* If you can't find shelter, seek a depressed area nearby and lay
face down, exposing as little skin as possible if shelter is impossible
to reach. If there is no shelter of this kind, dig as fast as possible.
Even around 8 kilometers (5 miles) you will suffer third degree
thermal-burns; still at 32 kilometers (20 miles) the heat can burn the
skin off your body. The wind itself will peak at around 960 kilometers
per hour (600mph) and will level anything or anybody caught in the open.
* Failing the above options, get indoors, if, and only if, you can be
sure that the building will not suffer significant blast and heat
damage. This will, at least, provide some protection against radiation
<http://www.wikihow.com/Respond-to-a-Radiation-Threat> . Whether this
will be a viable option depends on the construction of the building and
how close you will be to the likely ground zero of a nuclear strike.
Stay well away from any windows, preferably in a room without one; even
if the building does not suffer substantial damage, a nuclear explosion
will blow out windows at enormous distances.[5]
* If you live in Switzerland
<http://www.wikihow.com/Visit-and-Tour-Switzerland> , check whether or
not your home has an atomic shelter. If not, find out where your
village/town/district atomic shelter is and know how to get there.
Remember this: no matter where you are in Switzerland, you will be able
to find an atomic shelter. When the sirens go off in Switzerland, you
are advised to inform those around you who may not be able to hear the
siren (e.g. they are deaf
<http://www.wikihow.com/Communicate-With-Deaf-People> ) and then tune in
to the National Radio Services (RSR, DRS and/or RTSI).
* Be sure you are not surrounded by anything flammable or
combustible. Substances such as nylon or any sort of oil based material
will catch on fire from the heat.
