Is there any point to prepping for a nuclear situation? There's a document online that goes into the kind of shelter you need, how long to stay there, and stuff like that. I'm talking to my parents about this stuff - and they are older - and is it even worth discussing given how upsetting it is? Like I was even talking about a rendevouz point in case we get separated and there's no communication. We don't live in the same house, but we are in the same city.
I know people say, you will be one of the lucky ones if you go quick. But the human will to live can be very strong, just instinctually, like we don't even know how we will act.

I endorse this response as someone who spent a while obsessively researching nuclear preps after Ukraine popped off. There's definitely potential for a limited nuclear event that will be very survivable if you take a handful of important precautions, and very unpleasant if you take none.
