CHAPTER 1

CHECKLIST OF EMERGENCY ACTIONS


* KNOW YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

* Find out from your local government your local plan for
emergency action.

* Determine the specific actions you and members of your
family are expected to take.


* UNDERSTAND NUCLEAR ATTACK HAZARDS (See Chapter 2, page 9)

On the widespread threat of fallout, remember:

* The most dangerous period is the first 24 hours after
fallout arrives. But you might have to use fallout shelter
for up to two weeks.

* Highly dangerous amounts of fallout are visible. They look
like particles of sand or salt.

* There is little danger that adults could inhale or swallow
enough fallout particles to hurt them. Small children,
however, could be injured by drinking contaminated water or
milk.
