucking up valuable resources that could go to someone healthier.

          You're not wrong--except for the map, which has been practically a meme on nu/k/e threads for years.

          It is very possible for things to end up that bad. It's a big question mark, though. How many cities get nuked? How badly do the 3 domestic power grids get hit? How badly does the economy get trashed, and how effective are efforts to re-establish it?

          At a minimum, expect a major recession due to panic. At a maximum, civilization largely collapses. The reality would be somewhere in between. And the devil is very much in the details, making it extremely difficult to predict the effects on anything beyond your local environment in the immediate aftermath of an exchange.

              Look up the Rule of 7s. After 7x7 hours (2 days) fallout is at 1% of its initial strength. Unless you're in a bunker right next to ground zero, it should be safe to come out for a few minutes a day. However, it won't be safe to *stay* outside until 7x7x7 hours (just over 2 weeks), at which point the fallout should be at 0.1% strength.

          I think it would heavily depend on how many nooks got through and how much of the command and control still exist at the Federal level and the state level. If a majority of Congress still exist along with at least 5 Supreme Court member the President and a majority of the state govenors we as a nation could probably start getting enough assets up and run at least to keep people fed, electricity running and hospitals functioning. Again depending on the nuke type and the amount we will br losing a largr chunk of our populaces which is a both a good and bad thing as we wont have those assets but we wont need to care for those assets also.

    Known vs unknown. You know where your basement is, you know it's under ground, so unless the big one pops on top of you you'll be shielded from the blast by the dirt surrounding the concrete walls, and if you can seal it up and have provisions for a couple weeks (and a poop bucket I guess lol) you'll make it.

    You get in your car and let's say there isn't any traffic, anything could happen. An 18-wheeler knocked over a power line blocking the road, you get a tire blowout, your car decides that's the exact moment a sensor fails and it goes into limp mode, some drunk moron could hit you, Black folk, etc. Too many risk factors. If it weren't for the basement I'd bug out, but since you have one I'd bug in

    Standard nbc. Unless you're in the blast zone isolate in the most interior room of the lowest point you can get for at least 48 hours until the most reactive isotopes have reduced. There will still be quite a few radioactive species, but these will be slower decay ones and short term exposure won't significantly harm you. If everyone gets on the road with only 20 minutes to spare you will have virtually zero radioactive protection inside your car and you'll get to just sit in fallout once that bomb bursts because you'll be stuck in traffic. If you have an air purifier, run it. If you have time, cover any window slots to prevent fallout from collecting in any window wells. Sit tight.
    If you're in the blast zone, you can try to flee, but it'll be better to reach the most reinforced structure you can and get inside. Depends on the type of nuke. If it's a cobalt bomb, well, you're fricked. Might as well try to run, but you're super fricked.

    Am I going to make it? I live in the East Bay, 30 miles from downtown SF.

    I work from home and have an internal office with plastic sheeting, weather tape, 4 weeks of food and water, a full face respirator and filter, coveralls, pistols, a hunting rifle, a MOLLE 2 backpack, a VHS/UHS radio and a pretty good antenna, a lantern and 4 weeks of slow-burning candles, a full first aid kit, and a full set of campaign gear.

    In the event of a nuke attack, chemical attack, infrastructure (power or electric) attack, or otherwise, I plan to tape myself up in my office and remain in place for 2 weeks, monitoring the VHS/UHS airwaves for information. If I hear anything and there's power at the start of week 3, I'll get my pack, get my guns, put on my respirator, head outside, and just travel east.

    Hmmmm... This got me thinking for awhile. Would shipping containers work in surviving nuclear blast just like it works in mitigating earthquake damages? Of course I'm assuming you're not in ground zero but well within blast radius.

      I mean it's better than nothing I guess. I'd rather be underground or in a big concrete structure though, especially long term. I guess if you dove inside one to avoid the flash and the shockwave it might save your life, but you're gonna have to immediately find better shelter before the fallout starts coming down in 10-15 minutes.

              The initial ball of plasma is going to be pretty opaque to beta particles.
              If you're getting enough beta for it to be an issue the gamma and the neutron flux are going to kill you anyway.

              Beta protection only really matters for fallout, not for the initial blast.

      Are there nukes at the airfield (Barksdale/whiteman/Minot), nuclear command aircraft (Tinker/Andrews), or a major STRATCOM installation (Offut)? If so, then yes, you're going to have a bad day. Probably 2-3 groundbursts, so you'll get lots of fallout.

