K. ;lir Raid 1dJ:Eing (The Director of the Georgia Department of Public &>.fety)

(1.) The Air Raid l.Jn.rning system is divided into two parts --the observing phase and the phase of dissemination.

OBSERVATION

The overall direction and training of air observers in Georgia is in the he.nds of the Central Air Defense Command of the United States Ajr Force, with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. They establish the filter centers, and provide the technical personnel to man them. Each filter center requires about 500 volunteers in addition to those from the Air Force, e.nd the supplying of thP-se is a duty of the Civil Defense Director in the city when the filter center is located.

Observation posts are to be located throughout the State of Georgia when possible at an approximate distance of eight miles apart. The location of these posts is the
responsibility of the local Civil Defense Director. He secures an Observation Post Supervisor who assumes respon-

I -6

sibility for the op:Jration of the post, and the securing of enough volunteers to man it 24 hours a dny, when needed. Obviously this will be needed only in case of an nctual emergency. Clubs, classes, and organizations of this sort may assume the operation of an observation post by having one of its members appointed as supervisor. The training of this personnel is a responsibility of the Air Force. The post must be within 60 seconds distance of a telephone. No expense for the telephone will be borne by the Air Force, but long distance calls to the Filter Center to report observations will be borne by them.
!llSEMINATION
The giving of an air raid alarm occurs only at the instigation of the Air Force, and will be under the direction of the Director of Public Safety. After evaluating the information coming to a filter center, they decide if an alarm shall be given, the kind to be given. The Air Force Authority c.'llls the "key" telephone in the Georgia alarm system, and the operator of that telephone who is on duty
24 hours a day passes on the alarm to cities in Georgia
having a population of 30,000 or more. The Civil Defense Director of each of those cities will designate who is to be called, nnd the spreading of the alarm from thnt point on is according to the plan of the local Civil Defense Director. Most cities designate the police department to handle the alarm system.
If it is known that enemy or unidentified airplanes are headed in this direction and are a considerable distance away, a YELLOW alert may be given. At a yellow alert, the public is not informed, but certain key civil defense persons are quietly notified and they may assemble at a previously designated place or take certain actions that will enable them to handle the prospective bombing more expedi~iously. (See General Order No. 6, dated 1 June, 1951). If the planes are less than 15 minutes away a RED alarm may be given. This is passed on to the public
by the sounding of a warbling scream from a siren for
three minutes, or a series of short blasts from a whistle that is not a siren. At this alarm persons exposed to the effects of bombing take the best shelter that may be avail~ able. Air Reid Wardens will put on their identifying insignia and help those seeking shelter. All should stay in their shelters until the "all clear" signal sounds. Police and safety personnel will be especially alert during air raid warnings to see that lives and property are protected. They should be the last to seek shelter.
The qll clear signal is a series of three one minute steady blasts two minutes apart. P.t this signal civil defense personnel will take up their civil defense duties, if there has been a bombing, and others will volunteer

to make themselves useful in assisting the city to recover from the effects of the disaster. If there has been no bombing, all will proceed about their business. Red siren signals will NO'r be transmitted by commercial radio stations of over 1,000 watts power. Commercial radio of all powers and word of mouth may be used to announce the "all clear".
--------- -----
A.R8A DIVISIONS There are at present three areas in Georgia for Civil Defense purposes. Each area has an area director. His duties are to assist the local director in overcoming the natural. apathy that the community may have in contributing their services to the organization of civil defense in the absence of visible danger. The northern area is bounded on the south by the following counties which are part of the northern area; !art County, Madison, Clarke, Oconee, Morgan, Uewton, Butts, Spalding, Coweta and Heard. The central area is bounded on the west and south by these counties which are included in the central area; Pike, Upson, Taylor, Macon, Sumter, Crisp, Wilsox, Dodge, Laurens, Treutlen, Emanuel, Jenkins and Burke. The part of the state south of this central area make up the southern area. The northern area includes the city of Atlanta. The central area includes the cities of Macon and Augusta. The Southern area contains the cities of Columbus and Savannah.

ANNEX II
CRITICAL TARGET AREAS
SECTION I - GENERAL
Critical target areas in the State of Georgia have been designated by the Federal Government, Considerations of security prohibit the publication of a list of these target areas as a ~1rt of this plan. Municipalities in this category have been notified and are pr~paring complete plans to utilize every resource available in their areas. As outlined previously, no target city can be expected to provide completely for its own protection or recovery rfter attack. Such cities will, however, be expected to develop their own defense to the ~ximum extant of their ability to do so. Suggested methods for the organizc.tion of an intornnl defons" system for target cities are discussed in Section IV of this Annex Preparations for interncl defense of a critical target area will be supplemented by partici~~ tion in tho fields of mutur..l-['.id and mobile support, The internnl defense plan of target cities should provide for utilization of both mutual-aid and mobile support forces under provisions of the State Plan.
SECTION II - MUTUAL-AID
Municipclities within o. critical target r.ren should prepare plr..ns emphasizing the principle of mutur.l-r..id within the limitations of crrefully delineated mutunl-r..id zones as established jointly by the Stc.te r,nd municipalities concerned. This mutunl-nid should be covered by written mutm~l-a.id pacts to which the interested communities should subscribe. P.s outlined ln Section IV of the State Civil Defense Plnn, the major city in a critical area, by mutual agreement, should provide l:.:ladership for planning mutunl-nid pacts in order that the entire criticn.l to.rget area may be trected r:.s one integrated unit. Individur:-1 communities within a criticnl target area m[ly prepare group plans which will operate under single diroctors of Civil Defense. However, all plans should recognize the principle of mutuPl-rid and pro-
visions of this mutual-aid should bo covered by mutual-aid pacts. An
important element of these defense pl0ns will be provision for intorstate cooperation with neighboring municipnlities in adjacent states. Inter-stcte pacts covering inter-st~te cooperation on a state-wide basis in the field of mobile support will be negotiated by the State of Georgia.
SECTION III - NOBILE SUPPORT
All communities in ~ crit.icnl target area, togethor with nll . other co:tr.munities, should pc:rticipate in the mobil,:; support progrr..m. By forming mobile support units within a critical target nrea, communities will thereby develop cv-ilable forces to combat the effects of attack r~nywhere in the nroa. Development of the mobilG support program should not conflict with internnl defense plans or mutu.e..l-aid programs, a.nd should be org'lnized under the principles outlined by the st~te.
II- 1

ANNEX III
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION
Tho b~sic opernting responsibility for Civil Defense is in the individuo.l end his locc.J. government. Tha primary responsibilities of communities which nro not in themselves criticnl target nren, will be in the fiolcs of Mutual-Aid, 11obile Support, and Evncuntion Reception. All comn.unities should anticipate the possibility of some form of 11ttnck, ns well as the possibility of their being called upon to receive evncuees from other areas. Remoteness from places considered probably targets of atomic attack does not exempt nny community from playing its pnrt in the ovor-all progrr..m. Every person and every community has a part to play in Civil Defense program.
The Civil Dofense Program in this country must be in constant readiness. In order to provide the essential flexibility and state of preparedness each community should develop its own plr.ns in confor:r.lnnce with State planning requirements. The three fields in which should be conducted nre discussed bolow.
SECTION II - ~~ID
Because no firm prediction cnn be made of nrens which will be attr-cked, every community of over 30,000 population should initiate Jllutur..l-._'lid ngreomonts with surrounding communities. It is suggested th::Y.t in gcnern.l n distnnce of 35 miles is the most pre.cticnble radius for such mutual-c.id zones. Each community will, however, be better able to determine its own mutual-aid region. The State Director nevertheless should be kept informed of e.ll mutur,l-c.id planning as such planning progresses.
SECTION III - MOBILE SUPPOTlT
It is planned to org~nize Mobile Support Tec.ms throughout the Stnte. Since every connnunity h~ts a Civil Defense responsibility, it is planned to have Gr.ch community pcrticipate in this progrc~m to the maximu,"n extent of its ability. The extent of such pr>.rticipntion and the requirements of such items as personnel and equipment will be jointly determined by the State and the community. Criteria for Mobile Support organizations will be forthcoming in the near future.
By their pc.rticipation in the Mobile Support Progr'lm ench community will then hnve available an effective means of self-protection in the c:vent of direct enemy att:::.ck, and at the sr.me time will provide emergency protection on a State-wide basis.
III - 1

