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
