GA D400. CS IM1 ~1 951 lcs ANNEX I STATE ORGANIZATION tiON I - GOVERNOR Annex no.1-11 1, Civil Defense --- The Governor by virtue of his office is eharged with theresponsibility of all Civil Defense activities within the State. 2. The Governor by virtue of his office is the Comm'3.nder in Chief of State Military Force, except such portion as may at times be in the service of the United States. a. The Adjutant General, as military secretary and r,hief of Staff to the Commander in Chief and the ailiiinistrative head of the military establishment of the State, is responsible for planlling and employment of State military forces in time of emergency upon direction by the Governor. While the military forces of the State are not directly connected with Civil Defense, it is assumed that in event of an emergency, such forces would be used to complement lavT enforcement agen.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. III - 2 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: ~nmental Responsib~lities American Red Cross Responsibilities !!~cod~ Governmental Agonc~e~ Financed by American Red Cross I Protect persons and property: I Assist in 1.

GENEi{rtL 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 V-1 such activities. A prompt continuous supply of positive information will help prevent widespread misconceptions concerning new weapons and their capabilities4 (3) Careful evaluation and dissemination must be accomplished in the collection and release of news in order that predictions and articles of a sensational nature, which might cause un1ue alarm, will be avoidedo This is of particular importance in times of emergency, when careless handling of the facts may be extremely dangerous to public morale and well-being. (4) All available media, including press, radio, demonstrations, public gatherings and forums, will be utilized to enlist public support of and participation in the Civil Defense programo (5) The activities of volunteer workers will be emphasized in news releases in order to stimulate a sense of pride among those giving their time to Civil Defense. 2. ORGA~liZA'fiON: a. STATE ORGANIZATION: The Chief of the Public Affairs Section will operate under the superVISion of the State Director of Civil Defense, putting into effect the preestablished state-wide information program. b. LOCAL ORGANIZATION: Civil Defense organizations of counties, cities, and metropolitan areas should provide for public information advisors on the staff of each Civil Defense Director. 3. RESPONSIBILITIES: a. STATE: (1) Inventory mass communication facilities within the State in the development of the plan for their use in the event of an emergency. (2) Distribute informational material of a public educational nature received from the Federal Government. (3) Prepnre and publish factual bulletins or pamphlets concerning Civil Defense problems~ (4) Coordinate and plnn all State releases on Civil Defense organization and other activities pertaining to the State organization. (5) Maintain close liaison with local organizations to insure that Qll new developments receive prompt and proper publicity. (6) Tactfully handle all inquiries and correspondence. V-2 b, COUNTY.t. CITY A!'lj_jlETROPOLITAN AHEA: In addition to the activities and duties listed above, the local Dirutors for Information should: (1) Wcrk through local clubs and organizations, local company organizations, and other special media, in addition to newspapers, and radio, in the factual dissemination of information and p~blicity, (2) Prepare plans with local radio stations, newspapers, theaters; and owners of public address vehicles for emergency operations, 4. Ef1Ef!GENCY OPERATIONS: ~'he emergency mission of public information and education officials at all levels is allaying public fears and pr;:,: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.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. Information Scrvic~ This service funetioas similar to the :Jdfarc Inquiry Service. Bowover, addi tiona] information must be made accessible for t:-ds committee, including location of h(msing points, time nnd plsce of t:vacuation movements, locat1on of hospitals, morgues, nnd knowledge of the other services of Lie civil defense organization. There will be little difference in the physical set up for this committee than recommended for the ~Velfure Inc:uiry and r:.euis tration Services. !he Cornmi t tee wi 11 nerd to use mobile equipment to a gre:at exten 1- iil the close in points. Loud speaker u11its and two way radio units will be a ncces~ity. The staff for this service may be selected from a cross section of the community bnscd on qualifications found needed for train, plane, and bus informa~ion personnel. Comm11nication specialists should be included on the staff. Traveler 1s Aid Units will be a good resource for workers. Trnininq PraviJing the foluntcer with t~c fundamental procedures to be folloucd in VII - l) time -of an enemy attack will be the basis of training for the workers for all three of the above named services. Their normal occupations will have given. than the essential background training. 