This book was released on 1971 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigated responses made by adults in Des Moines, Iowa, to the Community Shelter Plan (CSP). A total of 938 interviews were completed during the study. This included adequate control samples before and after publication of CSP as well as panels. One panel was initiated before CSP, other were continued from the researchers' earlier Home Fallout Protection Survey study. The CSP message included a plan allocating public fallout shelters to residents based on place of residence. It was published in the form of a 12-page Sunday newspaper advertising supplement. Attention given the message was about average with similar supplements (slightly less than half of the total audience), but comprehension of the plan was low. Only seven percent of our control sample could recall the name or location of a shelter allocated for his use and only four percent could recall how they were instructed to travel to the shelter. Acceptance responses were low. A slight increase was observed in level of knowledge about a local civil defense program and in the anticipatory decision to concurrently adopt public or home shelter protection alternatives. The dispositional model did not hold well in predicting attention to CSP, but did hold in predicting comprehension and acceptance responses. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigated responses made by adults in the City of Rochester and Olmsted County, Minnesota to a Community Shelter Plan (CSP) and to OCD booklet H-14, 'In Time of Emergency.' A total of 493 interviews were completed during the study. This included independent control samples before and after CSP as well as a panel of 97 persons interviewed at both time periods. The CSP plan allocated public fallout shelters to residents based on their place of residence. Attention was adequate. Seventy-four percent were aware of receiving CSP materials and half read some of either the CSP maps or booklet H-14. Comprehension was less adequate, however. Only half the readers (24 percent of the total population) could correctly identify the shelter which the plan assigned them. Attitudes formed toward the CSP program were extremely favorable, but little change in behavior resulted. A slight increase was observed in attitudes toward shelters. No net change in adoption of either home or public shelters was found although a number of individuals switched their positions. (Author).
