Protocols like that are about probabilities and how they influence survivability.
If you are too close to a nuclear detonation for duck and cover to change your survivability.....then that is your reality.
If you are far enough from a nuclear detonation that duck and cover is un-necessary, then so be it.
But if there are a million people in between those two zones and they are subjected to a nuclear blast and radiation burst, then getting out of the direct path of both those and getting some overhead protection from falling ceiling panels/masonry will increase their probability of survival. That might make the difference between life and death for a hundred thousand or more of those million.
There are many things in life you can do to reduce risk........some are prudent and some are arguably not worth the cost.
Trying to duck and cover after you see/detect the first flash, wont cost you much.
That makes it worth a try.
MIRVed nuclear weapons will land in a particular target zone in quick succession.....but not so quick that you can't or shouldn't try to hit the deck.
Getting out of line of sight of those and behind a wall or something can make a big difference to your gamma dose.
......and Quitters never win and Winners never quit.
Yes, I have iodine pills and betadine that I can rub on. I also have Tums for a calcium supplement. I’m too old to really benefit from iodine but the neighbours have kids so I’ll take one at the start and then give the rest of my pills to them.
The idea was to protect us from flying glass. In second grade they had us push all the desks against the wall with the windows and then we would crawl under the desks. That provided a flat platform that would have protected us fairly well. I don’t think the teachers were all that happy about rearranging the classroom. In third grade we just crawled under our desks where they were regularly placed. That would not have provided much protection.
