In case of nuclear fallout in your region after the global catastrophe in 2012 you should take action immediately and make a plan what you are going to do in the worst case scenario.

How_To_Survive_Nuclear_Fallout_in_the_Own_Bunker.pngTake cover immediately: If you are outside a shelter during a nuclear burst, take cover in a ditch, revetted area, culvert, or a road drainage tunnel. Expedient shelters can be constructed with accessible materials in a relatively short time.
If all else fails, immediately take a prone position. Tightly cover your face with both hands. Do not move until the blast wave has passed completely. Completely means that the incident wave and any reflected blast waves must pass. Preplanning should include protective measures against thermal effects. Anything in direct line of sight to a burst may burn.
Time, distance, and shielding are your best overall protection against residual or delayed radiation hazards. Minimize your time outside of bunker. Remain inside your protective shelter unless the mission dictates otherwise. If you must work outside, do so as quickly as possible and get back inside without delay.
Protection factor shelters (you can find more information on 2012 survival bunkers here) , such as massive concrete structures with few or no windows, allow much less radiation to penetrate them reducing exposure to the people inside. This is an important factor in the exposure control program. For example, even a simple shelter such as a wood frame structure can reduce your exposure by a factor of 10 or more. Protect your bare skin from fallout. Radioactive fallout exposure will be minimized by wearing gloves, field jacket and hood, blousing your pants, and taping openings in your uniform. Cover open cuts or wounds and avoid breathing fallout. Wear a handkerchief tied over your mouth or use your protective mask.
How to Recognize a Radiation Sickness .
When fallout occurs, radioactive material may enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption. Radiation sickness can result from a single exposure to high energy radiation, exposure to high-levels of fallout, or from repeated exposures to both. Radiation sickness is not contagious. It’s caused by radiation destroying cells within our bodies at a rate the body
cannot overcome.
Early symptoms of radiation sickness are nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and illness. Subsequent symptoms producing severe body fluid loss, internal hemorrhaging and diarrhea indicate high levels of radiation poisoning. In most cases, affected people will require medical
treatment such as whole blood transfusions and antibiotics to control infections. Increased fluid intake may also be necessary. Medical treatment in your bunker may be extremely limited. Rest and relaxation may be your only treatment until medical
assistance becomes available.
How To Avoid Nuclear Contamination.
If the doomsday predictions about the end of the world in December 2012 are correct, huge areas of the planet are going to be exposed to nuclear danger.
The following rules will help you avoid contact with radioactive fallout:
Always try to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. Avoid handling objects suspected of being contaminated with fallout.
Protect equipment by covering with plastic sheets, tarps, or anything else to minimize the chance of fallout contamination.
Park vehicles in hangars, garages, or under covered areas.
Keep all doors, windows, or canopies closed to keep the fallout out.
Bunkers provide us the best  protection from radioactive fallout. Remember, any sort of overhead cover is better than nothing. A poncho, paper, cardboard, or any other expedient cover may be your only available shelter if you are outside when fallout arrives.
Nuclear Decontamination.
You cannot neutralize radioactive contamination; you can only remove it. Also, items exposed to fallout do NOT become radioactive themselves. Simply remove the fallout and the item is safe to use. You can do this by washing your vehicles equipment and yourself.
Many things can be used to decontaminate radioactive fallout. No specific equipment is issued to you for this purpose. Pressurized water, brooms, mops, brushes, soap, and water, etc.
can remove radioactive contamination.
So prepare your plan today in case your region is hit by nuclear fallout after the global catastrophe of 2012.
