On Saturday, January 13, just a few minutes after eight o'clock in the morning, an error occurred in the State Emergency Operations Center: a worker from the incoming account by mistake triggered an emergency warning. All, after reading the warning, were notified of the unthinkable.
“Emergency Warning. BALLISTIC THREAT OF THE THREAT, RELATED TO HAWAII. SEARCH FOR IMMEDIATE KILLING. THIS WILL NOT BE. ”
The only thing that is true about the warning was that the notification was not an exercise. The problem was that it was a miss. The grave mistake that shocked the residents was because they thought that, as the text on their cell phones said, it was a real anxiety, designed to warn them of the serious danger of a nuclear bomb.
Six minutes after the warning was sent, the state attempted to cancel the warning, canceling the message so that further nuclear threat texts would not be sent to the remaining mobile phones that had not yet received a false warning.
We will not be able to get into the hot water in which the poor employee works, which caused a false alarm, and political drama after a mistake. The purpose of this article is to educate homeowners, tenants, and commercial property owners about what to do to protect themselves and their families in the event of such an emergency.
If you do not have a ready-made emergency set, now is the time to do it.
Keep the following items in an accessible place at home:
• The two-week cost of non-perishable food and bottles of pressurized water is sufficient for each person in the household.
• flashlights and batteries
• first aid materials
• battery-powered radio
After you have packed the necessary items, it's time to find out how to act if a nuclear disaster really happens.
Five things to do when there is an immediate nuclear risk
• Go to the shelter as soon as possible. The best type is a structure made of thick concrete or brick.
• The best shelter is an underground structure and protection against the intensity of heat generated by a nuclear bomb.
• Never try to leave the shelter immediately after the attack. Beware that the effects of a nuclear bomb are greatest immediately after its release and up to two weeks after it.
• Do not leave your shelter until officials authorize it.
• Do not go to places marked by officials as dangerous places.
• Go to a medical center if you have doubts about your physical well-being.
Six cases if you are outside the door during a nuclear
• If you were outside at the time of a nuclear bomb, lie down and close your eyes. Do not look at the fireball - it can make you become blind.
• After a nuclear explosion, escape to cover, take off your clothes and wash yourself with running water and soap.
• Be sure to remove the clothes you have worn while outside in a sealed plastic bag.
• Never leave your shelter until the authorities see it.
• Listen to the instructions of the authorities regarding the avoidance of dangerous places.
• If necessary, contact a medical center.
Is there coverage for nuclear risks?
In this day and age question is relevant. Despite the lack of insurance coverage for losses and losses associated with a nuclear discharge, some homeowners and commercial policies will cover losses resulting from fire, smoke, or an explosion resulting from nuclear explosions.