SECTION IV - EVACUATION As one means of mnss safety, selective evncuation of population centers might become necessary either beforu or after attack. Because of this disruptive effect upon organized communities ond morale, evacuation priot to attack will bG considered onlz after all other means of insuring me.ss safety have been evaluated. It is probably therefore, that any wide-spread evacuation will be effected only af~ an attack. Should such selectivo evacuation either voluntary or compulsory become necessary, evacuation reception centers must be established in non-critical areas. Planning of evacuation measures will be a responsibility of the State in conjunction with cornrrrunities selected ~s possible evacuation reception centers. Comm1n1ities thus selected will be advised at an early datG in order that joint planning may be expedited.

ANNEX IV

RED CROSS

SECTION I -~SPONSIBILITIES

Governmental responsibility in the time of disaster is, in general, the same as in no~~l times, i.e., the protection of life and property, and the maintenance of repair or public property. Disasters increase the need for meeting these responsibilities promptly and adequntely,. Full cooperation of all e gencies is required to the end that no unnecessary loss of life and property will result.

The American Netionnl Red Cross responsibility in disaster relief is to assist families and individuals to the extent that these needs are disaster caused, and cannot be met by the familites and
individuals themselves.

In general, the responsibilities of the State Government and the Americr.n Red Cross include reinforcing and assisting local units of government and Red Cross in the following functions:

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

a. PURPOSE:

To plan and provide for an effective Civil Defense program which envisages an informed and educated public that thoroughly understands their collective and individual responsibilities, and appreciates the need for cooperative efforto Public understanding and participation in the Civil Defense
program must be based on knowledge of the facts and of the importance of Civil Defense in modern warfare, in order to insure:

(1) Minimum loss of life.

(2) Minimum fear and panic.

(3) liigh public morale~

(4) Full individual participation in Civil Defense activities.

(5) Maximum public support of the war effort.

b. ASSUMPTIONS :

(1) That all news media, public and private communication facilities, and educational institutions will cooperate with the State of Georgia in all phases of Civil Defense planning.

(2) That many individuals in the State will show little or no interest in their responsibilities in an emergencyt thereby necessitating
pre-emerQency programs to be carried out with special skill and vigoro

(3) The public information and education aspects of the Georgia Civil Defense program fall into two categories:

(a) Pre-emergency information and education.

(b) Public information immediately prior to, during, and directly following an emergency.

c. BASIC POLICIES:

(1) A major responsibility of Civil Defense at all levels is to meet
the public demand for information by a central agency to which they can turn for needed guidance.

(2) Consistent with security, the people mu~t be educated through a c0nstant flow of factural information c~ncerning the dangers from a~~mic, biologicalr chemical, and othe= types of wa~:are, as well a~ subve:rsiv~;; activity. Further, the p:-,ople must be informed how effective the Civil Defense program will or will not be against

CIVIL AIR DEFENSE PLAN
INTRffiUCTION
Ti1e State of Georgia's plan for "Civil Aviation in Civil Defense" is based on a plan prepared by representatives from thirteen National Aviation Organiza-
tions meeting, as an Emergency Aviation Cot;ncil (EAC) in 11Jashington, D. c.,
December 12, 1950.
The Plan was prepared:
A,. To establish a procedure for implementing at the State level the basic plan "America's Civil Air Defense'', dated August 26, 1950, which was prepared by the CAA Aviation Development Advisory Committee.
B. To serve as a guide for the organization and operation of State and Local Civil Defense Aviation Organizationso
Co To outline the duties and responsibilities of the State Aeronautic Commission and/or the State Aviation Director and the state and local officials primarily responsible for use and control of Civil Aviation in Civil Defensee
D. To provide criteria for the establishment and operation of Control Airports and a method of securing and controlling the operation of aircraft from both Controlled Airports and other landing areaso
E. To assure the proper identification by CAA of airmen, ai~port operating personnel, and others engaged in activities on airports.
F. To provide for the establishment of communication networks for the dissemination of necessary directives and pertinent information to airports and personnel engaged in Civil Air Defense, and to provide for the necessary tests of facilities, training of personnel and simulated drills to determine the adequacy of the networks to perform the functions for which they are intended.
The EAC in preparing this plan reviewed and took into consideration among other data the original "Plan for the Mobilization of Civil Aviation" prepared by the National Association of State Aviation Officials 9 several individual state plans, the Emergency Aviation Council plan "Civil Air Mobilization", the ADAC plan ''America's Civil Air Defenseu dated August 28, 1950 and the National Security Resources Board blue book "United States Civil Defense".

Introduction

The State of G~orgia Civil Defense officials recognize that ther is a need for a more complete universal program to be followed by the designated units, county or otherwise, to execute the plans in time of enemy attack.

To be effectively followed by the local units, the Department of Civil Defense of Georgia has prepared a guide for Emergency Welfare Services that is based on simplicity, elasticity, and speedy action in the execution.

The principle for complete fuhctioning is based on the assumption that the selected individuals or groups, or units of other governmental or quasigovernmental agencies, given"'responsilililities to carry out the plans will be volunteers who have the natural abi~ity, training, and experience to execute their respective assignments. The volunteers must acquaint themselves with
the specific duties assigned.

A lesser principle but an important one is that the directors of the various Emergency Welfare Service have a complete understanding of each others duties, functions, and procedures. To even a greater degree there must be cooperative underst'andings with the other services of Civil Defense, especially with the Transportation, Evacuation, Communications, and Public Information Services.
The formation of an org~nization to fulfill the duties imposed on. the Em~rgency Welf<,,:e Services does not call for mass meetings in the comml!rity, but rather relies on selected groups to become acquainted with th<:: duti.es, fun..:-,tions and procedt~~:es so that in time of distress this lcadersl!ip will be in pcsi tion to multiply vJi thout handicapping the services.

The problem of caring for people in dist:r:e::.::; ca1SOd by an enemy at tack-

poses many spec i.al p;:c,blems and dcit:ands a well plann<;j oq:pdzation in order

to meet the di:fficult:l.es that will confront an e.ffec:.ted cc:>;:,:uni ty~ The

State of Georg)_;{ pre:::ents the following guide for developing the Emergency

Welfare ServicE.s.

'

In case of an enemy caused disaster, the Civil Defense Emergency Welfare Service progran involves:

1. Emergency Mass Care, including food, clothing, and housing.

2. Care for Special GLoups, the aged, the sick 1 and the institutionalized people

3. Care for ind.ividuals not assigned to ~lass Care

4. Locate missing persons

5. Help re-establish families

The functions of the welfare Service include: r

1. Registration

vtr- 3

2. Emergency Mass Feeding ~
':
3. Emergency housing 4. Emergency clothing 5. Welfare Srvice in evacua.tion . 6. ~Velfare Services in reception areas
7. Services for individuals and families 8. Feeding of Civil Defense workeis on the job 9. Training 10. Information
:Velfare Service in Civil Defense organization is to be shared by local government as well as federal and state. It is assumed that the already existing governmental and quasi-governmental agencies within a cormnuni ty wi 11 be used to their utmost ability.
Civil Defense subdivisions will be prepared to give assistance to each other.
The Civil Defense organization will be responsible for financial arrangements, and will be in control of the overall supervision of all activities.
Operational foin~ Rommended Operational Points
In order to set up organizations to do effective work in the Emergency :Velfare Services of the Georgia Civil OefcnsG, it is necess:uy to designate points for operational units to perform.
It is recommended that the following five operational points be considered by the local director of the ::Jelfare Services in settia up the organization to care for the affected people following an enemy attack;
lo Damaged Point areas. 2. Central Gathering Points. 3. Short time housing points. 4. Enrpute points. . 5. Exteilded Time f-Iousing points.
VII - 4

The following outlines will serve as guides for setting up.,f_l:te Efi1erg~ncy Welfare Services.

