If you live in NYC... there IS no preparedness for a nuclear attack.
You will have a ringside seat to watch the whole thing.
All services will STOP from that instant. Anything that relies on electricity is not going to happen for at least a year. No water, no sewer, no electricity (no air conditioning, no lights, no electric appliances) no cell phone service, no internet, no TV or radio, no street lights, no subway, no public transportation, virtually no law enforcement, hospitals will be a zoo trying to operate on generator power (if they even have staff and can operate), stores will be looted, no ATM's or banks or credit/debit card use, etc... .
Your only chance for survival is to stay in a bunker for 2-3 weeks minimum to avoid the worst of the radiation damage... and then leave the city as quickly as possible.
By the time you make it to the countryside, all of the other evacuees will have stripped the landscape bare. Don't expect to find shelter, water, food or any help for at least a hundred miles of NYC.
Other than that, please read the "important pamphlet" to let you know how to prepare to be zombie food.
I remember our classrooms had large windows that went from halfway up the wall to the ceiling. They spanned the length of the room. It allowed us to see the sky and the clouds and to let in a nice breeze. However, in our drills we learned that when the air raid sirens went off, we were to flip our desk on their sides with the top facing the window and we were to hide behind it so that the impact of a bomb (if close enough) would cause the windows to be blown inward to the opposite wall shattering glass everywhere. The desktop was the only defense we had. Other days, they'd sound the siren and we'd be instructed to run home as fast as we could to our mothers (who were at home, of course) and the safety of our houses. I remember thinking how fun the whole 'pretend' exercise was.
Oh, the innocence of youth back in the early 1960s.
Not to mention leaving the city he will encounter violent people amd disease from the dead you will walk through.
The hit and initial death toll
The shock and attempted rescue
The lack of resources and injury deaths
I'll just say if you are in New yourk and it gets hit, 95 percent t chance you die depending on your position during g the hit. Even escaping ground zero will be a deadly trial.

Remember they used to tell us, hide under your desk you’ll be ok ... 😂
When I was ten years old we were doing that and I knew it was lying government crap. I had already read Ray Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rains.

Or any major city for that matter.
In other words, kiss your ass goodbye….
That’s a great summary. Yup.