      The primary threat is alpha/beta, which can only hurt you if you ingest them; seal up your basement to make it as airtight as possible, with some way of getting fresh air from upstairs (preferably passing it through a HEPA filter first).

      The next threat is gamma. Most gamma is prompt (generated in the explosion). I've seen wildly-different estimates as to the amount of gamma in fallout; it might or might not be a serious threat. You can build an effective gamma shelter inside your basement. Think of it like a pillow fort, but with lots of weight (mass blocks radiation). You need probably 3' of dirt, primarily overhead, against the basement wall (which is obviously more than 3' of protection). Think of a low shelter, something you crawl into, covered with sandbags or plastic tubs or even cardboard boxes full of packed dirt. You need to stay in there for at least the first 48 hours (might take a bedpan with you). After that, you can come out for a few minutes a day. After two weeks, the danger should be mostly gone in most places; however, I'm not entirely certain when it comes to something so close to a multiple-warhead groundburst. The long-term threat is the same as for everybody else: where are you going to get food, water, medicine, sanitation, etc.?

      If you haven't seen it, here's a primer that I wrote for /k/ several years ago, based heavily on OPpenheimer's advice.

    You really don't want to be outside when fallout starts coming down. Bug in for a few days, then clear fallout off of your roof and around your house after that, discarding outer layers that are contaminated. If there's a lot of fallout around you'll get a dose, but the dose goes down dramatically as time goes one. Protection from rads is all about time, distance, and shielding, and the biggest danger to you is ingesting alpha emitters.

    Keep canned food, water, and iodine pills in your basement. Keep duct tape on hand and duct tape around all windows and doors before going into basement. Keep plenty of booze to get drunk, because why not? Also keep a few five-gallon buckets filled about a quarter of the way with bleach to shit and piss in. I would stay in the basement for a good week even if the blast didn't damage my house. Might also want one of those hand-windable radios to see if there are any emergency radio broadcasts in the days following the strike. Also keep a gun in case things are really bad after the strike, so you can just have a nice day rather than starve to death or slowly die of radiation sickness, which is a hell unlike any other.

    You're not the only one who will receive the notice, roads will be congested as frick full of disorganized panicking people. Much better to shelter in place. Close all the windows and try to close up any ventilation you have leading to the basement. Push a table up against a corner in your basement, put all the supplies you can gather underneath it, then pile as much shit on top and to the exposed sides of it as possible. Preferably solid things like books, bricks, or blocks of wood. Radiation does not travel through solid material well. Then just shelter under your table for several days. Oh, and if you have iodine, start taking it as soon as you get the warning. Remember that iodine needs to be taken BEFORE radiation exposure in order to be most effective.

    You do NOT want to be outside after like 10 minutes following the explosion. Radioactive particles and radiation start moving through the atmosphere after that.
    Ideally, you have a basement well-stocked with food and water, where you can block the airflow from outside with rubble or tape.
    Me, I live in an apartment. So my plan is grab my guns and go bag, haul ass in my car to a building with a basement 5 minutes away, and stay there for like a week (or at the bare minimum, 3 days). Then, layer up with masks and wraps, talk to survivors, drive to a safe area, and try to start my new life.

      You can drink water that has been exposed to radiation. What you don't want to drink is water that has radioactive material mixed in with it that you could ingest. So if you're in a fallout zone, I'd think any sort of natural water source will be contaminated with radioactive dust. Maybe it would be safe to use a normal filter on it after the standard 2 week waiting period for the fallout to become less harmful? In not sure. Stock up on clean water beforehand. You can even use your stocked water for additional shielding.

      iodine, bleach for biological pollutions, active coal filters for chemical. Or just keep like 2-3 litres of bottled water for each day on hand - thats like 4 1 gallon jugs.

Wont even have to boil it, unless its year old or something and dont have to worry about fallout if the bottles are sealed airtight by the manufacturer.

      Pumping stations and purification plants would be fricked. There's also a fair chance that pipes might be damaged or that the loss of pressure would result in sewage/storm water contaminating drinking water. Not to mention fallout.
      Some areas would still have tap water (most likely those areas with gravity-fed systems) but it would likely be unclean and heavily laden with fallout.