1. EQ Damage Point Areas,
'
The ~elfare Services activities will be restricted to a great degree in these damaged area points. iiowever, close understandings should .be made with the warden and other services assigned for the o~erall duty ii t~ese areas~

It is expected that in some instances the services at this point may'take the place of the Gathering Points Services. and that the people will be s~~t direct to the short time points as they are picked up in the damaged areas.

Most certainly, there will be n~~d of services to the Ci~il riefe~se ieams

working in the areas, especially the feeding service. Too, the registration

and individual care may start before at this operational point.

'

It is to be expected that it will be necessary to make arrangements for clothing distribution to a certain extent.

All of the services given will be through the Mobile units, and a close tie up must be made with the Transportation Service. Mobile Canteen Service:
will ,be one of the main operations at this point.

2. For Central Gathering Points.

These will be designated places for the people to gather as quickly as possible in times of enemy attack. Usually it will be done under the persons own momentum. In rare .instances, mobile units may b~ing them to thes.e ,points.

The selected points may be at a park, designated street corners, comrmlnity buildings or other convenient places. The Welfare Services teams will organize around these points and uive a variety of services, mainly clothing, food, and the individual care services. Here a more complete registration, but containing only brief information, will be made. The service groups in charge of giving individual care will be more or less active in arranging for individuals to ~e separated f~om the mass care.

A clo'se understanding must be 'had with the evacuation services.

The time element at these .gathering points will be f~r a very snort du~ation, an hour or so at th~ most. It will be necessary to use mobil~ units of the Welfare Services at this point.

3 ....E.Q!. Short ~ l-Iousing Points.

The time element will be expected to be short, probably only a few h~urso In some instances a longer period may be necessary.

The services at this point must be organized for expedient execution. Complete understanding must be had between the Welfare Services and other Civil Defense Services, especially Evacuation, Medical, and Transportation,
and communication.

VII - 5

Every person will be expected to be registered. Emergency clothing committees will be expected to have sufficient supplies for at least oue change for each person. The food committee will have to have sufficient food for feeding the people for length of time they remain at the point The welfare inquiry set up will have to be well organized to take care of the emergency calls.
It is to be expected that the Individual Services and S~cial Group workers will be very active.
4. For Enroute Points.
The Emergency iJelfare Services activities will be limited at these operational points. It will consist chiefly of feeding the people along the route. One of the main points may be at the railroad stations.
If the distance is great from the short time housing points to the Extended Time Housing points, it may be necessary to establish feeding points enroute. It is expected that the other Emergency I.ilelfare Services, including individual care, nay be needed at these enroute points. It is to be expected that the people enroute will be accompanied by members of the organized Emergency Welfare Services. The Special Groups will need the trained social work<Jrs that are accustomed to handling these people.
5. Extended Time Housing Points
The extended time housing points are to be used to house people until individual care can be arranged. Therefore, many more conveniences will be necessary tha~ that found at the previous stop over points.
It is expected that complete service will be given in the three basic mass care services, housing, food, and clothing. It will be necessary to establish other s~rvices as may be needed to cnrc for the people, including recreation. Through cooperative understandings with other civil defense services, the-medical and health needs will bv arranged as the needs require.
These extended time housing points will be located further back from the affected areas. In some instances the points may be located in other cities.
At these centers the other Emergency ;velfare Services will have special buildings assigned to them. It is ot these points that a great deal of service will be given by the committees assigned to give service to the Spedal Groaps, including the aged and the sick. Here, too, will be found a great deal of activity by the connnittee set up to give Individual Assistance and the re- . establishment of the families to their normal way of living.
The functions, responsibilities and procedures for the various services assigned to do work at these extended housing points will be given under their respective sections.
VII 6

. ,Re,gi stration,. Wel,fare Inquiry and Information Services.
, The R~g:is:tration Seryice for the Emergency Welfare Service~: has two distinct !f~ujor. functions:

The registration procedure should not be complicated. It is a process t.o get certain information regarding individuals and families, and to keep the information in .a useable file~ There should be .cards prepared for ,tht: ~ccording of the registration informntion. The major informn~i.on .recorded should. 'include place, and date of registration, .full names, addresses both pre and post. disaster, ages, degree of injury, place to be evacuated, nar.1e and address of nearest relatives, and some record of t;mergency needs.
'
In recording informatiqn on applications for assistance, additional informution will be needed including record of losses, and service given. Sample registration cards will be found in the Appendix$ectioQo

It ;will be necessary to set up a cei1tral f~ling .system and to make d,uplic<1t0

records of~the cards; one of the nec~ssary~procedures will be to set up q

system of cljssification ond cross references such as a street file; city

directories and Red Books will also prove valuable. If the comrni ttee will use

a simpl(;; business or. social welfare ind(lx system,, the required efficiency will

be given.

.

The com~i tiee should keep in mind that the rc;t.;i strntion will be ne9ded for
all p~rsons affected, especially t~e casualties, pcrso11S separated fr6m their fad lies, homeless, families assembled in Ei:lergoncy Housing, and tiwse applyin~J
for individual assistance.

As ~omplote records as possible should be kept on the unidentified persons. A special form for this recording will be found in the Appendix Section~

This. committee will need worke.rs in the affected zones and th~ gathering

pQint.s. In the otiwr po~nt1,1, simple arrange;.1ents. for tables and chairs at

convenient places will be necessary, m1d simple arrangements made for filing

boxes. In the long term housing potnts, it will'be necessary to arrange for

more conveniences.

,:;

It will be nccessary.,to have a centr:d registra:tion bureau for filing, classification, and info;rm<Hion.

Lous speaker units will be needed as well as two way radio service, The st2ff should be selected from personnel services of business concerns having large personnel staff, social service exchanses, libraries, file clerks, school teachers, and business colleges.

:In g1V1ng interviews for welfare assistance, it is recommended that special staffs be selected fr.om social 'tlielfare agencies~
Welfare Inquiry Gervice
This is an impbrtant service that takes exacting organization. In all disasters til!:' local community is flooded with inquiries cornin~J in from reh;tives and friends. In an enemy attack the duties will be doubled as individuals from the stricken area dll be searching for their relatives, Therefore a complete se-t of files m11st be secured from the Registration Committee or their files must be easily accessible to this cow.niittee.
'This co1mnittce will need mobile units for l.'JOrking in the affectoJ zones and at guthe:rinn points. Physical attangemonts should be made for telecommunication sys terns, ham opera tors' equipment, 'and similal! equipment for receiving nnd send in~ mcssoges,
It will be necessary to have filing conveniences for placing incoming messages and "action taken" information. Loud speaker units wi 11 bo n<.;ed,.;d. All in(!Uirics sho<.~ld be acknowledged ~'Jithin a 12 hour period. If SJ;H>.cific L1formati0i~ needed to st:pply answer to inquiry is not available the inquirer's message should be acknowledged anyway as this will alleviate anxiety and eliminate tnc necessity of additional people traveling to the affected area in search of information regarding friends and relutives.
The staff for the welf3rc inquiry services should be selected from pcrsonnc. services of business concerns having large p~rsonnel staff, socinl service cxch;:ngcs, libraries, file clerks, school teachers, ::1nd busirmss colleges. In addition there will c:lso be need for trained telecommunications and otlwr pcrson:1' trained in an~;wedno o:;t of tot.:r1 5nquiries.

