The Emergency Management Dept. for New York City dropped a PSA on Monday that tells residents what to do in the case of a nuclear attack.
The 1.5-minute spot gives viewers three steps to follow to mitigate their exposure to radioactive material.
1. Get Inside
2. Stay Inside
3. Stay Tuned
There are a few sub-steps like, get inside a building and make sure all doors and windows are closed, as well as if you were “outside after the blast, get clean immediately,” and “remove and bag all outer clothing, to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body.”
Here’s the full breakdown:
“While the likelihood of a nuclear weapon incident occurring in/near New York City is very low, it is important New Yorkers know the steps to stay safe,” the city’s Emergency Management Department said in a news release. “The new PSA encourages New Yorkers to take key, simple steps in the event of such an incident.”
Zach Iscol, the commissioner for the department, added, “As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is important that New Yorkers know we are preparing for any imminent threats and are providing them with the resources they need to stay safe and informed.”
Does anyone else find it weird that the government launched this PSA, now? What gives? Do they know something we don’t???
On the heels of a global pandemic are we headed toward nuclear war? Is it really an “imminent threat”?
While we ponder those questions here is the TRUTH on the matter. You cannot rely on the government to help you and your family during a crisis. Actually, that’s understating the situation. When things go truly pear-shaped, the only thing you can count on is that Big Brother will make things worse.
Remember during COVID when the lockdown was two weeks to slow the spread? Or when our overlords shuttered gun stores and instructed cops to stop arresting hardened criminals? Or when we were bullied into taking a vaccine that was all but guaranteed to “stop transmission and infection…”
Yeah, by and large, gov’t not only doesn’t help, it makes the situation worse. Which means you need to be prepared. If you haven’t given any serious consideration on how to survive a nuclear attack now’s the time. Don’t let a 1.5-minute PSA from NYC Emergency Management be your only reference point.

Would anyone miss New York City ? Any good will feelings I had on 9/11 are all but gone. F NYC.
New PSA after the nuke hits:
“In the aftermath of this vicious ‘attack on democracy’ perpetrated by Putin and his puppet, Trump, Mayor Adams has ordered the police to confiscate all firearms from surviving citizens in the name of public safety.”
An announcement from the brilliant minds that brought you Cuomo, deBlasio, and now Adams.
As a #1 paranoiac & conspiracy theorist, I have built a 2-ft thick bunker made of Twinkies in my backyard. Everyone knows they can survive any nuclear blast/radiation level and last for centuries. I’ll also have a delicious food supply during the emergency, as the surviving masses starve. God bless whoever invented the miracle that is Twinkies.
They left one out…..
4. If you are not wearing a certified anti-radiation suit, kiss your ass good-bye.
Will send out further information via wireless that won’t happen anyway after the “Electromagnetic pulse” created by the nuclear detonation. Yeah right. I’ll hold my breath on that one.
Nuclear attack. Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye!
And be sure to crouch down under your school desk like they taught us in the 1950s. Lol
What happened to “Duck and cover!” Or, Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye! They all will achieve the same result.
COVID is waning , Dems bring on the big scare.
Elections are coming and with radio active fallout we have to vote by mail.
” They will have a vaccine for the nuclear attack too.
Naw, the Monkey Pox will get you before that happens. Or will it be a new, weaponized Avian flu?
Don’t trouble yourself with going to the polls, or even filling-out a mail-in ballot, just let us cast your vote for you. Now you can get back to Twitter and Facebook.
Lots of sublimation in comment land today. A lot of you are pretty eager for folks in NYC to die.
I do agree watching a PSA is insufficient preparation for surviving a nuclear war.
STFU, Eric
A nuke in NYC would make the Trade Towers look like a fart in church. The bridges are melted and the bay is boiling. The commercial is fear mongering with a medicated twist.
That takes a “speshul” of stupid to create and broadcast something like this. Figure this out all you self absorbed NYCers: With the hypersonic capabilities the Russians and the Chinese have, (and we don’t) their missiles can reach the continental US in EIGHT MINUTES! By the time the military detects it, two minutes would have elapsed. They will then notify the civil defense system of the emergency and have them sound alarm which will have taken another five minutes. By the time the people hear the alarm (of which most will ignore) about seven and a half minutes will have passed. The only thing you fools need to know is to look at the bright light and know you will soon be vaporized like everything around you for miles.
Some facts: Hypersonic speed is not the game changer. ICBMs travel well into the hypersonic speed regime as they go ~8 km/sec balistically. The new hypersonic weapons go fast, fly low and maneuver all causing problems in the kill chain.
Current nukes start around 300 KT to 1 MT compared to Hiroshima ~15KT. A city like NYC would be hit by multiple warheads and would be one big glassy lake.
But, but, isn’t the federal govt. going to protect us? It’s their main mission afterall. Why, just look at the great job they’re doing securing our southern border. I feel So relieved!
4. Sit on the floor away from any windows or doors.
5. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.
Forgot #6: Put on your Fauci-approved COVID mask and don’t take it off until “authorities” tell you😜
Sure….hell lefts go back to the instructions and practices used in elementary schools in the 1950’s. 1) quickly get under your desk and cover your head. 2)TaDa…safe.
I am going into business making school desks, new boom business coming in New York. Maybe they’re aren’t enough baby boomers left to share these most valuable lessons from our early school years
Actually, there was wisdom to the old “duck and cover’ clips. If you are able to see the flash and mentally deduce that it’s a nuke going off, you’re not close enough to be instantly killed by the fireball, blast or radiation release. You ARE close enough to be injured by the shock wave and gale force winds created by the explosion. By getting under cover, even if it’s just a desk, you increase your chances of surviving any blunt trauma of a building collapse or flying debris.
You’re ignoring a vital fact. The EMP from the detonation, as well as the blast itself, will destroy all the SmartPhones and communications. Without access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, & TikTok, vast numbers of the population that survived the attack will perish. The Kardashians will simply cease to exist; a national catastrophe!
When you have excess budget and need to spend it in order to ask for more, what do you do? You create a pointless and inane video and hire your friend’s company to produce it! That way, everybody gets some cheddar.
I doubt that the residents of Hiroshima or Nagasaki had the opportunity to get indoors, shower, etc., before being converted to radioactive ash. Technology has improved mightily since then, but I don’t believe that a nuke strike on NYC would occur in slow motion.
Nothing like wasting money on a pointless PSA, but it does help out their friends who need work.
They really think there’s going to be running water and wireless connectivity in NYC after a nuclear attack? Wow. That’s a special kind of clueless.
That’s what hit me. Shower with soap and shampoo? Maybe run down to the corner store to get some if you’re short? Where will the water come from? And why won’t the cell towers be fried by the EMP (or immolated by the blast) like most other things? MAYBE they’ll still be transmitting their wireless warnings . . . but there’ll be precious few who will hear them!
