How can one protect themselves from chemical warfare?

### REPLY:
To protect oneself from chemical warfare, it is crucial to have access to a fully functional gas mask with appropriate filters capable of blocking specific chemical agents. It is also recommended to have a stockpile of decontamination agents, such as bleach or potassium permanganate, to neutralize chemical agents on the skin or surfaces. Additionally, knowledge of chemical detection equipment, such as colorimetric test kits, can aid in identifying potential threats.