J{laterial Assistance_QJ]d O,lher Hdp to Individuals, Families and
Special Groups
For the Emergency Welfare Services this field of activities will naturally . be Hmi ted to s-hort term, temporary planning. In some instancesr to be sure~ tlle individual family may become rehabilitated so that no further aid will be required to return to the normnl productive activity.
It will simplifyt'mattcrs if the workers will keep in mind that it is an indi1vidual service and not mass care. It is furn~shing the individua.l 1 on qn individual basis outside of mass care unitsc with the immediate necessities. of life, including food, clothing, housing, and fuel. The medical needs will be tuken care of by the medical civil defense organization.
These material necessities are made available so that the indi vidu3l may_ carry on by himself and not become affiliated with the mass care units. Assistance on an individual basis mC~y be given by supplies from stock piles and other resources or by issuance of disbursing orders. In some few certain .instances cash grants mny be given. This help may be needed only a day or may be needed over longer period of time.
In addition to the material assistances, the individual may receive in-formation regarding help available 1 to him and where it may be.obtained~ This advisory service will also include: guidance in settlement of claims; insurance, and other benefits. The guidance clinic will aid the people to become adjusted to the present situation. This category of S8rvice may be given the individual while he is in the m1ss care unit or under medicnl care,
The staff for this service will need to be selected from the clergy, vocational guidance groups, professional social work groups, and persons with ~~~~l training. In many instances qualified business and other educational groups will be of great assistance.
The procedure for g1v1ng material assisiances will include individual interviews and use of advisory committees after the first few hours, However, in the early stnges of the emergency tile workers may find thnt an individual or a family c:an go immediately to friends, relatives, or stay in own home if certain material assistance is made available.
Hw family may need only transportation, ,or merely a food order~ or a chance of clothing. The stnff member must be able to quickly evaluate the. situ.ation an(i,
give the materinl assistnnce- according to the bes.t iuteres:t of the, individual or
family.
1hc local community will have to work. out its own procedure in g1v1ng assistance. It m:Jy be through use of vouchers, disbursing orders, or supplies
VII - 9

from stock rooms or in some cases cash grants. The Appendix A shows recommended forms.
The persons not assigned to mass care needing individual assistance may be divided into the following groups:
1. Persons needing temporary assistance until they can use own resources,
2. Persons already receiving public assistance or other types of assistance from social agencies.
3. Persons made destitute by the enemy attack through loss of resources, including employment.
4. Persons needing information or advisory service, including referrals, counsel and guidance.
Special Service Gro,.tps
Specinl fncilities must be made for caring for the aged, infirm, crippled, new orphans: and other special groups requiring special cnre in private ho1nes. These people should be quickly assigned to places with similar conveniences such as welfare institutions provide.
Surveys of available facilities outside of the affected area must be quicki: made so that people evacunted from the institutions within the nffectcd area and those persons requiring special treutment ii1 private homes may be sent to the new places as soon as possible.
In some instances the housing may have to be used for the specinl group care~ If so, separate rooms and facilities should be provided.
The staff members for this Special Service Groups should be selected from personnel usually assigned to work with those persons. It is essential that the trained staff employed by t;l institution accompany their ruspective groups.
Temporar~~chabilitntion
The temporary reh;:bilitation service will follow the Emergency :Velfnre Services in giving assistance to t:1e affected peopl~. iJ.owevor a great deal of this work will be cnrried on simultaneously with the Emergency Welfare Services.
Emergency Mass Care
The term Emergency Mnss Care in the Emergency Welfare Service program means the care for people gathering in numbers at certain points, or care given on a mass basis to poeple scattered over a wide area immediately following an enemy attack.
In this section the term Mass Care will mean providing housing,food and clothing to tl1e affected people. These people m'"y be in need of all or only some of these services, The lengt:t of term for supplying th&se emorg(;ncy Mass

by the Georgia Civil Defense authorities and officials of other cooperative agencies or organizations.

It is further recornrnended that the local directors of Civil Defense organizations consider using governmental or quasi-governmental agencies or organizations that are deemed qualified to carry out the program of emergency mass care.

Emergency Housing Sectio...n.

:'his is an important Service to be seriously considered in the local Civil Defense planning groups. It ,should be remembered that large n~mbers of people wi 11 need Emergency housing following nn enemy attack. These' people wi 11 be a cross _section of the local population.

It should be kept in mind that there may be few buildings left in the immediate affected area, and that,the nearest suitable buildings to tje point att~ck wi 11 be needed for hospitals. Therefore, it will be necessary for the Ernerge;1cy housing to search for buildings further back, and sometimes move the people to other communities.

Ope~utional Points

For this section of Emergency :Jelfare Services Housing v there wi 11 be only two operational points used.

1. Short ':rime ~;ousing Points

2. Extended Time Sousing Points

There will be a continuous movement from the short time housing points. The people sheltered in the long ti1:1e housing points will remain at various time periods, some may remain for weeks or months .

There wi 11 be a constant effort to r.tove the people from moss h011Sing . facilities to new hon1es, home of relatives and fri(;nds, nnd private selected billets.

The types of mass housing fncilities include:

1. Public buildi~; preferable school buildings. The .other buildings including private owned, to be considered are: Churches, arnories, gymnasiums, f3ctories, office buildings, warehouses, recreation:2l buildings, garages, camp sites, hotels, and motor courts, government

fhe Or.qar.ization

''
There should be an over-all clothing chariman appointed by the director of Emergency Mass Care Services. This chairman should then. :p:noceed to select staff members, There will be need of vice chairman to handle vai.l.ous phases of the job. The chairman will appoint center clothing supervisors w~o will be responsible to the ~ousing point managers, and :ls a member of his staff. He is generally responsible for ordering, receiving, storing, and distributing. The staff .required to work with each supervisor will de;pend to a great extent on the expected number of persons to be clothed.

The Staff may include the following:

1. Retail and wholesale store executives.

,..;

:~ ~

2. Retail and wholesale store clerks.

3. Retail and wholesale store inventory experts.

4, Former Quartermaster Corps personnel. 5~ Dry cleaning and laundry esiablishment personnel.

6. Personnel of tailoring firms.

7. Other agencies or organizations including: A. Church groups. B. Home Economists & Home Demonstration Agents.
C. Red Cross Service Groups.

It has been found th1lt the regular store erilploy<.:cs make tpe best volu_nteors for the clothing distribution. As an illustration, the shoe deportment should be staffed by volunteers recruited from the shoe stores or shoe departments of the larger department stores; the menrs clothing.by volunteers recruited from men's clothing stores; the women's apparel department staffed by volunteers. from women's apparel stores.

It is practical in the established center points to have the social workers staff to send a requisition to the supply store keepers, stating the amomt of clothing needed etc~, and persons routed to the various scctL~ns for selection and fitting.

The same routine should apply to used clothing as well as the new stock supply.

The Surve_y

It is necessary to make surveys as to the potential needs, It is important to make a survey to determine the approximate amount and kind of clothing available

VII - 18.

A practical survey form should be used. The form should include:

It is necessary to have prior understandings with thb owners of tho buildi~gs to be used.

The organization of a clothing center store should follow the general principles of a department store~: , . ,

Used Clothing

Experienced people in handling mass clothing needs in times of d:lsc:ster fir.d

of the handling of used clothing quite expensive and in general ~hsatisfactory.
Strict regulations should ,be installed for the.'Cbntrol requests' for 'used

clothing and only official request should be :recognized by the press ar:d radio.

