Practical survival guidance for the first minutes, first hours, and first night after a nuclear detonation creates a fallout hazard. The episode begins immediately after the blast wave passes, when the most important decision is not where to flee across the city, but how fast to get inside the nearest substantial building and put dense material between people and radioactive particles that may arrive within minutes. It explains blast, heat, initial radiation, fallout, exposure, and contamination, then moves through the actions that matter most: take cover, enter shelter, choose an interior or underground location, decontaminate after getting inside, separate clean and dirty areas, manage air without creating unsafe conditions, and protect food and water. It covers homes, workplaces, schools, vehicles, public buildings, children, injuries, disabilities, pets, service animals, medical needs, communications, potassium iodide, and evacuation. Current emergency-management and public-health instructions always override generalized guidance. The core sequence is simple: get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned.
