There are many things that you can do to prepare for SHTF (Shadow Homeland Threat Failure). Knowledge is power. You can stay safe, regardless of whether it's nuclear war or large cyber attacks. Below are some ways to prepare for SHTF.
Prepare for a nuclear attack
Make sure you have somewhere safe to go when you're preparing for a nuke attack. You should be able to go to a shelter for at least 24 hours and stay there until authorities clear the area. You should avoid windows and walls that may be damaged by radiation and try to stay out of buildings that may fall on you. You should also look for a public building that has a phone.
Three steps should be taken if you hear of an imminent nuclear attack. First, go inside a dusty building. Next, shower. Finally, use social media to stay informed and sign up for Notify NYC. After you have completed these steps, you can call your local radio stations for updates.
Prepare for a large-scale cyberattack
Cyberattacks have become more frequent, but it's essential to recognize the risks and be prepared. Cyberattacks are an unwelcome attempt to steal or expose information, or even destroy it. These attacks can have devastating consequences. It doesn’t matter whether you are the victim or the target.
Cyberattacks are being launched against the United States by countries that have sophisticated network infrastructures that enable high-speed wired and mobile 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 linked to the country's largest internet provider and one that has just been established and is funded by the government.
Companies need to be careful about the systems that support business operations. While it is important to prepare for large-scale cyberattacks, this requires a multifaceted approach. This includes ensuring backups for critical assets are secured and that corporate-approved solutions exist. To be able to respond quickly to large-scale cyberattacks, companies should consider the industry coordination efforts.
Preparing for a large-scale riot
It is important to be prepared during times of violence and high crime in cities. This includes protecting your home and family. This can also be done by setting up a neighbourhood watch. It does not mean you have to call the police on strangers. This simply means you and your neighbors need to be aware of where you live and prepared for any situation that might arise. Access to radios and phones should be available for your neighbourhood watch so you can communicate with others. You should also plan for the possibility of violence spreading to your neighborhood.
