Irwin Redlener: Sobrevivência em um ataque nuclear

Physician, disaster-preparedness activist

Although Cold War civil defense strategies were largely ineffective, practical steps today could save hundreds of thousands of lives in a nuclear emergency. Effective preparedness and clear-headed action can mean the difference between mass tragedy and survival.
