Iranian television has broadcast emergency safety instructions for the public in case of a nuclear strike. The guidance explains how people should respond to a blast, radiation exposure and radioactive fallout.
The instructions focus on finding immediate protection and reducing exposure to harmful materials. People have been advised to remain calm and follow safety measures during an emergency.
According to the broadcast, anyone who sees a sudden flash should avoid looking directly at it. They should immediately take cover behind a solid barrier. People should lie flat and protect their heads and faces.
The guidance also warns people against approaching windows or remaining outdoors. After the initial blast wave passes, they should enter the nearest available building. They should not stop to watch the scene or take photographs. Vehicles should not be considered safe shelter during such an emergency. People should also stay away from windows and exterior walls. These precautions aim to reduce the risk of injuries from blast effects and flying debris.
Steps to take after a nuclear strike
The broadcast also provides instructions for people who may have been exposed to radioactive fallout. They are advised to wash exposed skin using lukewarm water and soap. Hair should be washed with regular shampoo. The instructions specifically warn against using conditioner. If a shower is unavailable, people should clean their faces, hands and exposed skin.
Water or wet wipes can be used for this purpose. These measures are intended to remove radioactive particles from the body. The guidance also highlights the importance of safe food and drinking water. People are advised to use bottled water and packaged food. They should avoid potentially contaminated supplies.
Public advised to remain sheltered
Iranian television has also advised people to prepare for an extended period indoors. The public should be ready to remain inside a shelter for at least 24 hours.
A building can provide protection from radioactive fallout. However, people should move to another safe location if their shelter catches fire. They should also leave if the building appears likely to collapse. The instructions emphasize choosing a safer shelter and limiting unnecessary movement. People should avoid going outside unless their current location becomes dangerous.
