NYC Issues Nuclear Attack Preparedness PSA [VIDEO]

New York City’s ABC affiliate reports:

New York City launched a nuclear attack preparedness public service announcement on Monday, saying it’s best to be prepared even if such a strike is unlikely.

“While the likelihood of a nuclear weapon incident occurring in/near New York City is very low, it is important New Yorkers know the steps to stay safe,” the city’s Emergency Management Department said in its announcement.

The 90-second video starts with shots of destroyed city blocks. “So there’s been a nuclear attack,” an announcer says. “Don’t ask me how or why. Just know that the big one has hit. OK. So what do we do?”

The first step is “get inside,” specifically inside a building and stay away from windows, presuming a building is still standing with windows intact. Staying inside a car is not “inside,” according to the PSA. “If you were outside for the blast,” residents are told, “get clean immediately” by removing clothes and showering.

The last steps are to remain indoors, as close to the middle of this magically standing building as possible, and “stay tuned” by following media reports and city alerts on the fallout. “And don’t go outside until officials say it’s safe,” the host warns.
