Government website wants to prepare you for a nuclear explosion, just in case

Ready.gov, which is a public service site that prepares Americans for disasters, recently updated its website to include a nuclear explosion emergency. 

While there has been no indication that a nuclear explosion emergency is on the horizon, Ready wants to get you prepared, just in case.

At the ready.gov link, there's this gem:

Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household.

Yeah, like I'm going to be thinking, "HOLY SHIT WE JUST GOT NUKED!!!  WHERE'S MY MASK, I DON'T WANT TO CATCH A SNIFFLE!!!"
