Why Is NYC Preparing Its Citizens for a Nuclear Attack?

Has New York City gone too far with this public service announcement? The city’s office of Emergency Management released this ad, telling residents what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. The host tells people to take cover indoors immediately. If you’re outside when the strike occurs, residents are advised to shower, bag their clothes. Then, pay attention to local media for information and next steps. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

[@vtogvblog]

The fact you even have to ask if they should remain ignorant of possible situations, because it may make them uncomfortable means you probably should do this more.

[@megahunterkiller]

There is no credible nuclear threat against New York City or any city in the US. The ad is entirely to be alarmist and to garner media attention. To quote my favorite gun salesman: “The 1980s wants their foreign policy back.”

Accept your imminent demise with the knowledge that there's nothing you can do to prevent it. Maybe have a glass of wine and watch the world get vaporized. Unless you've got a fully stocked fallout shelter and a way to get there fast, it's best to think about this rationally.

[@AldrickExGladius]

NYC and the people that made this PSA should've talked to a person that actually knows something about nuclear explosions. These 3 pieces of advice MIGHT work for a ground detonation, but nuclear bombs usually explode a couple hundred feet above the ground so the blast can cause more damage and spread radiation further. As with a conventional explosive, a nuclear detonation produces shock wave, or air blast wave. The air blast, with its accompanying winds, can damage structures and injure individuals. Individuals can also be injured by falling debris and flying glass shards. The air blast from a 1 KT detonation could cause 50% mortality from flying glass shards, to individuals within an approximate radius of 300 yards (275 m). This radius increases to approximately 0.3 miles (590 m) for a 10 KT detonation. The second effect would be extreme heat, a fireball, with temperatures up to millions of degrees. The heat from a fireball is sufficient to ignite materials and cause burns far from the fireball, and the associated intense light may cause blindness. The heat from a 1 KT detonation could cause 50% mortality, from thermal burns, to individuals within an approximate 0.4 miles (610 m) radius. This radius increases to approximately 1.1 miles (1800 m) for a 10 KT detonation. Shadowing by structures between the fireball and the individual will prevent or reduce heat effects. The initial radiation is produced in the first minute following detonation. The detonation’s intense initial pulse produces ionizing radiation that causes intense radiation exposures. The initial radiation pulse from a 1 KT device could cause 50% mortality from radiation exposure, to individuals, without immediate medical intervention, within an approximate ½ mile (790 m) radius. This radius increases to approximately ¾ mile (1200m) for a 10 KT detonation. Individuals in intervening buildings and building basements may receive a reduced exposure due to the additional shielding. Ground shock, equivalent to a large localized earthquake, would also occur. This could cause additional damage to buildings, roads, communications, utilities, and other portions of the infrastructure. The ground shock and air blast would be expected to cause the major disruptions in the local infrastructure. So yeah, NYC might wanna rethink this PSA.

[@CanuckRabbit]

There would still be people who felt the effects of the blast but weren't killed, so they at least need to prepare in case of that, and to be honest i'd rather die instantly to a nuke than slowly to its radiation.

[@jen30551]

Now that's a PSA! Seriously though, it is hard to balance preparedness with the awful reality of a nuclear blast. I survived severe burns as a child and as dark as this is, I wouldn't have wanted to survive has they been much worse. Especially when infrastructure will be deeply damaged or nonexistent. At that point, any medical personnel still functioning will be in triage mode. If you're too far gone, they move on. To say I have a limited understanding of how a nuclear blast functions is an understatement but from what I've read, it is my understanding this message is really for people far enough outside the blast zone. Everyone within it...well, we've all seen the footage of Japan from WWII. Just sickens me that this is a thing that could very well happen given what is happening in the world right now.

[@jen30551]

@@CanuckRabbit Exactly. And then depending on the size of the blast, you would have the aftermath of basic necessities being completely unavailable or supply stunted to the point where violence would be a common way to obtain such things. Not to mention nuclear winter and the likelihood of of retaliation. So many countries have nuclear capabilities now that any one of them could pop off after such an event setting off a chain reaction.

[@CorduroyNinja]

Being prepared isn't a bad thing. Disasters both natural and man made can happen. The balance is not to allow being prepared to morph into paranoia. I put my seat belt on every time I drive, it doesn't matter if it's a 5 min trip or 5 hour. I don't plan to get into an accident but I want to take the precautions necessary to give me the best chance at survival. Having water and food storage and other items in your home in case of an emergency seems like a way to increase your odds of surviving kinda like the same idea of putting on a seatbelt every day.

[@heavensent8848]

What about a 50 second trip to repark In your driveway?

[@CorduroyNinja]

@@heavensent8848 okay you got me there.

[@anr1682]

You put a seat belt on not because it increases your survival rate. You do it because you don't want a cop pulling you over and giving you a fine. If you don’t wear a seatbelt, that comes with a $50 fine. You, as the driver, could also face fines of $25 to $100 for each passenger who is not wearing a seatbelt.

[@CorduroyNinja]

@@anr1682 No, I put on a seat belt because I have a basic understanding of physics. If I'm traveling in my car at 60mph and my car hits an object or an object hits my car and it suddenly stops my body will continue to move at 60mph. I don't know about you but I don't want to be throw at 60mph through or at anything. Also not paying a fine is good for my bank account.

It’s both. The fireball would kill anyone five miles or closer. Burns and falling buildings would kill most people between five to fifteen miles. Most people between fifteen to thirty miles would die from radiation a few weeks or months later.
