Hey, it's a nuke. Cool.
In the event of a nuclear attack on Los Angeles, beware of radioactive pets, and don’t expect the feds to show up anytime soon.
The Los Angeles-area Joint Regional Intelligence Center issued a bulletin in August 2017 warning that a nuclear attack on Southern California would be “catastrophic” and urged officials in the region to shore up their nuclear attack response plans. In a section on “radiation protection basics,” the report offers a primer on what to do during a nuclear attack. “Lie face down and place hands under the body to protect exposed skin,” it recommends. “Remain flat until the heat and shock waves have passed.” Yeah, that'll work.
Challenges with contamination spread by pets and through clothing are also among the many public health and logistical coordination issues spelled out for potential emergency responders. Yeah, don't pet your dog if it's radioactive. And, after the nuke hits, make sure you change into fresh clothing.
Thank you, Los Angeles-area Joint Regional Intelligence Center, for spending time and money serving to help California citizens and residents in the event of a nuclear attack. Good job. Good report. Very helpful, in the event I am attacked by a nuclear missile. If I see a nuclear missile approaching, I'll be sure to follow the instructions. Or not.
