FEMA Updates Nuclear Explosion Guidelines: Maintain Social Distancing and Wear a Mask


13,230 views

As we look back on atomic bomb drills from the Cold War era, it’s humorous to think these actions would have saved us from a nuclear blast.

But the insanity continues in the modern age.

However, nuclear explosion guidelines may be even more ridiculous with the inclusion of COVID-19.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has published updated guidance to its “Nuclear Explosion” readiness public awareness website.

The new tips now include ways to avoid COVID-19.

Zero Hedge reported:

“A nuclear explosion may occur with or without a few minutes warning,” reads the page, which was updated on Friday. “Fallout is most dangerous in the first few hours after the detonation when it is giving off the highest levels of radiation. It takes time for fallout to arrive back to ground level, often more than 15 minutes for areas outside of the immediate blast damage zones.

FEMA recommends the following steps to prevent ‘significant radiation exposure,’ which include “Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household,” and “If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not part of your household.”

What’s more, “If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 and let the operator know if you have, or think you might have, Covid-19. If you can, put on a mask before help arrives.”

“Many people already feel fear and anxiety about the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The threat of nuclear explosion can add additional stress.”

According to the website, hazards related to nuclear explosions include:

  • Bright FLASH can cause temporary blindness for less than a minute.
  • BLAST WAVE can cause death, injury, and damage to structures several miles out from the blast.
  • RADIATION can damage cells of the body. Large exposures can cause radiation sickness.
  • FIRE AND HEAT can cause death, burn injuries, and damage to structures several miles out.
  • ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE (EMP) can damage electrical power equipment and electronics several miles out from the detonation and cause temporary disruptions further out.
  • FALLOUT is radioactive, visible dirt and debris raining down from several miles up that can cause sickness to those who are outside.

FEMA also states:

After the shock wave passes, get inside the nearest, best shelter location for protection from potential fallout. You will have 10 minutes or more to find an adequate shelter.

As you search for a shelter from nuclear fallout, remember to wear a face mask and social distance from other people in the blast zone.


No, you really can’t make this stuff up!