FEEDING SECTION
Definition
Emergency feeding is the provision of food to persons, who as the result of enemy att1ck, are unable to obtain food or to prepare it for their use. The suggested plan calls for the us~ of public and provate eating establishments, soup kitchens, and mobile canteens or a combinc1tion of these to meet the necc!s. In the more established centers, the plan suggest,s \hat arrangements be made for preparing and securing the food in n :(ashio.n no.t unlike the Army or Navy methods,
It is importnnt to remembEr that Welfar~ Emergency feeding personnel are als1 responsible for arranging for the distribtttion of food supplies in bulk, if neces sary, to persons who are able to prepare food in their own homes. They are also responsible for feeding the Civil Defense workers ~nder emergency conditions.
There is to be no charge or obligation to persons being fed under these emErgency conditions,
Emergency fee:ding may continue to be necesse1ry after the homeless arc placed in billets, in areas where commercial feeding establishments cannot be reached o:r are inadequate.
The Essentinl elements in a good feeding plan.
A good el"'lcrgency feeding plan is one that is ,ll..!!!Q)._g_0 !.Qlllistic_l and fle:~J:~ ::' It must be geared to fit into the locnl situ~tions, and toke into considcrati~n the disturbing c:Jnd:~ tions that must be e:l<pected Jollowing an enemy attack.

EVACUATION
Since evacuation services has such qn important role in Civil Defeaseorganization, especially in connection with Emergency Welfare Services, it seems advisable to include a section on evacuation. in this guide. It is important that Emergency Welfare Services workers unde~staryd the principles involved in evacuation.

Evacuation is the act of transferring people out of.any section to another
section. In the Civil Defense terms it is done on an organized basis~ It involves the movement of poeple to and from the operational points designated in this Guide.

In order for the director of evacuation services to carry out the

evaeuation program, it is necessary for him to know t~e designated operational

points. Therefore, there must be close coope~ation be.tween. the services.

'

'

The control of policy governing evacuation within a local community is the responribillty of the local Civil Defense Direcior and his staff. If evacuation extends beyond the jurisdiction of the local Civil Defense Dir~ctor, the control of the movement will be assumed by the appropriate Civil Defense' authorities.

The local Civil Defense director designates the supervisor of evacuation. This supervisor, thenr formulates his pla'ns in cooperation with the other services.

Some basic principles should be. observed in moving people, including

1. Preserve as far as possible the values of normal group association such as family, the neighborhood, the school, and working groups.

2. Arrange for the material needs of the people, such as food, clothing, housing~ and medical needs.

The group evacuation movement includes arrangement for:

1. The aged, infirmed, and other incapacit~ted persons.

2. Inmates of institutions.

3. Mothers and children.

4. Able bodied men and women, if not needed for local Civil Defense activities,

The Emergeucy Welfare Services must provide for the essential needs of these evacuees until established homes are provided.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DEVELOPING A PLAN OF UNDERSTAl'DING BET;\1EEN THE LOCAL E~1iE:lGENCY WELFilliE SlYICES CIVIL DEFENSE_Q]:VISION~ORGIJ_!2EPARTME~IT OFDEFENSE. Ar:n-
THE LOCAL CHA?TER OF THE ArvlE!UCAN RED CROSS.

This plan of understanding will serve as a guide in principal as to how the Georgia Civil Defense authoritiesmay consider the Red Cross as a potential resource thtciughout the state.

The Red Cross Disaster Services is willing to participate through.its
existinu services to the extent of its ability and resou.cces, and wil1 serve as a unit on a given assignment. The ability and resources vary in the 160 chapters in the State of Georgi1. Therefore due care should be taken'ihat a given community local Civil Defense Director does not request a responsibility thut the local chapter does not have the resources to carry throu~h.

The role of the American National Red Cross in Civil Defense is outlined in
the National Security Resources Board Document' 121/5, .dated f'Jay H3 1950. This
plan of understanding between the Emc:rgency Welfare Services, Civil Defense
Division of the Georgin State Defense and the American Red Cross is based upon the r~ational Security Resources Board document 121/5, and there should be no conflict in the assignments requested and accepted in connection with the Emergency 1~elfare Services.

Nothing contained herein shall in any way limit or affect the natural

disaster responsibility of the American National Red Cross given under its

Congressional Charter.

,

The Guide for the Emergency ~\Telfare Services states that the local civil defense will have the authority to select ,,, other Governmental or Quasigovernmental organizations or agencies, as a unit, to be given the responsibility of carrying out the emergency mass care program~ feeding, clothing, and shelter~ or parts therein for the local community that in case such responsibility is given to an organization or agency, it will operate as a component part of the local civil defense organization, and that the Civil Defense authorities will have tho overall supervisory control the local Civil Defense officials will expect a written pl3n outlining the plans, including duties, fun~tions and
precedures from an organization or agency accepting, as a unit, the responsibility to carry out the Emergency Mess Care Service program in parts thcrsof.

~

In case a plan of understanding is developed on a local basis, the local

American Red Cross chapter would be expected to follow the reconwendations

made in the Guide.

The local Civil Defense officials will make their own request to the individual local Red Cross chapter unit for the services desired in the locnl
plan.

It is important to keep in mind certain important factors in developing the plan of understanding, including

1. Fi n2.!!.. The Government will pny for the program of Emergency Mass Care.

VII - 26

However, the Red Cross may pay for eost incidental to surveying and planning for the Emergency mass care.

2. Lines of Control

a. The Red Cross units will work as component parts of the Emergency Welfare Services, Civil Defense Division, Georgia Department of Defense.

b. The Civil Defense authorities will have the overall supervisory control.

3. Responsibility Contr~l

Great care should be taken that the Red Cross is not assigned nor accepts responsibilities that overtax its ability and resources.

In a given community the Red Cross may have the ability and resources to accept the responsibility for the:

a. Full program of Emergency Mass Care.

b. Parts of the program as a whole, ie, only the feeding, or only the

clothin~, or only the housing, or a combination.



c. A given area or a given housing may be assigned to the Red Cross to carry out the full program or parts thereof of the program.

He will be glad to advise and assist any political subdivision of the State in solving its communication and air raid warning problems upon request,

4. The Coordinator of Communications is authorized to appoint such
persons as he may deem necessary to a "Communications Advisory Council", Members will serve without compensation and are charged with advising the Coordinator concerning communication matters with which he is concerned.

5. The Coordinator of Com~unications is responsible for equipping and operating the State Control Center insofar as communication facilities are concerned. He will also arrange for the recruitment and training of volunteer personnel required for the operation of the Control Center except that each Department Head, cf the various State Departments charged
with Civil Defense responsibilities (see Sec. III, Annex I), will be expected to provide such key assistants as they may require when they take station at the Control Center.

6. The overall communication plan contemplates the following radio nets:

(a) State Control to Area Control, ie., to ten or more
cities, stratigically located, each with a communication area of responsibility consisting of several counties. (Disaster and RACES Nets).

(b) Area Control to counties and cities in area of res-

ponsibility (Public Service frequencies such as Fire

and Police radio nets)o



(c) City Control to services within metropolitan or county
Civil Defense area (Public Service frequencies such as Fire, Policer transportation and other frequencies available to taxis, trucks, etc. RACES frequencies may be used in the VHF and UlW bands and the Citizens Radio bands are also available.

