If you think there will be a nuclear attack, you can only save its effects if you have a strong and secure shelter.
The best and secure place would be at least 10 feet below the ground floor. Safe shelters can be made on the ground, but they will not be able to completely prevent the radiation. The secure shelters would be made with concrete instead of common bricks. But if you are using the common bricks, make sure to use the five layers of bricks instead of one.

You need to store essential things that are enough for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
Here is the list of things that you must carry with you in your secure shelter.
Have tin-packed food, vegetables, and fruits, but do not carry meat in tin food in order to avoid food poisoning.
Distilled or mineral water bottles.
A large tank of water that will be used for bathing.
A radio (remember your mobile will be useless in the first attack of radiation)
Apparels
Books (which will help in passing the time underground).
First Aid Kit
Medicines (in which fever, headache, body ache pills, and sleeping pills).
Batteries, Torches, or alternative electricity options.
Potassium iodide pills (use them on the first day of a nuclear attack).
Apart from this, penicillin potassium and septic antiseptic spray.
What to do if there is a nuclear attack?
In the case of any terrible nuclear attack, the first principle of survival is to control the senses.
Within a second of a nuclear attack, you will hear a loud explosion and immediately see a storm several miles high, like a mushroom shape.
With this shape of explosion, you can understand it is a nuclear attack.
Start the struggle to survive:
There are three stages of nuclear disaster,
1. Explosion
2. Full out
3. Radioactive storm
Dos and don’ts:
If a nuclear attack occurred the one and a half miles away from your location. It’s clear you are about to die, stand up immediately, Recite Kalama, because within a second your body will evaporate in seconds.
If you are at a distance far away from the nuclear attack, you have the chance to survive.
You have just five seconds after hearing the first explosion, try to run away opposite direction of the nuclear attack. Reach the wall or a deep place, lie down on the ground, holding your hands on your head, cover your ears and cross your legs.
At the same time, you will be hearing another blast, which will be stronger than the first one. This will produce a severe earthquake.
You escaped initially, so you listened to the second blast and tried to go hurriedly towards your shelter.
Full Out:
In the first blast, hundreds of buildings will not only fly toward the sky, but their debris will come down like rain, and at the same time, their radiation-filled alpha particles will come down.
Don’t turn back to see the blast and try to save yourself from the fallen things.
If you have reached at the right place, you escaped from the fallout.
Enter your shelter and, without delay, change your clothes because during your struggle to reach the safe place, it absorbed thousands of alpha particles.
If you are injured, immediately clean your wounds and take a bath if you can, because in this way, all the alpha particles will be removed from your body.
Now there is a radiation storm, and you have to stay in a shelter for several days.
Important Things to Remember:
Eat less.
Spend your time sleeping.
Must listen radio to keep yourself updated.
Have courage.
In the next few days, you may suffer from radiation and can suffer from fever, vomiting and shortness of breath. So, try to use the medicines you have.
Worship Allah and seek His forgiveness if you are a believer.
Wait until the rescue teams reach your area. So, make sure that there is a rescue team there to get out of your shelter and contact them so you can get rid of the radiation area immediately.
If there is no rescue operation in your area, stay in your shelter for 20 days, and after 20 days, you can come out because the radiation storm has ended so far.
Finally, Travel to Life:
It is quite possible that when you are out of your shelter, you feel that you are alive in millions. So, try to leave the area as soon as possible to live your life.
