FEMA's guide outlines critical steps for safety, emphasizing the importance of getting indoors quickly and staying there for at least 24 hours. The agency warns that fallout can be most dangerous in the first few hours after a nuclear explosion. The guide also highlights the need for advance planning, including assembling survival kits and identifying nearby fallout shelters.
