How to survive a nuclear bomb, a conversation with world-wide nuclear radiation expert Dr. Andrew Karam; A new episode of my Causes or Cures Podcast.

Most people think that it’s impossible to survive a nuclear bomb. It is if you’re stuck in the fallout plume or come outside before it’s safe and get a lethal dose of radiation. But, is it possible to increase your chances of surviving a nuclear bomb? Dr. Andrew Karam, a world-wide nuclear radiation expert says it absolutely is. Living in New York City, what most would consider an “always” target for nuclear bombs, this is a topic I’m deeply interested in. In this episode, Dr. Erin Stair chats with Dr. Andrew ( Andy)  Karam. He will provided practical tips on how to survive a nuclear bomb. He’ll talk about where you should go once you hear a nuclear bomb is launched, how much time you have to prepare, what you should eat, drink, what you should do for your kids and pets, and he even talks about when it’s okay to use hair conditioner again. Since Iran was recently in the news, he also talks about Iran’s nuclear capability, which might interest folks from an international relations perspective.

Andy is a good friend of mine, so sometimes you’ll hear me mention “Molly’s” in this podcast. That’s a great Irish pub here in New York City where friends meet up for ridiculously delicious food and spirits. Perhaps I’ll head there if a nuclear bomb is launched? ;)  In all seriousness, after you listen to this podcast, look around your neighborhood and figure out the safest place to go if a nuclear bomb is launched. At the least, it’s a great exercise in increasing your situational awareness. You will have to look up from your phones to do it…boo-hoo.  ;)