SECTION III
GECRGIA STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION NET
In event of enemy attack on the State of Georgia all available Forestry Commission personnel will immediately man their stations and lookouts and remain on continuous duty until further directed by the Director, State Forestry Commission. During this period all available radio equipment will .be manned and placed in operating condition.
By mutual agreement between the Director, Civil Defense Division, and the Director, Forestry Corrun~ssion, State of Georgia, the communication and other facilities of the Forestry Commission will be made available for use where and when required for Civil Defense. Tpe Director, Civil Defense Division, will install a transmitter and receiver, not to exceed 60 watts in power output and meeting in all respects the technical features of equipment now in use by the Forestry Commission, on the frequency used by that Commission. In event of enemy attack, the Director of the Forestry Commission will make available to Director of Civil Defense the communication facilities of the Forestry Commission for such emergency Civil Defense communications as may be necessary. The Civil Defense Division will relinquish the circuit at the earliest possible moment. During such emergency the Director, State Forestry Commission, will move to the State Control Center or furnish suitable rep:esentatives for handling such emergency matters as may arise and th:2se representatives will also serve on the Staff of the Director, Civil Defense Division, in directing the activities of the Forestry Commission during such emergency.
It is expected that the lookout towers of the Forestry Commission, so located as to have main highways under their view will furnish the Civil Defense Division with reports concerning congestion on those highways, the move ments of mobile support groups from various cities to those cities which have been attacked, and that Hght radio equipped trucks of the Forestry Commission may be utilized to convoy mobile support groups and provide necessary communication facilities for their control.
In the event that the radio installation at State Forestry Commission
Headquarters is disabled by enemy attack, or other disaster, and tue communi-
cation facilities at State Civil Defense Control Center remain in o~eration the lc.tter fc.cilities wUl be nsde available to the State For,:;stry Commission until such time as the Fcestry Commission facilities have been repaired or replaced. The State Forestry Commission has been granted pertnission to remotely control the equipment at the Civil Defense Control Center for use as its Headquarters station in handling normal traffic.

SECTDN VII

RADIO AND TELEPHONE PRJCEDURE: TACTICAL CALL SIGNS: SIGNALS

RADIO AND TELEPHONE PROCEDURE - STATE NETS

During such time as the radio nets of the Georgia Forestry Commissionaild State Ci.vil Defense RACES Net are activated under control of the State Director of Civil Defense the instructions contained in this Section shall be strictly adherred to,

The Georgia Forestry Commission will continue to use its own procedurei abbreviating wherever possible along the lines set down herein. The State Civil Defense Disaster and RACES Nets will use the procedure laid down in this Section exclusively. During a State of Nar, enemy attack, and during such practice drills as the State Coordinator of Communications may direct,
Tactical Call Signs will be :Jsed on the Disaster and RACES Nets. During other drills and training periods the Call Signs assigned by the Federal Communications Commission may be used.

Calls will be made~ Messages will be read through slowly and clearly enough to be copied by pencil. If the sender will write the message as it
is sent the transmitting speed should be adequately controlled. Words difficult to understand may be spelled out if not received on the first transmission. roossages must be written clearly and concisely in the briefest form essential to clarity. The originator will place the time of filing and his initials or name on every message. As all traffic handled during an emergency will be of the utmost importance no attempt will be made, at this
time, to set up a system of priorities. All traffic will be handled with
the least possible delay. State Control will regulate traffic. Long or repeated calls shall not be made. When dispatches are handled by telephone they should be in the same procedure as though handled by radio.

The examples which follow are intended to provide an easy way to learn the !lrocedure:

EXAMPLES

(a) Augusta (3) calls State Control (CD):

CHARLIE DOG - THREE

{Meaning: I have a message for you)

State Control {CD) answers:

TIJREE G.) AllEAlJ or G) AilEAD TllREE (Meaning: Go ahead with your message)

Augusta {3) transmits message clearly and distinctly. Dashes indicate a pause sufficient to give the receiving operator time to write down the words already spoken and to separate parts of the message:

rect Savannah to relay or tell Macon to act as relay station. If it
would cause interference and Savannah (5) cannot wait he shoald use teleryhone to p9ss to h1acon (1) for further relay. The following ex-
am-ple assumes that State Control directed hiacon to act as relay.

Macon (1} calls Savannah (5)

CITY NETS
In planning a communication Net for a City Civil Defense-organization there are certain essentials that must be provided. 'lhe Federal Civil Defense Administration pamphlet "Control tenters" wi 11 serve as a guide from which c.ietailed plans may be formulated as experience is gained. The City Lirector must have adequate communications or his entire organization will become disorganized and confused. It cannot be said that any one section is the most imryortant but it can be safely said that without good communications the other sections will be severely handica?,ed.
The City Lirector must have reliable communication channels to:
(a) The State Director (tele9hone, telety~e, Visaster Net, (b) His Z;me Control Centers (teler>hone, raclio) (c) iilutual Aid Cities and Towns (telephone, teletype, radio) and
to the mobile units they send to his assistance (Note: This does not include Mobile Sup!)ort which is ~mler the jurisdiction of the State Lirector)
(d) The various services under his direction (Telenhone to fixed points, radio to mobile units and roving foot patrols)
Existinc commercial facilities should be 1sed to the limit of their caJacity where available, reservinc radio channels for use with wobile units and to fixed points when wire facilities are disr~pted or overloaded. Uessencers si;o:.tld be avai Iable for areas where commerciai wire and radio facilities are overloaded or non existant. ':'''X machines, installed in lmsiness houses, shoulci not be overlooked in ,lanninJ communication channels to other cities.
tadio facilities of the taxi companies, trucking concerns, and others should be made availa'ble, by advance written a{;reement, and these vehicles assigned to S!Jecific tasks for which they shoulcl re9ort in event of attack. Amateur radio operators who volunteer their services and who are cleared by local, State and Federal Civil Lefense authorities and licensed under RAtES Rules may be permitted to operate their mobile stations in local Givil Defense l~ets by the FtC, in event of war, but wi 11 othert-Jise be required to remain silentr Those who operate mobile and portable equipment on the two and ten meter bands will be rnost valuable and others who offer the use of their station equi~ment for installation in the Control Center, lJpon indication of ap-proaching attack, should be encouraged in this cooryeration. No amateur radio station will be permitted to operate in other than a State of municipal Control Center under war time conditions. Mobile units will not be nermitted to operate in the 40, 80 or 16C meter bands. None of the taxi, truck or other Nets will be of value, however, mless they are tied int~ the Control Center by tele!>hone, inter-communication system, radio or other means so the directing Civil Lefense a~tborities 6an utilize these facilities. Steps must be taken in tar,et cities, to provide outlying alternate radio dispatcher stations for police arid fire departments.
VIII-24

All sp,lications for construction permits and frequencies llnder RACES Rules must be cleared through the_Statfl' and Regional Civil Defense Communication loordinators before the FCC will grant such requests for Civil Cefense installations. Cities s~bmitting such requests must accomoany them with a detailed communication plan,
The radio and telephone procedure on City Nets will be the same, in {;eneral, as that set down for the State-wide Nets. Brevity is essential. As all persons concerned will be extremely busy orovision should be made for the use cif automatic time stamos for recordi~g time of delivery and tirne of receipt. It is not recommended that the.:>e stamps be ~lUrchased but it is probaDle that they can be bon:owed for use durin{! an emergency if ar.ranged for in advance. Persons in the field will have no. time or facilities for kee9ing records. It is therefore the task of the Control Centers to keep such records. ?rovision sho'Jld also be made for serially numbering all dis9atches ha:1ciled, whether by radio or teleph)ne, and for. gathering these dispatches up as soon as they have been acted upo9 and checkej to see that all a~tion has been taken. Attention to thc:se dt:~ailf.: makes o!' bre;-Jks the communication system and the success or failure of the 0~eration. The originator must sign or initial every dispatch sent e~d affix the time of orig~n. 1~e action officer must also initial or sign each messa;e coming to him for action and affix the time it reached him. (See in~tructions on message forms).
Examples follow:
Block Warden number 327 calls his immediate superior, using a walkie talkie.
WARDEN THIRTYTWO l'JARDEN THREE TWJ SEVEN
Warden thirty two answers:
WARDEN THIRTYTWO - WARDEN THREE TW1 SEVEN G.) AHEAD
Block Warden 327 transmits his message:
THE FIRST NATI0NAL BANK 3UILLING THIRD AVENUE ANL JAMES STREET BADLY DAMAGED BY B<JrvlB - FOURTH AND FIFTH FLJORS ON FIRE AB'JUT FIFTY PE0PLE TRAPPED IN BASEWENT - NEED FIRE AND RESCUE EQUIPMENT Il\Jf,JEL lATELY
~arden thirtytwo receipts:
OK THREE TW.J SEVEN - WARDEN TIHRTYTWO
Warden thirtytwo reoorts to his immediate chief who in turn reports to Zone Control which dispatches fire and rescue equipment.
City Communication Jfficers will ore9are detailed orocedure instructions covering all phases of the City Civil Lefe~se organization, basing s~ch procedure on these instructions. They should be a part of the Communication Plan suiJmitted to the State Lirector for approval.
VIII-2 5

