Where will you go when a nuclear blast is threatening to wipe you and your family off the map? Hopefully, you've already given this some thought. If not, check out the important information below. It's time to come up with a plan before Doomsday arrives!
Plan Ahead
Plan ahead, so you know what to do if there is ever a nuclear attack near you. You must consider where you would go, who would go with you, how you would get there, and how to stock it ahead of time.
If you plan on evacuating, you need to be certain that you can make it to your bugout location. If you get caught out in the open, you risk being exposed to the fallout. If you can evacuate safely, don’t hesitate.
If you are staying, the most important thing to remember when protecting yourself from a nuclear blast is:
The more layers of heavy, dense material you have between you and the fallout the better. The best materials are:
Steel
Concrete or brick
Earth
Water
Wood
For this reason, you need to get yourself somewhere that will offer you some protection. You can contact your city officials to see if there are any fallout shelters in your city. If so, you can head there, but if not, consider preparing your basement. Your basement automatically offers you some protection. In the basement of a two-story brick house you will receive 1/20th of the radiation as a person who is exposed outside.
Your Home
However, you can take measures to fortify your basement. Choose a corner of your basement and build a small room. Use any of the above materials to construct a second and even third wall inside your basement wall. Completely enclose the space. You can use concrete blocks, sand bags, and bricks. This will add additional protection and it is a space you can stock with whatever you will need for the time you must stay protected.
If you don’t have a basement, perhaps you live in an apartment building or your house has no basement, take the following into consideration:
Choose the tallest concrete buildings you can get to within a few minutes.
Go to the basement of the building, if possible.
If you cannot get to the basement, then next best location is in the center of the building, halfway up and in the hallways, away from the sides of the building. You want as many layers of steel and concrete as possible between you and the outside.
Stay inside for at least the first 24 hours (unless the authorities direct you to evacuate), during which the radiation levels will be at their highest (80% of the fallout occurs during this time).
Be prepared to stay inside for as long as two weeks in areas that are the most affected by radiation.
It's nice to know that just going down to your basement can offer such substantial protection from nuclear fallout. Of course, it won't protect you from a direct blast, but chances are strong in your favor that your home will never be targeted by a nuke.
However, if you live very close to a hospital, military base, or government building, you should strongly consider having somewhere safe to go if you become aware that nuclear war has developed into an immediate threat.

A survival hack in a disaster is, a neighborhood walk to find fallen live stock, and a community effort to cut it up into dried meat.
I don’t think there’s a lot of resources down there to survive on. Especially if there’s a lot of other people. An underground sewer is just not a good place no matter how you look at it. But if you choose to think otherwise, feel free to do so.

What do you exactly think doomsday means think about it
Pick up your weapon and follow me! Have a plan and know how to follow through, remember you can never do it all alone in the long run. Short term yes but long term, nope.
I’m going to skip the whole metro 2033 route, thanks
Article mentions first 24 hours. Worst of fall out is passed during that time. Depending on distance may still be at lethal levels, but then again maybe not. Longer stay the better. Can survive up to 3 days without water. If took a gallon or two could extend your survival time, and thus time before must brave the trek outside.
A sewer very much less than ideal, but it may be better than being caught in middle of street.
If you have a basement, your neighbor has a basement, or family member who lives near by, or work place has some sort of shelter all of these would be more ideal. But when you have nothing a sewer may be better than nothing.
During cold war a lot of people were more afraid of shelter living than nuclear weapons.
This would likely be like that.

the day the world ends or is destroyed
Alternatively 1/3 such is sustainable Scientists: ‘Look, One-Third Of The Human Race Has To Die For Civilization To Be Sustainable, So How Do We Want To Do This?’

They figured it out. Mass nuclear war. Ready to draw straws?
i know the cold war all too well.
No matter what doomsday to any given individual, it’s not a pleasant end to the civilizations on this planet. Not necessarily extinction but the collapse of life and how we live as we know it. It’s happened before and will again. We just another little blip on the earth’s timeline.
That is two true. Earth was old long before we came along and it will continue on long after we are gone.
According to these scientists though we will eat ourselves out of house and home. Planet earth as the house
under ground/inner earth.,.
According to the Bible the earth will be destroyed
Define destroyed. Because world can be very much damaged and people survive in underground bunkers .
Nuclear winter and world is destroyed for years. But people in bunkers with years of food with good air filtration would survive. If they had seeds and few animals could even bring back a piece of old earth without evolution having to take over spanning thousands and millions of years like it did the first time
I live in South West Florida there is no underground.
I would say let’s not get into people’s views of the Bible and what passages/versus mean. Destroyed can mean anything to anyone.
