You can prepare yourself for SHTF (Shadow Homeland Threat Failing) by doing many things. Knowledge is power. You can stay safe, regardless of whether it's nuclear war or large cyber attacks. Listed below are a few tips to prepare for SHTF.
Preparing for a nuclear attack
The first thing you need to do when preparing for a nuclear attack is to make sure you have a safe place to go. At least 24 hours before you can go to a shelter, and then stay there until authorities clear the area. Avoid damaging windows or walls and avoid falling on buildings. 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 completed the above steps, you should call your local radio stations in order to receive updates about the attack.
Preparing yourself for a large cyber attack
Cyberattacks are more common than ever, but it's crucial to recognize the threats and be prepared. Cyberattacks are unwelcome attempts to steal, expose, or even destroy information. These attacks are often devastating. It doesn't really matter if the attack is on you.
The United States is under cyber attack from nations that have advanced network infrastructures that allow high-speed mobile and wired Internet connectivity. These nations are made up largely of an ethnic group from country "Y". There are two CERT groups in the country. One that is affiliated to the largest internet provider in country and one that is newly established and funded by government.
Companies need to be careful about the systems that support business operations. While it is important to prepare for large-scale cyberattacks, this requires a multifaceted approach. This means ensuring back-ups are available for critical assets and that corporate-approved solutions have been implemented. It is important for companies to look at industry coordination efforts and contingent service arrangements to ensure that they are able to quickly respond to large scale cyberattacks.
Preparing for a large-scale riot
During times of high crime and violence in cities, it is crucial to prepare. This means securing your property and keeping your family safe. You can also set up a neighborhood watch. It does not mean you have to call the police on strangers. This simply means you and your neighbors need to be aware of where you live and prepared for any situation that might arise. The neighbourhood watch should have radio and phone access so that they can communicate with each other. It is also important to plan for when violence might occur on your street.

Folding knives are compactly designed to fit into a pocket or backpack. The blade folds away when not in use.
Fixed-bladed knives can be used during normal use. They usually have longer blades than folding knives.
Fixed-blade knives are stronger but more difficult to transport.
What is the most crucial survival tool for you if you're lost?
The compass tells us which way north is. It also shows us the distance we have traveled since our origin point. The compass may not always help you find your way if you're travelling to a mountainous area. The compass can usually tell you where you are if you are on a flat surface.
If you don't have a compass, you could use an object such as a rock or tree for reference. While you will still need to find a landmark by which to guide you, it is at least possible to know the direction of north.
What is the first thing you should do in a survival situation?
The first thing you should do when faced with an emergency is to assess the situation. You need to know what is happening around you, where you are and how you got there.
Knowing what to expect from your environment is important. You may not be capable of using any communication methods if your environment is remote.
If you don’t know what you are doing, you should start learning as quickly as you can.
