Does "And if you’ve got nothing" mean...?

Does "And if you’ve got nothing" mean "and if you got neither the first option's sheltering nor the second option's highter quality shelter"?

Context:

Run! A mathematical model of nuclear fallout suggests that sheltering in place (the first option above) is not always the best survival strategy. If you can reach higher quality shelter in less than 30 minutes (the second option), you should go for it. And if you’ve got nothing, you definitely need to seek shelter immediately (third option).

Thanks.
But what is the third option? Digging a hole to hide? Time is run out then.
