In the event of SHTF (Shadow Homeland Threat Failure), there are many things you can do to prepare yourself. Knowledge is power. It doesn't matter if it is nuclear war, or a large cyberattack. Being prepared for any kind of disaster will ensure your safety. Here are some tips to help you prepare for SHTF.
Preparing yourself for a nuclear strike
Prepare for a nuclear attack by making sure you have a safe area. You should be able to go to a shelter for at least 24 hours and stay there until authorities clear the area. Avoid radiation-damaged windows and walls, and stay away from buildings that could fall on you. A public building should have a phone.
When you hear of a nuclear attack, there are three things you should do: Get inside a building that is dusty, take a shower, keep an eye on social media and sign up to "Notify NYC." Once you've taken all these steps you can contact your local radio stations to receive updates.
Preparing for a large-scale cyber attack
While the threat of cyberattacks has become more common, it's important to recognize the threats and get prepared. Cyberattacks may be unwelcome attempts at stealing, exposing, or even destroying information. These attacks can have devastating consequences. It doesn't matter who you are, it's crucial to learn how to prepare.
The United States is being attacked by cyber-attackers from countries with advanced network infrastructures that permit high-speed internet connectivity. These nations are largely comprised of an ethnic minority 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.
Although preparing for large scale cyber attacks requires a multi-faceted approach to planning, companies should focus on systems that support vital business functions. This includes ensuring backups for critical assets are secured and that corporate-approved solutions exist. Companies should also consider industry coordination efforts, including contingent service arrangements, to ensure they can respond quickly to large-scale cyber attacks.
Preparing for large-scale riot
It is vital to prepare for times of high crime or violence in cities. This means protecting your property and keeping your family safe. This could also include setting up a watch in your neighborhood. You don't have to call the police for random strangers. It just means that you and all your neighbors must be aware and prepared in case of violence. Access to radios and phones should be available for your neighbourhood watch so you can communicate with others. You should also plan for the possibility of violence spreading to your neighborhood.

How to remain calm and composed in a survival situation
Most situations will require patience and calmness. It's easy for people to panic in survival situations, especially when they are far from civilization. But staying calm and patient will allow you to deal with whatever happens.
It is important that you remember that you cannot control the outcome of a situation. Only you have control over how you respond. So even if you didn’t achieve all you wanted, you can still feel good.
You must be calm and collected when you're in a survival situation. This requires being mentally and physical prepared.
Mental preparation means having a clear goal and realistic expectations.
Physical preparation refers to making sure you have enough water and food until rescue personnel arrive.
Once you have done both of these things, you are free to relax and just enjoy the experience.
