Assuming you are not in the blast radius and avoid the heat flash you just have to last a week or so protected from fallout. It's a lot more survivable than many people think. Potassium iodide pills to protect the thyroid glands, and get as much mass over your head as you can, do what you can to avoid dust, then sit tight for about a week. The half life of most fallout is relatively short.
Most people's issue would be running out of water/food and sanitation issues during that week, especially since most people don't have a weeks worth of supplies (and the government only suggests three days anyway) on hand.

Depending on the blast radius, I think my family would be ok, but we are on Long Island. If I lived in the mountains I think our chances would be much better."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
