How can I protect myself from chemical attacks?

To protect yourself from chemical attacks, it is essential to have access to gas masks or respirators that can filter out harmful substances. Ensure that you have a supply of activated charcoal filters, which can absorb chemical agents. Learn how to properly don and seal the gas mask to prevent any leaks. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the symptoms and effects of different chemical agents to identify and respond appropriately. Stockpile decontamination supplies, such as bleach and soap, to cleanse exposed areas.
