will be no A-bomb or M-bomb war. However, there is little question about the possibility of such an attack. Our enemies have the weapons and ways to deliver them. We must, as a naton, be prepared for attack—and by prepared to withstand attack, we reduce the probability that an attack will be made.
What is our civil defense situation ?If the big cities are destroyed, will we be ready to “go it alone?”
We can be. But it means planning and preparing how. And this plannng and preparing can best be done through the medium of a strong local civil defense organization.
However, our civil defense can only be as strong as you and your neighbors make it. Civil defense, in its initial phase, s primarily a matter of self- defense. Individuals and families must be prepared to survive any emergency, whether it be a natural disaster or the result of nuclear warfare. The civil defense organization is ready to help you learn the rules of personal survival, through its information booklets and special training classes.
Once you have prepared for personal survival, you will want to know that the community and the nation are adequately organized for survival. And when you and enough others like you begin to take an active interest in seeing that our community has the right kind of civil defense organization, we will be well started toward the building of a civil defense that will be able to meet the test, if an emergency' occurs.
