No precautions can assure safety in such a situation. It is however, the belief of the Giant Monster Preparedness Council (GMPC) that following this Giant Monster Attack Plan, will maximize your chances of survival.
When Godzilla or other giant monster (or monsters) attack, you have only a short amount of time to make life-or-death decisions. Advanced planning and quick response are the keys to surviving a Giant Monster Attack.
BEFORE a Giant Monster Attack
Conduct Giant Monster drills often.
Designate an area in the home as a shelter, and practices having everyone in the family go there in response to a Giant Monster Attack.
Discuss with family members the difference between a Giant Monster Watch" and a Giant Monster Warning."
A Giant Monster WATCH is given when The Giant Monster Preparedness Council (GMPC) suspects that a Giant Monster Attack may be eminent. During a Giant Monster WATCH, be aware of signs that a Giant Monster may be active in your area. Some of these signs may include shaking of the ground, unusual rumblings, loud roaring noises and large crowds of people running away in panic.
If these conditions occur, be prepared to take shelter immediately. Remind family members of where the safest places are located.
Tune to local TV or radio, for developments.
A Giant Monster WARNING is given when a Giant Monster is sighted. The danger is very serious and you should take shelter immediately. Because Giant Monsters can attack and move quickly, there may not be time for a warning. That is why it is important to stay alert at all times.
Be ready to evacuate. Your evacuation plan should include two means of escape from each room in your home, workplace, and/or classroom location as well as routes out of town.
Have disaster supplies on hand.
Flashlight and extra batteries
Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries
First aid kit and manual
Emergency food and water
Nonelectric can opener
Essential medicines
Cash and credit cards
Sturdy shoes
Geiger Counter
Extra special equipment (wheelchair batteries, cane, oxygen, catheters etc ) and medication with prescriptions names and dosages
Develop an emergency communication plan; in case family members are separated from one another during a Giant Monster Attack have a plan for getting back together.
Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact." After a Giant Monster Attack, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
Create a self-help network of neighbors, friends, co-workers or classmates to assist in an emergency.
This network is a critical component of disaster preparedness, especially for... People with disabilities.
Explain the nature of your disability and let them know how they can help you during an emergency. For example, they can help by checking on you after an emergency To enable your network to be efficient and effective, you might want to:
Give them a copy of your Emergency Information.
Give them a key to your house or apartment.
Coach them in advance about how to communicate with you or move you
Teach them how to drive your adapted vehicle
Show them how to operate your wheelchair so they can move you if necessary Wearing medical alert tags or bracelets to identify your disability may help in case of an emergency.
Know the location and availability of more than one facility if you are dependent on a dialysis machine or other life-sustaining equipment or treatment. If you use a TDD to dial 911, tap the space bar to indicate a TDD call.
Keep a writing pad and pencils with you to communicate with others.
Keep a flashlight handy to signal your whereabouts to other people and for illumination to aid in communication.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, remind friends that you cannot completely hear warnings or emergency instructions. Ask them to be your source of emergency information as it comes over their radio.
If you have a hearing ear dog, be aware that the dog may become confused or disoriented in an emergency.

DURING A Giant Monster Attack
Evacuate, or if it's too late to leave town:
Go at once to the basement, storm cellar, or the lowest level of the building.
If there is no basement, go to an inner hallway or a smaller inner room without windows, such as a bathroom or closet.
Get away from the windows.
Go to the center of the room. Stay away from corners because they tend to attract debris.
Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.
Use arms to protect head and neck.
If in a mobile home, get out and find shelter elsewhere.
If at work or school:
Go to the basement or to an inside hallway at the lowest level.
Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls.
Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.
Use arms to protect head and neck.
. Listen to your local Emergency Broadcast System for updates.
If outdoors:
If possible, get inside a building.
If shelter is not available or there is no time to get indoors, lie in a ditch or low-lying area or crouch near a strong building. Be aware of the potential for flooding.
Use arms to protect head and neck.
If in a car:
Never try to out-run a Giant Monster in a car or truck. Giant Monsters can move and change direction quickly and are often attracted to moving objects.
Get out of the car immediately and take shelter in a nearby building.
If there is no time to get indoors, run for your life.
AFTER a Giant Monster Attack
Carefully determine that the Giant Monster Attack is really over. Remember that Giant Monsters can turn around and return anytime they want to. Other Giant Monsters may also be in the area. IF you believe it is safe
Help injured or trapped persons
Give first aid when appropriate. Don't try to move the seriously injured unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.
Retrieve your emergency supplies
Turn off damaged utilities
Turn on radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
Stay out of damaged buildings. Return home only when authorities say it is safe.
Use the telephone only for emergency calls.
Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, or gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the buildings if you smell gas or chemical fumes.
Take pictures of the damage--both to the house and its contents--for insurance purposes.
Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
INSPECTING FOR DAMAGE
Check for gas leaks--If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and quickly leave the building. Turn off the gas at the outside main valve if you can and call the gas company from a neighbor's home. If you turn off the gas for any reason, it must be turned back on by a professional.
Look for electrical system damage--If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if you smell hot insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician first for advice.
Check for sewage and water lines damage--If you suspect sewage lines are damaged, avoid using toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap. You can obtain safe water by melting ice cubes.
Check for radiationRemember that many Giant Monsters are radioactive. If you suspect radiation poisoning seek medical help and notify authorities immediately.
