WHAT CIVIL DEFENSE
MEANS TO ME
Today there are many problems
on the face of the earth that have
to be solved that didn’t exist be
fore. One of these major problems
of the modern world is civil de
fense. Civil defense is one of the
most important factors in our daily
life in America. There are many
parts to this program some of
which I shall mention: public wel
fare, shelter protection, warden
service, mutual aid and mobile
support, fire fighting services,
transportation, health services and
special weapons defense, rescue
service, police services, civil de
fense for industry, supply service
A civil i defense program is a
necessity today because of new
weapons in the air-atomic age, a
sneak enemy atack, and because
our lives, industries, natural re
sources, and security must be
protected.
Civil defense is important in
each individual state. The state
civil defense program consists of
mainly: the Governor, The Advis
ory Council, The Civil Defense
Director, The Deputy Director,
public affairs, and Legal Council.
There are also many officials of
civil defense in local surroundings
such as; the Mayor or Chief
Executive, The Advisory Council,
The Civil Defense Director, - The
Deputy Director, public affairs, and
Legal Councils.
The local civil defense adminis
trator has important duties. Some
of these are:
1- To establish and direct op
eration of local civil defense or
ganisation. \
2- To coordinate and direct lo
cal civil defense activities of pub
lic and private agencies or groups.
3- Formulate and negotiate mu
tual aid plans and agreements.
4- Direct the program in ac
cordance with State and Federal
plans.
5- Establish primary and one or
more secondary control centers to
serve as command posts during
an emergency.
The duties of the local control
center are: to receive and dis
seminate air-raid warnings, alert
the various services, to marshal
and disperse civil defense services,
to warn the public to take shelter,
to order the civil defense into
action, to assess the nature and
scope of damage.
The training for civil defense
is a national project. It builds a
firm training program, makes
training policies and plans, pro-
vides good guidance, and operates
a staff college for key civil de
fense authorities at state and
regional levels.
One of the main jobs of civil
defense is to protect our country
from possible atomic attack. Civil
defense is the action of saving
lives and property. It protects
the people and industry of the
United States. It keeps the people
going and industry working in
spite of atomic, biological, or
chemical warfare. One of the chief
aims of civil defense is to keep
the people working if at all pos
sible because work strengthens
a, nation by keeping up factories
and other war equipment factor
ies. People working together is
the background of a strong de
fense.
Whether people can realize it
or not America can be attacked at
any time although it has had an
overwhelming success sa far.
Planes can« reach every city in
the United States. Russia, which
is about the main agressor today,
has a very dangerous bomber
which is much like our own B-29’s
Russia has the atomic bomb, she
knows how to use biological war
fare, and she has the very dan
gerous gases. Atomic bombs, di
sease, and gas could be brought
to America any moment today.
What is worse is there are Rus
sian agents in our country that
could wage germ warfare right
in our own back yards.
Now, there is a question of how
well we could defend ourselves
in case of an emergency. There
is no way that we can prevent
bombers from entering our coun
try. It is estimated that seven out
of ten planes would get through.
This doesn’t mean that we don’t
have a good anti-craft program be
cause we do. But the entire
strength of Germany’s anti-craft
battery was not sufficient to stop
our planes. We lost fewer than
ten out of each hundred. We can
be sure to always do our best and
this is why we must have civil
defense.
One of the great worries in the
minds of our citizens today is:
“What if a bomb should be drop
ped here?” First,, thousands would
be killed and many more trapped
and buried* in the wreckage. Fires
would destroy the necessities such
as food, water supply, communi
cation, transportation, and cloth
ing. This would leave thousands
homeless.
We remember some things and
some things we don’t. It looks as
if we forget that civil defense
holds the citizens responsible. The
state and federal laws are no
good without the help of the citi
zens backing them up.
If a bomb were to fall it would
fall on the people in your family
and many others too. It you were
informed on civil defense and had
studied it you would know what
to do. You would know how to take
good care of the wounded.
Our armed forces is one of the
most thought of defenses. .Our
forces’ aim is to win wars by car
rying attack to the enemy. Civil
defense isn’t their responsibility,
but the people’s as a whole.
Civil defense helps the people
in a most important way. It warns
and gets people ready for attack
in case of one. It arranges for
shelter, operates warning signals,
gets necessary medical supplies,
and sends help to the stricken area.
Communications is almost like
the nerves of the body in defense.
It provides contact with other
parts of the world in which we
could get help. Control centers
keep in touch with one another
day in and day out so as to know
if everything’s all right in the
country or not. Some main
sources of communication are:
radio, television, telephone and
telegraph.
