Many people built fallout shelters at their homes, and took classes to learn about radiation.
During the Cold War, families prepared for a potential nuclear attack by building bomb shelters in their backyards, stocking them with food, water, and emergency supplies. They also engaged in civil defense drills, such as "duck and cover" exercises, to practice how to respond in case of an attack. Additionally, some families invested in radios and other communication tools to stay informed about emergency broadcasts. Overall, the emphasis was on self-sufficiency and readiness for an uncertain future.
To prepare people for a possible atomic bomb attack
Many Americans practiced duck-and-cover drills during the Cold War to prepare for a potential nuclear attack. These drills involved taking cover under desks or in designated safe areas to protect against the blast and fallout. Schools and communities often conducted these exercises to familiarize citizens, especially children, with emergency procedures. Additionally, some families built fallout shelters in their homes as a precautionary measure.
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

One cannot prepare to prevent every possible eventuality. One can only be able to respond instantaneously.
