There are many things to do in the event SHTF, or Shadow Homeland Threat Failure. Knowledge is power. Whether it is nuclear war or a large cyber attack, preparing for a disaster will allow you to stay safe. Here are some tips to help you prepare for SHTF.
Preparing for a nuclear attack
You must ensure that you have a safe place for your family when you prepare for a nuclear attack. A shelter should be available for you to use for at least 24hrs and remain there until authorities are cleared. Avoid windows and walls that could be damaged by radiation. Also, avoid buildings that might fall on you. You should also look for a public building that has a phone.
There are three steps you should take when you hear about an impending nuclear attack: Go inside a dust-filled building, shower, stay alert on social media, and sign up for "Notify NYC." Once you've completed the above steps, you should call your local radio stations in order to receive updates about the attack.
Prepare for a large-scale cyberattack
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent. However, it is important to be aware of the dangers and prepare for them. Cyberattacks are attempts to steal, expose or destroy information. These attacks can be very devastating. It doesn't really matter if the attack is on you.
The United States is being attacked by cyber-attackers from countries with advanced network infrastructures that permit high-speed internet connectivity. These nations are made up largely of an ethnic group from country "Y". There are two CERT teams in the country: one that is affiliated with the largest internet provider in the country, and one that's newly-established and a second that's funded by the government.
While preparing for large-scale cyber attacks requires a multi-faceted approach, companies need to focus on the systems that support critical business functions. This means ensuring that back-ups of critical assets are secure and corporate-approved solutions are in place. For large-scale cyberattacks that are not easily handled, companies need to consider industry coordination, which includes contingent service agreements.
Prepare yourself for a massive riot
It is important to plan ahead during times of increased crime and violence. This means protecting your family's safety and your property. It could also mean setting up an area watch. This does not mean that you should call the police on random strangers - it simply means that you and your neighbors should be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for any violent situation. Access to phones and radios should be provided for neighbourhood watch members so they can communicate with one another. Planned actions should also be taken in case of violence on your streets.
FAQ
What is the most important item for survival?
The most important thing you need to survive is food. You also need shelter from the elements, which are not as essential as food. If you don't eat, you won't live very long.
Why is it important to have basic survival skills?
It may not be possible to have food and water at all times, but being prepared can help you live longer.
It is important to learn how you can take care of others and yourself. You won't survive in a crisis if this is not something you know.
You need to learn how build shelters, fires, and make food for those who venture into the wilderness.
These are skills everyone needs to have. These skills will ensure you are safe and healthy when camping.
How to Navigate With or Without a Compass?
While a compass won't show you where you are, it will help you locate your way home if you lose track of your direction.
There are three options for navigation:
-
By landmarks
-
By magnetic North (using an compass).
-
By stars
Landmarks can be objects you recognize as soon as you see them. They can include buildings, trees, rivers, and others. Landmarks are useful because they provide a visual clue to where you are.
Magnetic North simply means the direction where the Earth’s magnetic field points. If you look at the sky, the sun appears like it's moving across the sky. The sun actually moves around the earth because of the earth's magnetic fields. Although it appears that the sun is moving across the sky and around the horizon, it actually does so. The sun is directly overhead at noon. At midnight, you will see the sun directly below. Because the earth's magnetic field changes constantly, the exact direction of its magnetic North pole is always changing. This could mean you can be off-course by quite a bit in one day.
Another method of navigation is to use stars. Stars appear as if they rise and fall over the horizon. These are fixed points in time that you can use for determining your location relative others.
What is the most important survival tool should you become lost?
The compass shows us the direction north. It also tells us how far we've traveled since our beginning point. The compass will not always point you in the right direction if there are mountains nearby. If you are on a flat plain, however, the compass will most likely give you all you need.
If you don’t have a map or compass, an object like a stone or tree could be used as a reference. You would still need to find a landmark to orient yourself by, but at least you'd know which direction was north.
How do you stay calm in a survival situation
Most situations will require patience and calmness. It's easy to panic in a survival situation, especially if you are stranded somewhere far from civilization. But staying calm and patient will allow you to deal with whatever happens.
It is important to understand that you can't change the outcome of any situation. Only you can change how you react to the situation. You can feel good about yourself, even if your goals weren't met.
Remain calm and collected even in emergency situations. This includes being mentally and physically ready.
Mental preparation includes having a clear goal in mind and setting realistic expectations for yourself.
Physical preparation means ensuring that you have enough water and food to last until help arrives.
You can now relax and enjoy the experience once you have done these two things.

-
A leaning-to studio (also known as "studio–on-a–frame” or "studio–on-a–post”) is a structure that includes two horizontal members (posts), one perpendicular and one vertical member (beam).
-
A lean-to greenhouse, also called a "greenhouse-on-a-post," consists of three parallel horizontal members (posts), one perpendicular member (beam), and a canopy.