TACTICAL CALL SIGNS - CIT! CIVIL DEFENSE NETS
Communications 1fficers on the Staff ofeach City Civil Defense Directorshould prepare Tactical Call Sign List~, in advance of assignment, for u'e in an emerency, clearing such call sign lists with the State CJorainat0r of Cvmmunications for imiformity and to avoid conflict with other assignments.
The system must be simple and easily understood to avoid confusion. It might be well to prepare cards bearing the assigned call and brief examples showing its use, with appropriate brief instructions. In the stre~s of an emergency it is possible that persons using the communication facilities might be excited and forget instructions. With a card at hand containing the assigned call and instruction~ confusi~n and circuit overload might be alleviated. These cards can be issued to each unit, as it reports for duty, by a representative of the Chief of the service under whom.that unit is to serve. This representative should also represent the Staff Communications Officer and be a designated assistant. As the issuing of the cards progresses the Chief of each service must be kept advised of the name, tyoe of unit, and other pertinent data to enable him to assign the unit to duty and keep a record of such assignment so he can direct its activities by radio.
Tactical Call Signs will be assigned as follows:
(a) The call sign of the City Director will be "CHARLIE DOO" followec by the numeral designated under State Tactical Call Sign assignments.
(b) The call sign of the Chief of each service on the Directors Staff will be the name of the service of which he is Chief, Warden, Rescue, Transnortation, Etc.)
{c) The Call signs of subordinate Chiefs will be the same plus one numeral RESCUE )NE, RESCUE TW:), RESCUE TP.REE - WARDEN DNE, WARDEN TWt\ etc)
(d) Assistants to these listed in (c) will bear two n11merals RESCUE ELEVEN, RESCUE T\'JELVE if they are assistant to RESCUE JNE. If assistant to RESCUE Ti'D they would bear RESCUE T~JENTY'NE, RESCUE TWENTYTW:'. etc.)
{e) Units or grou~s under (d), would bear the desir,nator plus three digits, the first digit indicatinu the first subordinate Chief, (c), the second digit the Assistant Chief (d), and the third digit the n~mber of the unit or individual, in the case of handi talkies. It can be extended to four digits in the same manner if necessary.
(f) The Call Signs of the Zone Control Centers, if there be any, will be "ZJNE 0NE," "ZJNE TWJ," etc.
It is not advisable to assign tactical calls to regiliar fire or police units unless the Chiefs of those services desire them as they are organized and functioning on an emergency ~asis at present. Auxiliary units might be assigned new Tactical Calls if considered desirable by the Chiefs concerned.
A message to Main Control "CHARLIE DJG (number)" from "WARDEN THREE" would be delivered to the Chief of the Warden service. The same would apply to other messages. Likewise a message from Main Control or Zone Control to 'TAt-WEN TilREE" would be originated by the Chief or Assistant, as the case might be. These officers would use their own Tactical call only when in the field in their cars or set ury with small portable cquiryment.
VIII-26

Messages by tele?hone will be handled the same as by radio. The Chief of the service answering the phone "WARDEN.'' 11FIRE", "RESCUE" or as the case may be. Message Center personnel wi 11 answer "P.ESSAGE CE~ITER". Radio Room pers onne I wi 11 answer "RADIO", ete.
SIGNALS - CITY NETS Communication Officers on the Staff of the City Director may C:raw U!'l a set of Si0nals to be used within the City Civil t'efense or'anization which will meet the requirements of that service. All signs shall be used in the same manner as those provided for use on the State Nets and must be cleared through the State Coordinator of Communications

COMMlJNICATtONS INSTRUCTION....S

FREQUENCIES

Unfortunately the frequency spectrum is greatly overloaded. There are frequencies available which can be used on a "shared" basis with other services~
It is also possible, by intelligent grouping of existing services, to effect oetter usage of frequencies already assigned.

All requests for frequencies in the oolice and fire services must be

cleared t;1rough a coordinating committee, with offices at r.:iami. This cormnittee

has made a study of frequency usage in the southeastern area anG makes reeom-

meu<lations to the Federal Communications Commission for the assignment of fre-

quencies to cities with a view to r>roviding tl~e best coverage free of interfer-

ence.

.

The best frequency band now available for munici~al Civil Defense channels involving mobile units and handi talkies a~pears to be in the Citizens Radio Service which has just been made available for Civil Defense usage. This band
is ~ractically ~lear at the present time. It is understood that Motorola, General Electric and other large manufacturers are developing base and mobile
equipment and descriptive pamphlets may be obtained from local representatives of those companies. This band should appeal to those municipal Civil Defense agencies who are faced with the problem of oroviding block wardens, and other similar services with mobile and handi talkie equinment. Licenses are easily
and quickly obtained as the local office of the Federal Communications Commission can iss1.1e both construction permits and licenses when approved by State and Federal Regional Civil Defense aJthorities.

As the FCDA will no longer r>rovide matching funds for other than commer-
cial equipment meeting the requirements for use in the ?ublic Safety (Fire, Police, etcl, Industrial and Land Transportation Services, only those freq~en~ cies sho~ld be considered when the procurement of new equipment is contemplated.
These bands consist of the following frequencies:

Ind:tstrial

25.01 to 25.33 me - Base, land mobile
27.28 to 27.54 me - same
29.70 to 29.80 me - same

recommended)

Citizens Radio

460,00 to 470 me - fixed, land mobile

Maritime Mobile

35,04 to 35.20 me - coast, ship, base, land mobile

To obtain the assignment of a frequency in one of the above frequency bands the Communications ufficershould write to or confer with the State
Coordinator of Communications who will take steos to ascertain which of the frequencies can be authorized by the Federal Communications Commission and
forward this information to the Communication Officer submitting the request as quickly as may be possible.

VIII-29

SECTION IX WARNING DEVICES Air Raid Warning devices fall within the province of the Communication ufficer. The State Coordinator of Communications has obtained descriptive pamphlets of all sirens known to him and will make these pamphl~ts av~ilabl~
to any municipal communication officer interested in procuring Air 'Raid Viarn-
ing devices. The State Director does not recommend any particular make of siren, All
models and types known to the State Director appear to be well made and meet Federal specifications.
In selecting Ai~ Raid Warnjng devices it is felt that certain factors should be weigind, n!linely, the need, original cost of equi.'>ment,' co-sts of ).r.atallation, control circuits, power, maintenance, coverage of- the eq'lipment compared to cost of other equipment, its reliabilityo Recurring charges are moat important as they can become a heavy burden on the municir>"aJ: treasury. The tone of the sirens, if they are selected, should be an'important faetor as they should be of a lower freq~ency than the sirens on fire, police and other emergency eq1.dpment or it mJy be found n~cessa::y to p~rcha~e bells for such app~ratuso With these considerations in mind it might be w~ll to consider th~ gasoline driven, low toned sirens or the compressed air or steam whistles, before going on to the electric sirens.
VIII-30

SECTION X
WARNING AND COMMUNICATION
PROCURING EQUIPi\NT WITH FEDERAL MATCHING FUNDS .federal Contributions Manual Noo a~25 is the current authority on obtaining matching funds for Warning and Communications organizational equipment. Copies have been furniS'hed to Directors of all cities of 20,000 population and over. Manicipal Communication Officers should study this manual carefully in planning their communications nets. No matching f~Jnds are available for the purchase of any radio equipment that is not a commercial product meeting FCC reqJirements and "directly usable in such services as Public Safety, Industrial, and Land Transportation Services.u Attention is invited to the fact that the Federal Government deals orily with the States. Municipalities must therefore submit their requests to the State Director who will submit to the Federal Regional Director, if approved, The State Dir~ctor's Staff Officers will assist in any way possible in the preparation of such requests. Informational Letters No. 37, A, B, etc. will keep Directors informed of latest developments in the Matching Funds Program, which is being administered by the State Coordinator of Communications for all services.

