This book was released on 1963 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made of the impact of the 'Fallout Protection' booklet which was published by OCD in December of 1961. While collecting data specific to that objective, other useful information relevant to public information about and attitudes toward civil defense was collected. Report 1 presented data on the accuracy of public knowledge about nuclear attack and civil defense, the favorability of public attitudes toward civil defense measures, other estimates of the public as to the threat of nuclear war and the relative effectiveness of various shelter inducements and inducement agents, and indices of public exposure to shelter information. Report 1 also analyzed attitudinal and demographic correlates of shelter knowledge, beliefs, and plans. This report is the second of a series of four. Data are presented from an analysis of respondents, who were classified into four levels of interest with respect to constructing family shelters. Report 3 will summarize a methodological study which compared the pretest responses of those who responded, refused, or were non-reachable on the post-test. Finally, Report 4 will present the major findings of the impact of the 'Fallout Protection' booklet.

Book excerpt: In summary, then, we can estimate that something less than 13% of the total adult urban population had noticed the booklet, and that something less than 7% had read the booklet thoroughly. Those who read it were those who already were most informed about and favorable toward civil defense, were those who believed that such knowledge would be of help to them, and were those who were in the best position to use the information contained in the booklet. Unfortunately, however, reading the booklet did not seem to be of much help in increasing the level of understanding about or opinions toward the general area of nuclear attack and civil defense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fallout Protection: What to Know and Do About Nuclear Attack The purpose of this booklet is to help save lives if a nuclear attack should ever come to America. The foreign and defense policies of your Government make such an attack highly un likely, and to keep it unlikely is their most important aim. It is for this reason that we have devored so large an effort to creating and maintaining our deterrent forces. However, should a nuclear attack ever occur, certain preparations could mean the difference between life and death for you. The need for preparation - for civil defense - is likely to be with us for a long time, and we mu5t suppress the temptation to reach out hastily for short-term solutions. There is no panacea for protection from nuclear attack. In a major attack upon our country, millions of people would be killed. There appears to be no practical program that would avoid large-scaleloss of life. But an effective program of civil defense could save the lives of millions who would not Otherwise survive. Fallout shelters and related preparations, for example, could greatly reduce the number of casualties. President Kennedy, speaking on July 25, 1961, put it this way: In the event of attack, the lives of those families which are not hit in the nuclear blast and fire can still be saved if they can be warned to take shelter and if that shelter is available. We owe that kind of insurance to our families and to our country. The President was talking about shelter from radioactive fallout. The blast, heat, and fire of a nuclear explosion are appallingly destructive. But radioactive fallout could spread over thousands of square miles, covering a much greater area than the area endangered by fire and blast. Fallout would be a potential killer of millions of unprotected persons, but it also is a hazard that individuals and communities can prepare for through reasonable programs and actions. A fallout shel ter program is one of these. This booklet contains information about a shelter program - what the Federal Government in tends to do, and how State and local governments, and indi vidual citizens can work together to bring it into being as a sound measure of national preparedness.

Download or read book Fallout Shelter written by David Monteyne and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, reacting to U.S. government plans to survey, design, and build fallout shelters, the president of the American Institute of Architects, Philip Will, told the organization’s members that “all practicing architects should prepare themselves to render this vital service to the nation and to their clients.” In an era of nuclear weapons, he argued, architectural expertise could “preserve us from decimation.” In Fallout Shelter, David Monteyne traces the partnership that developed between architects and civil defense authorities during the 1950s and 1960s. Officials in the federal government tasked with protecting American citizens and communities in the event of a nuclear attack relied on architects and urban planners to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of both purpose-built and ad hoc fallout shelters. For architects who participated in this federal effort, their involvement in the national security apparatus granted them expert status in the Cold War. Neither the civil defense bureaucracy nor the architectural profession was monolithic, however, and Monteyne shows that architecture for civil defense was a contested and often inconsistent project, reflecting specific assumptions about race, gender, class, and power. Despite official rhetoric, civil defense planning in the United States was, ultimately, a failure due to a lack of federal funding, contradictions and ambiguities in fallout shelter design, and growing resistance to its political and cultural implications. Yet the partnership between architecture and civil defense, Monteyne argues, helped guide professional design practice and influenced the perception and use of urban and suburban spaces. One result was a much-maligned bunker architecture, which was not so much a particular style as a philosophy of building and urbanism that shifted focus from nuclear annihilation to urban unrest.

Book excerpt: "In an atomic war, blast, heat, and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts. Many more millions-everybody else-could be threatened by radioactive fallout. But most of these could be saved. The purpose of this booklet is to show how to escape death from fallout. Everyone, even those far from a likely target, would need shelter from fallout. Your Federal Government has a shelter policy based on the knowledge that most of those beyond the range of blast and heat will survive if they have adequate protection from fallout." -Author's description.
