- Stays Fit – Stop making excuses about physical fitness and try your best to get back into fit shape so that you can run nonstop to your nearest safest zone at least 3 KM to 5 KM away from your location. Increase your stamina so that you only easily chase down and run away from an enemy tank.
- Build A Secret Room – If an attack warning is issued then always take cover in the panic room. Construct an 10 to 14 feet underground secret room with facilities of thick concrete wall, heavy steel gate, ventilation, fridge, oven, CCTV, pc, mobile, gas masks, oxygen supply, air filters, internet and fire extinguishers so that can save you and your family from harmful nuclear radiations for at least one month. Make a map of all nuclear shelter areas that you can use when necessary.
- Make An Escape Plan- Sit together with all family members and make a secret plan to know how you will contact one another, how you will come back to the panic room during nuclear strikes. Locate your family and friends at your pre designated spot if this was not directly in the bombs path. Share the warning signs with each other.
- Prepare Emergency Supply Kit – Collect ready to eat foods, water filters, radio, medical kits, extra flashlight, batteries, dried milk, sanitary napkins, multivitamins, and diapers etc. Learn first aid basics and stay informed on the situations.
- Never look at the flash or fireball because it can blind you and your family members. Listen to online official information and follow the emergency instructions.
- Stock up petrol and diesel so that you can run away as far as possible when the nuclear radiation level drops down .Reserve not only cash money but also gold and silver.
- Take Classes to learn hand-to-hand combat and the use of firearms – Teach your family members how to use sharp objects like a knife to kill and hurt your enemy. Join a training camp or institute where you can learn how to chop the throat, elbow the solarplex and knee the groin of your enemy and other hand-to-hand combats. Purchase a licensing gun so that you can defend your family members and yourselves in direct face off.
- Set up a secret communication system – Learn secret codes with pre-understood meanings so that each family member can use these codes not only to share contingency plans but also to signal the true situation when enemies forced you or your family members on gun point if anyone will be captured.

- Data Recovery Software – This type of software is used for saving or rescuing inaccessible, deleted, corrupted, damaged, lost or formatted data from removable media, secondary storage such as HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID and other electronic devices when the data stored in them cannot be accessed in common way.

- Data Backup – Duplicate copy of data is created either in portable hard disks or in cloud storages so that if a device is lost, stolen, or compromised we can keep our important information safe.
- Destroy Old Records – It is very important to make old computers’ hard drives unreadable by disk shredding, magnetically cleaning the disk or using software to wipe the disk clean before disposing them because important data and information can be gathered through old computing devices.

- Do Not Use Same Password Everywhere – This is one of the easiest ways that hackers can break and misuse your data. Either use high strength passwords or a series of aimless words or a sentence called “passphrases” rather than “passwords” because passphrases are easy to remember but hard for hackers to hack. Never use personally identifiable information such as contact number, address etc. as passwords.

Every time you have a Windows update that says “HI I NEED TO UPDATE YOUR computer ”, it is usually to fix a known attack that hackers have figured out to get access to your computer.
- Software and Apps Privacy Settings – Application security can apply to desktop devices. Some software requests more permission than they really need in the need of data collection. These permissions allow access to vast data sources on the pc, possibly browsing history and geo location. We should restrict these unnecessary permissions.
