...according to FEMA: Get uphill and upwind! Seriously. This online CE CERT stuff is making me nuts (or maybe more nuts than I was previously, probably depends on whom you ask). I expect that the classroom stuff will be more...diverse in answers? Will find out tomorrow.
Anyway. Fire? Get uphill and upwind! Nuclear blast? Get uphill and upwind! Terrorist attack? Get uphill and upwind! Broke a nail? Get uphill and upwind! Seriously, that seems to be the answer for literally any emergency, or at least it is if you're FEMA.  _________________ "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." ~Tenzin Gyatso, aka His Holiness the Dalai Lama "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves." ~ Romans 15:1 "Ils Ont Les Armes, On Les Emmerde, On A Le Champagne!"~Charlie Hebdo, November 2015 |

I'll suggest what we mountaineers call the lightning position, which can be used for any potentially deadly situation.
How to prepare for a lighting strike: 1)bend at the knees 2)bend at the waist 3)tuck head between legs 4)grab behind the thighs tightly 5)kiss your ass goodbye _________________ It must be frustrating always being the smartest person in the room.-Jagerbomber35 Divided we fall. |

Why would you go uphill during a fire, even upwind? Fires race up hills and crawl down them.

Well if I've been into the oat bran, eggs, beans, broccoli - that is the answer.

I do occasionally break a nail, though, so the uphill tip will be helpful in the future.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

^^^ Bah, beat me to it.
The answer to everything is 42, of course. (At least that's what Douglas Adams says.) I mean, really, in the event of a full-on nuclear attack, 42 will probably be as useful as anything else. _________________ "Hmmm.

Huh.
For years my wife has counceled my children when I fart to "Get uphill and upwind!". Never knew that was a common emergency reply. _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S. Thompson |
