2. Make sure you know the difference between the Attack Warning Signal
and the Attention or Alert Signal (if both are used in your community). DURING AN EMERGENCY 1. When you hear the warning signals, or warning information is broadcast, take prompt action. 2. If the Attack Warning Signal sounds, go to a fallout shelter immediately (unless your local government has told you to do something else). After you are in shelter, listen to a radio for more information and instructions. 3. If there is no public or private shelter you can go to, try to improvise some fallout protection. As a last resort, take cover in the best available place. 4. If there should be a nuclear flash--especially if you feel the warmth from it--take cover _instantly_, and then move to a fallout shelter later. KNOW ABOUT WARNING An enemy attack on the United States probably would be preceded by a period of international tension or crisis. This crisis period would help alert all citizens to the _possibility_ of attack. If an attack actually occurs, it is almost certain that incoming enemy planes and missiles would be detected by our networks of warning |