      Basically there are four things you need to deal with
      >Fallout
      The water itself won't be irradiated, it's the fallout suspended in it that's the problem and since fallout is essentially just radioactive dust you can get rid of it with any good water filter. Hell, you could probably make one yourself with several layers of clean cloth, coffee filters and a column of sand, I wouldn't risk it though. Just go down to a camping store and buy a backcountry water filter.
      Boiling, chemical treatment, UV treatment (steripen) won't do shit.
      >Bacteria
      Traditionally the main thing you need to worry about when camping or backpacking.
      Can be easily dealt with - filtration, boiling, chemical purification, UV treatment will all do the job.
      >Protozoa (giardia and cryptosporidium)
      Similar to bacteria but they're resistant to most forms of chemical treatment, some work but they may need hours to take effect. Bleach and iodine are both ineffective. Filters, boiling, UV all good.
      >Viruses
      Not normally a problem for campers outside the 3rd world but they would become much more common in a disaster situation.
      Too small for most water filters, they just slip through. Easily treated with boiling, UV treatment or chemical purification. Some companies such as MSR market "water purifiers" which supposedly have fine enough filters to capture viruses but I dunno how effective they are.

      Boiling requires a constant supply of fuel so I'd recommend a water filter (Sawyer Mini is probably the cheapest effective option) + either a steripen or some chemical treatment option.

      Oh and if you don't have access to tap water then groundwater (e.g. well water) would be your best bet, it should be protected from fallout. Surface water such as lakes or rivers will all be contaminated, as will rainwater at least for the first few weeks.
      I'd filter everything though, even groundwater.

      Any camping filter that's good enough to get rid of bacteria and protozoa will get rid of fallout, you don't need to wait 2 weeks. The fallout trapped in your water filter would presumably be enough to make it a radiation source though, don't keep it in your pocket or anything.
      Since you want to be staying indoors (and ideally underground) for the first few days to weeks post nooking it's good advice to stock up on clean water anyway. I've got a couple months supply for me, my wife, our pets but even a week or two would be better than nothing.

      there is a couple of hours gap time between the end of exchange and fallout depositing on the ground. during that time you're going to want to fill as many containers as you can with clean water, then keep them covered. as long as dust doesn't get into your water it will be safe to drink. remember, you only need to last for 2 weeks from the last blast before it's safe to go outside in normal clothing for an entire day. you're going to be able to go 2 weeks without food no problem (not saying it's going to be fun though), but you're going to start dying of thirst at around 3 days. civil defense guidelines recommend 15 gallons per person, that's probably more than you'll be able to ready if you SHTF and you're not prepared in advance. anything is better than nothing. if you can fill up 1 cooking pot per person and have each person drink it very slowly you'll be able to last 2 weeks.

        to be honest fallout is not the main concern in nuclear warfare. you're much more likely to die from photo-thermal radiation and blast effects like shockwave, fire, and building collapse.

        studies on hiroshima and nagasaki survivors found that the main risk of fallout is from ACUTE radiation poisoning. the japanese were obviously not aware of basic nuclear warfare precautions, so they wandered back to ground zero immediately after the blast to render aid to survivors. these first responders then came into contact with immense amounts of radiation, something like 1,000-500 R/hr. the human body can absorb about 350 R total before 50% of people will contract fatal radiation poisoning. the amount of radiation at ground zero is off the charts at time of explosion, then quickly decays to 100 R/hr after 1 day, then 10R/hr after 2 days. 10R/hr is dangerous, but not deadly if you're only sticking your head out of your shelter to grab food or water or something.

        japanese nuclear bomb survivors had only slightly higher rates of cancer (something like 1,000 cancer cases can be directly attributed to the bombings) and no increase in birth defects due to the way gamete biology works.

        this isn't to say you shouldn't take fallout precautions. you should create a "pillow fort" style shelter for everyone in your party, made out of whatever dense and thick materials you can find, and stay in that for as long as possible. at least 2 days and optimally 2 weeks. but as long as you don't do stupid shit like snort lines of radioactive dust or go outside to shoot tiktoks you're going to make it.

        radiation poisoning has obvious symptoms well before it progresses to fatality. you're going to get a bad sunburn, vomit, headaches, things like that. if you start noticing symptoms that is your indication to spend more time in your shelter. rotate responsibilities in your party so that everyone shares the cumulative radiation dose. and the longer you can wait the better.

      An average American home has plenty of water in the hot water heater and the toilet tanks (not the bowl). You can also drain the pipes to the lowest point and get a few gallons.

