There are many things that you can do to prepare for SHTF (Shadow Homeland Threat Failure). 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 that will help you prepare for SHTF.
Preparing for a Nuclear Attack
You must ensure that you have a safe place for your family when you prepare for a nuclear attack. It should be possible to stay in a shelter for 24 hours, or until authorities clear the area. Avoid windows and walls that could be damaged by radiation. Also, avoid buildings that might fall on you. You should also look for a public building that has 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
While the threat of cyberattacks has become more common, it's important to recognize the threats and get prepared. Cyberattacks are attempts to steal, expose or destroy information. These attacks can be very devastating. It doesn't matter who you are, it's crucial to learn how to prepare.
The United States is under cyberattack by nations with advanced network infrastructures, which allow high-speed wireless and wired 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 linked to the country's largest internet provider and one that has just been established and is funded by the government.
Companies must not only prepare for large-scale attacks, but also consider the critical systems that enable them to run their business. This includes ensuring backups for critical assets are secured and that corporate-approved solutions exist. 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.
Prepare for a large-scale riot
It is vital to prepare for times of high crime or violence in cities. This means securing your property and keeping your family safe. It can also mean setting up a neighbourhood watch. This doesn't mean you need to call the cops on random people. It simply means that your neighbours and you must be aware of your surroundings. Access to phones and radios should be provided for neighbourhood watch members so they can communicate with one another. Planned actions should also be taken in case of violence on your streets.
