Does APS have a shelter in place plan for a nuclear situation?

Because we are in a proxy war with Russia and Biden told a roomful of donors that we are the closest we've been to Armageddon since the cuban missle crisis.

This is the problem. If people think there is nothing that can be done, APS won’t know what to do. There is a non-negligoble risk, and there are steps we can take to mitigate exposure before detonation (after early warning systems give warning) or after detonation. I don’t know why no one is giving the public or our instructions (schools, nursing facilities, hospitals) this information for emergency preparedness.

Because we don't need them. Because there is no risk. Do you really think Russia will attack the US over Ukraine? Give me a break. Putin is not that dumb. Anyway his car will be blown up by a domestic terrorist like Darya Dugina's was before a nuclear bomb goes off. Watch your back, Putin.