      You can use bleach to disinfect water.

      Water can be drawn from lakes if you go out the the middle and pump water from a few yards down. Toxins and trash either float or sink to the bottom.

      Depends entirely on where you live.
      Is it fed through an above-ground lake? Fill up as much as you can right after the initial exchange (won't be irradiated yet), but don't risk it if it's been an hour already. As other anons mentioned, you can get clean water from your toilet tank/boiler.
      If it's an underwater reservoir that gets filtered through rock it's probably safe to drink.
      But then, chances are high the water grid will be damaged with thousands of different leaks so there'll be no pressure in the pipes anyway.
      But as always, nuclear scenarios always assume the best conditions and you won't have those anyway. Either you miss the bunkee, or clean water, or closed ventilation or whatever. You gotta live with what you have. And comparable to dying of thirst drinking potentially unsafe water is preferrable. Just assume everything is contaminated and only make use of it if it is absolutely necessary and there's no other way.

        Frick all for sure. Nukes have been seen as such an unlikely threat for so long that I have zero doubt that any related research programs wouldn't fallen prey to crippling levels of graft, funding cutbacks ('peace dividends') and diversity initiatives.

        You dont think even tangential reaearch has been done for intercept vehicles? Frick I guess we just have to hope the fetal alcohol syndrome morons sold off or poorly maintained their Nook core.

    Russian nukes aren't real yall. They sold them all to China to buy yachts with. That entire meme of a country is held together by glue and popsicle sticks. Russians are moronic, the Orks from Warhammer are based on them. Wagggh

    Good chance you wouldn't get hit even if Russia fires all of its (still functioning) nooks. There are simply too many targets in both the US and Europe, and the capability to intercept missiles does exist, but it wouldn't be 100% obviously. US nook silos in the north Midwest are already good bait targets, and those would probably require multiple warheads to disable.

    June 2, 2008 – Christopher Ketcham – The Scott Horton Show – Episode 548
    >Freelance reporter Christopher Ketcham, author of a new piece called "The Last Roundup" for Radar magazine, discusses the "Continuity Of Government" (COG) plan to keep government operating after a national emergency such as a nuclear strike, effectively suspending the Constitution and turning the country into a fascist military dictatorship, the history of COG going back to the Cold War and it's partial implementation after 9/11, DHS's "Main Core" and other databases and lists of dissidents kept ready by the government, the measures in place for total police state after the next crisis, the pending collapse of America resulting from the suicide-pact with the military industrial complex

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_84
    >Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of United States citizens deemed to be "national security threats" in the event that the president declared a National Emergency. The plan was first revealed in detail in a major daily newspaper by reporter Alfonso Chardy in the July 5, 1987 edition of the Miami Herald. Possible reasons for such a roundup were reported to be widespread opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade Central America.[1][2][3] To combat what the government perceived as "subversive activities", the plan also authorized the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Core
    >Main Core is an alleged American government database containing information on those believed to be threats to national security.[1]

    I live 4.5 miles from a italian airforce base, no NATO. Should i go on a vacation to australia/argentina if war starts?
    Nuke maps with a 500kt bomb say im in the middle of the thermal radiation radius, but out of the main blast radius.
    Its just a little heat isnt it? Whats the survival rate for it.
    The fallout looks irrelevant, i got a 3 stories concrete house with heavy metal shutters on the windows

    Search around for a deep underground military base in your area. They will have them. Bring your weapons and be prepared to fight your way in if you are aware nooks are on their way.
    Glowies created this mess and they owe it to all of us to either share the resources inside their taxpayer funded hideout or get greased by the civilians that they have sentenced to death.
    Whats better dying in your house or dying/surviving in a government base that has stores for a year+ ?

    I don't get people talking about trying to survive nukes and talking about how many guns and bullets and MRE's they have.

    Can you grow and store food? Can you you rig up an electrical system? Can you fix appliances and electronics? If the answer is no then you won't survive more than a couple of weeks before biting your own bullet when reality sets in. These are argurably far more important skills to cultivate in real life than shooting paper targets or practicing your draw in front of a mirror.

    I live 20 miles from a former weapons storage site that likely would have been a counterforce target. Unfortunately I also live near several major cities that would be prime countervalue targets and this is the Russians we're talking about.

    There are literally no bunkers in the UK, or at least none in middle class city/town homes. We are truly fricked.
