Meteor / Asteroid Impact Survival

IF A LARGE IMPACT / BRILLIANT SKY FLASH 1. DON'T LOOK at the flash (can blind). Drop flat, face down, away from windows, the instant you see the flash — the blast wave arrives seconds to minutes later. 2. AFTER the blast wave passes, get to the best underground shelter available: a basement, subway, deep parking structure, or the lowest interior room of a sturdy building. 3. Stay sheltered for at least 24-72 hours to avoid falling ejecta and dust (treat blast dust like fallout — keep it out of lungs; use a mask or damp cloth). 4. Listen for official guidance via battery/hand-crank radio — yours may be the only working source if power and cell towers are down. AFTER EMERGING - Avoid downed power lines, broken gas lines and unstable structures. - If you're far from the impact, expect ruined skies/ash for days and disrupted supply chains: rely on your stored food/water and check on neighbors. SMALL METEORITE / RANDOM FALL - Almost all burn up. The real risks are getting hit by debris, shattered windows from a blast (like Chelyabinsk 2013), or a panicked crowd. Take shelter from the flash, protect your eyes and stay clear of windows. REALISTIC PREP - The same ALL-HAZARDS KIT that protects you from EMP, quake and storm protects you here: water, food, first aid, mask, battery radio, cash, copies of key documents, and a plan to meet your family if phones are down.
