There are many things to do in the event SHTF, or Shadow Homeland Threat Failure. Knowledge is power. Whether it is nuclear war or a large cyber attack, preparing for a disaster will allow you to stay safe. Below are some ways to prepare for SHTF.
Preparing yourself for a nuclear strike
The first thing you need to do when preparing for a nuclear attack is to make sure you have a safe place to go. At least 24 hours before you can go to a shelter, and then stay there until authorities clear the area. Avoid damaging windows or walls and avoid falling on buildings. A public building should have a phone.
You should follow these steps when you hear that there is a nuclear attack imminent: Stay inside a densely populated building, shower, monitor social media, sign up for Notify NYC, and stay alert. Once you have taken these steps, call your local radio stations and get information about the attack.
Preparing yourself for a large cyber attack
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent. However, it is important to be aware of the dangers and prepare for them. Cyberattacks may be unwelcome attempts at stealing, exposing, or even destroying information. These attacks can prove to be extremely destructive. Whether you're the target, it's important to know how to prepare.
The United States is being attacked by cyber-attackers from countries with advanced network infrastructures that permit high-speed internet connectivity. These countries are mostly made up of an ethnic minority from country Y. There are two CERT teams in the country: one that is affiliated with the largest internet provider in the country, and one that's newly-established and a second that's funded by the government.
Although preparing for large scale cyber attacks requires a multi-faceted approach to planning, companies should focus on systems that support vital business functions. This means ensuring back-ups are available for critical assets and that corporate-approved solutions have been implemented. To be able to respond quickly to large-scale cyberattacks, companies should consider the industry coordination efforts.
Prepare for a large-scale riot
It is essential to be prepared for high levels of crime and violence in cities. This means protecting your property and keeping your family safe. It could also mean setting up an area watch. You don't have to call the police for random strangers. It just means that you and all your neighbors must be aware and prepared in case of violence. You should ensure that your neighbourhood watch has access to phones and radios so you can communicate with other residents. Also, you should plan for what happens if violence breaks out on your street.
FAQ
How to Navigate with or Without a Compass
Although it doesn't give you a map of where you are heading, a compass can help you navigate back home if your bearings have been lost.
There are three ways to navigate:
-
By landmarks
-
By magnetic North (using an compass).
-
By stars
You recognize landmarks when you see them. They are trees, buildings or rivers. They are useful as they can be used to show you where you are.
Magnetic North is simply where the Earth's electromagnetic field points. The sun appears to be moving across sky if you look up. However, the earth’s magnetic field actually causes it to move around the Earth. The sun appears to move across the sky but it actually moves around the horizon. At noon, it is directly overhead. The sun is directly below your eyes at midnight. The magnetic field on the earth changes daily, so the direction of the North pole's magnetic North pole can change every day. This can mean that you could be off track for a few days.
Another way to navigate is with stars. The stars appear to rise or set above the horizon. These are points in space you can use to find your exact location relative to other locations.

What's the difference between a folded knife and a fixed blade knife?
Folding knives can be folded compactly so they fit in a backpack or pocket. When not in usage, the blade folds down.
Fixed-blade knives are made to be used in normal usage. They are usually longer than folding knives.
Fixed-blade knives have a greater durability, but are also more portable.

It is possible to injure yourself if you don’t have enough experience dressing wounds. If you are interested in dressing a wound, these steps should be followed:

Make sure to clean the wound well. Make sure the wound does not contain dirt and foreign objects. Apply gauze to the wound after it has been cleaned. Before touching the wound, wash your hands with clean water.
