Worst case it’s going to be much colder for a couple o years and vegetation is going to be greatly impacted. Majority of strike survivors are going to die of hunger or at hands of people looking for food. To prep: be south where you can survive temperature drop by 10-20 degrees centigrade. Have tools to protect yourself (from others and elements). Have knowledge and means to produce cold resistant food for 2-10 years.

Worst possible scenario?

Off-grid cabin. Learn to build, farm, hunt food, and machine tools.

1. Take a shovel, dig a trench. 2. Throw a door over the trench. 3. Shovel dirt over the door. 4. Crawl into the trench and under the door. 5. Stay in the trench for two weeks. You'll be fine. 6. IRS and USPS have plans to resume services after a nuclear war... Look for Kevin Costner.

Prepare by not voting in a president who will dismantle a nuclear treaty.

I wonder if there was a shelter nearby and does siren works. Both answers was no.

Shelters was systematically not invested in in my country, and sirens somewhere works somewhere not.

Not. If it happens it happens. It will change the landscape to such a degree that any preparation is likely to be utterly meaningless.

Watch as many Primitive Technologies as you can while we still have Internet.

Procure some Iodine Potassium tablets wouldnt be a terrible first step.
