Protect and Survive is a public service announcement made by the British Government during the cold war to inform people how to survive the nuclear apocalyse (You'd probably end up dying somehow if you followed these instructions). You can see it on youtube (sorry, I don't know how to link).

Here is a hypothetical situation. You are in charge of producing a film about what to do in the case of a nuclear war (The threat is very real). What would you tell people?

The survival of your superiors is important. Please locate Souplex and give him your food and resources.

Jump into a lead box? I don't know. I think no matter what the horrors after a nuclear war would make people want to kill themselves, and either way, there's a very low chance of surviving no matter what you do. I'd tell people to pray to whatever god they believe in and hug their children every night. Other then that your choices are limited.

The enclave approach. Are you planning to order the construction of 122 Vaults by any chance? If so, I'd like to go to Vault 77.

If you're still outside, it's too late. If you're in a bunker, congrats, and you'll find a selection of armaments in a secure box that has been delivered to your superior. In a few months, you may sent out two people. If they survive more than a month, you may also go out.
Good luck
I'm going to loot your corpses as soon as it's over. :-D

Two people having incredible sex.

They finish, one lights up a joint, the other starts shooting heroin.

The words "We're going to die anyway." flash up on the screen. Cuts to black. Then in standard white font: "Nuclear War approachs. You're all fucked. May as well enjoy your last days while you can."

Telling the population they're going to die is never a good thing. Riots, mass suicides etc.

Nuclear War is a very real threat. It's all over. I fail to see the consequences of my video doing anything other than shortening their already very numbered days.

What if the country threatening you collapses because they spent far too much money on nukes, and is no longer a threat?

Then with the money I made from making the film I buy and island and live out the rest of my days waiting for the inevitable mushroom clouds, free of any sort of responsibility.

Always have a contingency plan!

HIDE IN A FRIDGE!
It would probably have the words "ALL HOPE IS GONE. ALL BETS ARE OFF. ALL FRIENDS ARE GONE. ALL FAITH IS GONE. ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IS GONE. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T SURVIVE!" it then cuts to Billy Mays telling you to use his new box-o-safe(!) to survive. Then it tells you once you survive the initial blasts, go steal from all of the homes of those that died. Simple. And as a bonus, the video will include (following the PSA) a Japanese gore flick, then, after the Japanese movie, a porno. "FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE."
if that post made no sense, I'm sorry. I haven't slept good since thurs. and it is pretty late here.

It would tell you to hide in a vault underground. It would then tell you to shoot the overseer and go back outside to find resources and slaves, and maybe find your father and take down the government while you're at it.

Aside from the fact that the whole nuke apocalypse thing is blown out of proportion, there isn't really a whole lot you can do. People caught outdoors or in the blast radius are pretty much fucked. People in cities have the whole "concrete jungle" thing on their side. The density of a city can help to cushion a ground detonation and concrete can block some radiation. Either way, the main things survivors need to worry about are getting as far from the detonation point as possible and then detoxing if possible.

Make no mistake, in the case of a CBRN attack most of you will die. The only ones who may survive will be the ones with masks already on and a running start. Of course, they get the pleasure of watching everybody do the roach dance.

The main danger afterwards will be radiation poisoning from fallout. If you can think of a way to help people survive that, I tip my hat to you.
