Number one, prepare for disaster.

You'll need a basic emergency survival kit.
17
It doesn't have to be too complicated.
18
Just some basic supplies in an easy -to -carry bag or container.

Decide on safe, familiar places where your family can go for protection or to reunite.

It will be very easy to forget all the details during the hysteria of a national crisis.
25
And that brings us to our next point.
26
Number 2.
27
When the attack happens, don't panic.
28
Yes, this is easier said than done.
29
But in the event of a crisis, it is crucial to focus and make decisions based on logic, not emotions.
30
Get away from your windows, any large objects, and move towards the lower levels of your home immediately.
31
If you live in a building, do not use the elevators.
32
Take the stairs instead.
33
Being underground in the basement while the attack is happening will reduce your chances of getting injured.
34
If you're lucky enough to survive the initial attack, don't waste any time and start inspecting your home immediately.
35
Determine whether it can still be used as reliable shelter for yourself and your family.
36
If the damage to your home is significant, you need to evacuate and start looking for alternative places to stay in.
37
Number 3.
38
Get away from potential targets.
39
Now that your city is under attack, You're best to get away from anything that might be the next target of a strike.
40
This means any important or famous buildings, monuments, large bridges, tunnels, and known military bases.
41
You'll want to hit the roads quickly because it's only a matter of time before there's chaos on the streets.
42
Use a detailed map to find alternative routes out of the city with less traffic during an evacuation.
43
GPS phone applications are good, too, but you won't know how long you can rely on cell networks.
44
Number 4.
45
Find shelter.
46
For your best chance at survival, you'll need to set up a new home base away from the combat.
47
This can be a community center, a hospital, a shopping mall, or a friend's home.
48
Essentially, you're looking for a location that still has running water, electricity, and heating.
49
Keep in mind that power grids could go down at any moment as the result of a bombing
50
or even a cyber attack.
51
So you'd probably want to find somewhere that also has a fuel or solar -powered generator, just in case.
52
Number 5.
53
Be ready for nuclear warfare.
54
If a global war breaks out in this day and age, nuclear weapons will likely be used.
55
And that really complicates your emergency plan.
56
If you see a nuclear flash, the first thing to do is get behind the barrier in case the shockwave comes your way.
57
And then you've got to find an enclosed shelter quickly.
58
You've only got about 15 to 20 minutes before nuclear fallout starts coming down.
59
So cover your mouth and nose with a rag and close your eyes.
60
Yes, this may make it more difficult to locate shelter, but it will protect you from possible nuclear fallout.
61
Try to get to the inner part of a building, somewhere you could be protected by thick concrete, and ideally be underground.
62
Once you've found shelter, be sure to remove your outer layer of clothing and your mouth cover.
63
Seal them in a plastic bag and clean yourself as soon as possible. And then, get comfortable.
64
You'll want to stay in your shelter for at least a day to ensure the dangers of radiation have been eliminated.
65
With these tips, you should be able to stay holed up in a safe place until all of this blows over.

Now, all you need to worry about is keeping your sanity while you wait alone in your shelter.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