WOMEN:S PAHTICIP.H.TIONS IN CIVIL DEFENSE
ERNEST VA~DIVER, DI~EC:(~ State of Georgia
Mrs. John G. Lewis Coordinator of Women's Activities

WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN CIVIL DEFENSE PART I

A. INTRODUCTION

,'

I. Factors and Conditions to be Considered.

1. Erroneous belief on the part of many people that there is no need for Civil Defense.

2. Importance of getting specific elementary information to people and producing action in light of that information.

3. Need for individual citizens to accept personal responsibility.

4. Civil Defense shoulrl be part of our pattern of daily living.
5~ Need for Civil Defense program and action to be.'related to home and family.

II. Advantages of Women and Women's Groups in Civil Defense.

1. Women's natural capabilities fit them for civil defense work.

Care of sick, injured, and children; providing food, clothing,

and shelter are wmnen~s- natural taslcs...



2. Home is. ti:ie center o.f women's heart and inter.es.t.. As women study tb~ subject of. civil defense it will take on definite meaning as related to their own homes and families. This makes sense to women; they will work for the progrnm.

3. Once they are sold on an idea, women a~e a consistenly untiring, and driving force. That kind of force is desperately needed in civil defens0 today.

4. As much as 80% of civil defense may have t(} be don~ by wpmen.

5. Women's clubs and organized groups are set up with programs, committees, facilities and e:~perience to do a job waiting for the call to service. These re~ources are there to be tapped. It is here we may look for influence, leadership and organizational skills which can be used to vastly advance
and benefit civil defense. Through their influence, organi-
zations can do much to get the people to support the Civil Defense Director and his progrsm. The respective groups can influence their own membership to register and train for civil defense work.

B. PURPOSE

I. To attain maximum participation of women in civil defense; to integrate women into established civil defense programs where they are most neede,d and can best serve.

Page 2 Women's Participation in Civil Defense
II. To utulize the potential strength and skill of wbmen and wom~n's organizations in those fields of Civil Defense for which they are especially adapted.
- :III. To coordinate in cooperation with the State Civil Defense Director the work of wom~n's organizationfi in Civil Defense activities throughout the state.
IV . To assist women's organizations in adapting to local needs national
and state programs which their organizations sponsor.
V. To devise plans for disseminating information to all women in tlte state on the need for civil defense, place of women in the program, progress of state plans, etc.
VI. To win public support for civil defense.
C. POLICY
I. State Women's t.dvisory Committee activated as an official division of the State Civil Defense organization will serve in an official advisory capacity, and in consultation with the State Director of Civil Defense willcobrdinate the work with women's ~roups over
the~state.
II. Local Women's Advisory Committees will work on women's activities
with the local Civil Defense Director.
III. Activities guided by Civil Defense Director.
1. It is intended that these committees will serve in whatever capacity needed, as called upon by the Civil Defnese Director. It is vital that all work be coordinated through the office of the Civil Defense Director at all levels.
2. In order to attain maximum benefit from organizations, it is important that the Civil Defense Director guide the energies of those organizations into the direction they should take based upon needs and conditions at each level.
D. ORGANIZATION
I. State Women's Advisory Comraittee for civil defense under direction of State Civil Defense Director.
1. Committees composed of. a chairman and three members from each ! area namely Northern, Central, Southeastern and Southwesteru, who would serve as an Executive Committee and Presidents of statewide women's organizations as well as one or two prominent women not directly connected with any specific organization.

WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN CIVIL DEFENSE PART II
GEORGIA'S HOME AND FAMILY PLAN FOR WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN CIVIL DE~~~SE... '

A ~ractical Project to be Undertaken by all Women's Organizations
'

Until wars are effectually outlawed, measures for safeguarding the civilian

population remain an essential. part- of national security because we Hve in: a

time of international .tension, under the constant threat of war, andin an

air-atomic age when new weapons could cause death and destruction in an untold

scale. Civil Defense is the comprehensive plan which the FederaliGovernment

has developed, with the basic operating responsibility resting in the individual

and his local government, for the protection of the home frollt. It rests upon

the principle of self-protection by the individual, extended to include mutual

aid on the part of groups and communities and is de;sigried to,mirlimize casualties

and war damage and to preserve maximum civilian support of the war effort.

I

I ,'

The Civil Defense Divi~ion of the Department of Defense of the Stage of

Georgia realizing that Civil Defense is the responsibility of every citizen;

and recognizing the need of reaching every area, every community, every home and

every individual in the State with Civil Defe~se; and believinglthe most eff~ct ive way toreabh into the home is thro~gh th~ organizations ofwhi~h the family

is already a member; andknowing that home isthe center of women's heart and

interest, women's organizations are being asked to register, train;and quality

their members in Civil Defense in Self-Protection, Home-Protection, and

Community-Protection.

A. SELF-PROTECTION

I, See to it that every member of each locabunit understands the Civil Defense program and what it means to the security of the individual, home, state and nation by providing:
I. A study program in every local organization of the state on Civil Defense and why it is necessary, and on modern weapons of war and protective measures which will safeguard the individual and the family in ease of war.

2. Civil Defense literature for reading and study.

3. Movies

II. See to it that every member of each organization is enrolled in and completes classes in First ~id and Home Nursing.

B HOME-PROTECT ION

I. See to it that every member of each local unit organizes her family as a self-sustaining unit by

1. Assembling a First Aid Kit and seeing that each member of the family knows how to use it.

2. Being sure that at least one .adult member of the family knows

First Aid.



IX - 6

Page 2 Women's Participation in Civil Defense
3. Being sure that at least one member of the family knows Home Nursing.
4. Selecting the safest part of her home to use as a shelter area.
5. Equiping that "safety spot" with:
a. Water and food supply for three days.
b. First Aid Kit
c. Flashlight
d. Radio (Self-powered)
e. Blankets
f. Material to keep children occupied.
6. Teaching each member of the family the alert signals.
7. Informing each member of the family as to what action to take in event of an attack and holding family practice drills,
8, r.1aking assignments to various members of the family and providing alternates in the event some are not at home.
9. Having the family learn home fire protection,
10. Eliminating all fire hazards in the home,
11. Ilaving all the family know the Block Warden.
12. Selecting a meeting point some miles distant, preferably in a rural area or neighuoring community, in the direction away from the center of the city for the family to meet in the event home is destroyed and instructing its members to wait there at least twenty-four hours.
13~. i\:rranging for a relative or friend in another community to act ns a clearing point for information on the family.
C. cor~1!JiUNITY-PiWTECTION
I. See to it that every member of each local unit registers with her organization as willing to be enrolled at a later date for training and service and that the local Civil Defense Director receives their names.
IX - 7

Page 3 Women's Participation in Civil Defense

II. See to it that every member of each local unit joins the local Civil
Defense Corps and enrolls for training in one of the Civil Defense operational services:

Communic~tions

Police

Transportation

Engineering

Staff

Warden

Fire

Rescue

Welfare

Health

Supply

Ground Observer Corps

III. See to it that every member of each local unit becomes a spokeswoman for Civil Defense in her community and urges her neighbors and friends to study Civil Defense and take the same action she ilas taken.

When every member of every women's organization in the state understands the Civil Defense program and actively participates in that program, Georgia can be justly proud of sharing in strengthening the country's defenses and preserving the historic r,merican way of life, with its
emphasis on peace and productivity and its repugnance for war and destruction, end deserving her heritage of freedom.
