Assuming both you and civilization in general survive, get to a hospital for radiation treatment if you can. Otherwise, get as far away from the source of the explosion as fast as you're able.

If you have a Geiger counter, you can use it to judge the safety of food and water sources. (Obviously, having this non-standard item presupposes you were expecting such an eventuality.) A portable hand-cranked radio, such as a camper's radio, could let you know when and where other survivors are located.

Maybe that Geiger counter should be hand cranked too. Or you should build a wide range electroscope radiation survey meter as described in Dean Ing's book Pulling Through. It just requires the ability to generate static electricity to operate it.
