The media has blown nuclear effects far out of proportion, most Americans think they are unsurvivable. Unfortunately, our enemies understand that this is not true.
Thirty minutes is not enough time to run to town (and barely enough to get home from work), so I would focus on battening down the hatches, getting everyone home or prepared to shelter in place, filling up containers with water, charging batteries and battery powered devices, unplugging all other electronics, opening the safe and getting weapons and battle rattle distributed and loaded up, putting electronics (less one battery operated radio on the emergency channel) in Faraday containers, repositioning fire extinguishers, extraction tools, and first aid kits, getting some MREs and bottled water handy and ready to move, closing blinds and wetting down the east side of the roof, and checking everyone's go bags. Everyone into the shelter five minutes out. I have a prioritized checklist, just in case.
Worst case is no notice, or too much notice, because the odds are much better of you being killed by the aftermath (or the pre- and post attack runs on Wal-Mart) than the detonation itself.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