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 VII - 10 Care needs may vary from a few hours or over several weeks. It is expected that planE will be made for providing emergency mass care in tll of the operational point~ (1) imrnedi&te afft:ctcd areae (2) ge1thering points, (3) short time hous:ing points, (4) enroutc points, and (5) extended time housing Joints. - It is rccoinmell.ded that the locc:l community establish facilities for f(:cding tnd b~usingt~o Civ11 DefGnSb w0rke~~D The organization plan rccor:unended cnlls for n director of emergency m:Jss ;are services, 1nd a supervisor of. the food, clothing, nud ilcmSing services.: TJ1e director of Emergency Welfare Service should appoint a coordinntor to vork with the otlwr services of Civil Dt.:fense so that there wi 11 bi.: clear ullderstan~i~gs througho~t the operation. It is recommended thnt a Plan of Understanding be developed between the ~mergency Welfnre Services nnd th(;' Other :civil Defense Services, Likewise the lirector of Emergency hlass Care should develop a Plan of Understanding between the feeding, clothingi and housing uroups. The same should be done between, tlw various services of the Emergenty Welfare Services, including Mass Carej Individual 1nd Special Group Care, Registration, Welfare Inquiry, and Informntion services. It is essenti<:l that all of these mass care services develop a Plan of. Jnderstandfng with Ev~cuatioa Services. ' . Ther'e has been developed recommendations for the organiz;Hion e1nd operntion of each of the emergency mass care services. These will serve as guides to the local cornmnnity units, It is suggested that each of the local comn1unity planning groups follow as ~losely as possible the recommendations found in the following classifications. this will en~1ble the mutual a.ld cind mobile units to work under similar situations, In a war caused disaster the Civil Defense authorities will be responsible for finuncing the program of emergency mass care in the Emergency :velfa:rc Service program. .. ' ~ The Civil D~fcns6 Bulletin~ Genbral Order Number 8, prepared by the Office 0f the Director of Civil Defense for the State of Georgia, attached in the ~ppendix Section, will be used as the official guide in purchasing, renting, and rnquisitioning in event of a~ enemy ntt3ck. The local Civil Defense Director will have the authority 'to select tl1e individual or another organization's !Hii t to be placed in charue of carrying out the emergency mass care program for the loc:::1l community. It is clear!~ ~nderstood thnt in case a~other already organized agericy is selected to be respohsible for carrying out the program of emergency m~ss care or part thereof, it will operate as a component part of the Civil Def(;nse organization VII .:. 11 and t~at the Civil Defense authorities will have the overall supervisory control. The local Civil Defense director will expect a written plan, outlining d~ties, functions, and procedures from an organization or ayency accepting the responsibility to cnrry out the emergency mass care service or part t:wreof e T~e plan to also contain the details suggested for a written plan in the various mnss care services, including feeding, clothing and Emergency housing. ' , I The exhibit section will carry Plans or' Understandings that may be developec 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 VII - 12 housing units. 2. Military Camps 3. Boats and Ships 4. Tent Camps 5. [bilroad facilities, including railroad stations, pullman cars, box cars, and day coaches. 6. Constructed buildings and camps, especially built for housi:lg people affected by enemy attack. }:'he Orqa_nj.zntion Tile Director of tile Emergency Mass Care Services should appoint a chairman to hc:nd up tlw housiug Commit tee. A committee composed of experts and authorities on housing and use of buildings should be selected by the chairman of t!1e Housing Commi ttoE;. The committee selected to make the shelter survey should make a complete list of all the housing facilities within the jurisdiction. Plans of understanding must be developed with other Civil Defense Services, especially the hospital services, The recommended form to be used in the n!ousiGg Survey will be found in the Exhibit Section. It is self-explanatory. There should be written understanding with the owners or responsible officinh regarding the use of the buildings. Tl1erc are certain factors to be considered in the selection of the buildings or camp sites for bousing use. Among the most important are: 1. Water supply 2. Fire protection 3. ~Iealthful location 4, Space for sleeping, feeding, infirnK1ry services, and personnel offic;:;s, 5. Heating and lighting 6. Sanitary facilities 7. Structural soimduess 0. Safe location from danger areas 9. Accessibility to transportetion 10. Usability at all times, and proper undetstanding available '!his includes: 1. Cots or beds 2. Bedding 3. Po~tnblc generators, and other emergency lighting equipment 4. Stoves or other heating facilities 5. Cooking equipment, including serving utensils 6. Chairs and tables 7. Public address systems 8. Infirmary supplies 9. Laundry facilities 10. Recreational equipment 11. :rvater tanks, or drinking utensils 12. Cleaning supplies 13, Carpenter and plumbing tools 14. Telephone facilities The surveys should contain the name, address and phone numbers of persons to be contacted f9r usc, of buildings and for equipment. These surveys should be compiled and consolidated. Organization of Emergency !Jorsing Operation Personnel At each emergency housing there should be a housing supervisor who has complete charge of the operation of the housing unit. He is responsible to the director of Housing Services. The housing supervisor will appoint assistant supervisors after consultatior with directors of other services, to be in charge of various services, including sleeping arrangements, feeding arrangements, supplies, infirmary, recreatiou, clothing, and conduct. The housing supervisor will make nrrangements for space and other fr1cilitier: for the use of the other Emergency Welfare Services Units, including individual care, special yroup care, registration, welfare inquiry, and information, The person~el should be selected from persons experienced in the ~ryrticu!ar field of duties for the assignment. These fields of duty iacludc ca:np directvrE. hotel managers, school administrators, leaders of Soy Scout groups 1 agricul turn.: organizations, public housing officials. The persons for carrying out the detni. of the emergency housing unit should be selected on basis of their qualificatlO!lS to meet the need for the particular job assigned. The Exhibit Section of th1s plnn will c:~rry tables showing nC~mber of personnel needed for the housing units, according to number of persons houscd?etc It will be aecess:Jry to instnll a system of reporting nnd to fon1 a plan of uadcrs tanding with other service.s of the Civil Defense organizadon. ''Jritten Plcm It is necessary for the fvlass' ~ousing Service Committee to p~epare a written plan, brief but to the point. This plan should include: 1. List of buildings, and location, givirig cnp~city type, ownership, structural and other data considered important to. the carrying out of the housing plans. 2, List of names, address, aad phone numbers for - VII - 14 a. Custodians of buildings b. Alternate custodian of building c. Housing supervisor and assistants d. Housing staff members a. Directors or supervisors of other Emergency Welfare Services~ Directors of other Civil Defense Services, including evacuation, transportation. f. Supervisors of feeding and clothing services 3. Outline of functions and procedures 4. Chart showing complete organizations for the local Civil Defense organization. It is recommended that the Housing Committee prepare a bulletin on instructions to be followed in time of eAemy att3ck. Traini..!ll!. The training for this Mass Housing Sorvice should include the: 1. Understanding of the duties, functions, and procedures to be followed in time of enemy attack. 2. Understanding of the duties, functions, and procedures of other Civil Defense Services. THE f~;lOdiLIZATION OF nlli EMEt~GENCY I!OUSING COiU~JIT'fEE The director of Housing facilities is responsible for alerting and mobilizing his staff. He should report to the Civil Defense headquarters without dealy in order to supervise the entire housing. operation. He should immediately make contact with his assistants and the ho~sing supervisors. As soon as the decision is made to open a given housing unit his assistan::~ should proceed to notify the housing sgpervisors to alert their assigned staff to report to their respective buildings or locations. The housing supervisors should be notified of the approximate number of people expected to be sent to a given shelter location. The director of housing should confer with directors of other emergency welfare services in order to set up a simultQneous activity. :EHE OPENING OF Tl.lli..)IOUS ING l}tHT The directors of other Civil Defense services are notified of the location of the various housing units to bo opened along with information as to capacity and accommodations. The local housing supervisors or housing mJnagers ere responsible for securing supplies .and equipment, arranging for heating, lighting, cooking, sanitary facilities, police protection, water~ infirmary, and for otber ~a~erials ~: VII - 15 services neehed. H~ must coordinate the woik of other se~~i6es tailed into attion under his shel'ter facilities~ The- housing: manager must allot sp~ce for the use of other emergency welfare services. The duties of ft6using manager include: L Obtaining workers to operate the hous'lng. for 24 hour per day service. 2. Establishing and enforcing safety and ~ire regulations in the hbutin~, 3, Arranging for adequate. police protection ... l . 4.

