In Time of Emergency

A major emergency affecting a large number of people may occur anytime and anywhere.It may be a peacetime disaster such as a flood, tornado, fire, hurricane, blizzard or earthquake. It could be an enemy nuclear attack on the United States.In any type of general disaster, lives can be saved if people are prepared for the emergency, and know what actions to take when it occurs.With the aid of Federal and State governments, cities and counties in all parts of the country are developing their local civil defense systems–the fallout shelters, supporting equipment and emergency plans needed to reduce the loss of life from an enemy attack.