There should be at least 40 square feet per person~ 2. Separate qunrtcrs should be provided for men and women except in cases where family units are housed together. 3. Arrangements made for as much privacy as possible by such means as cardboard or blanket partitions~ 4. Arrangemen.ts sqoul.d ~e m~de. tQ have ~eprn:ate quarters fbr aged e chronically iii; :or other .special groups. Special care should be ~rranged for these classes including medical care and food. 5. Arrangements for separate toilet facilities for men and women with minimum requirement of 4 toilet seints. Damaged area' points. . Sufficient clothing or clothing substitutes (blankets, sheetsij yard goods' must be availabl<;: .to ,replace contaminated garments. Many people will n~:; 1 from their homes without sufficient clothing. 2. Gathering points. The same situations may occ1;1r at the gathering points as in the damaged areas, The same plans should be made. In addition, there may be need to supply the individuals with a more complete outfit. Here again the Services will need to use motor conveyance for ca:n:ying the supplies from one point to another. In.otber words, a sto~e on wheels will need to be arranged for. 3. ' , Short . . , 'L . time housing. point. The clothing needs will be furnished on a complete one change outfit ba~is.-, ~t may be that individuals leaving .. the muss care service will need to be.qompletcly furnished . It will be expected tbat 'a stock room will.be set up at these points. 4. Enroute points, . . Very little clothihg need will be expected at these points. The local community, whe:t;e stops are made,. will no. doubt add to'the persons cloth- ing supply. 5. Extended housing points. . , . It is at these points that the people will be provided with complete out- fits .ir.cluding changesl an.d. will be c;~ble to select sizes, colors, and designs insofar as volume will permit. As a general' policy clothing issuance at these operational centers should be restricted to necessities sufficient to carry the person,until. he :can secure his clothing through normal trade channels. ",,. 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: .. : I. List of wholesale and retail clothing establishments, giving approximat~ stocks on hand. 2, List should include name of firm 0 address, phone numbers; name of persons to be contacted (both day and night)~ addresses and phone numbers. ~ . : Surv,ey ,of buildings for clothing centers giv-ing name and address of j; huild;i.ngs, names 1 addresses, and phone :nttmbers of persons, to cont'ilct for. opening the buildings, the size of buildings should be li~ted albng with . ; ' available equipment. If clothing center is to be located within the mass shelter, the desig.nated room should be listed~ urvey of Personnel be List of names, specialty, address, phone numbers. These should broken down by classification such as managers, clerks, file clerks, inventory clerks 1 etc. Other 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. However, in case used clothing is requested due caution should be taken as to meeting the Health Department_s regulation .:as';tocsnnitary clc3ning. A great deal of c lathing wi 11 need. to .:oe renovated J ,,1 '> and alassif..i,t~d ~ ' .J I. The personnel for tlte usJd C'lothin.g section may be .sEOHected from the above suggested groups. . Individual Purchasing Just as so0n as possible, the person should be given a disbursing order to the store of his choice and make his own selection.; ' ... Training I:-wsmuch as the personnel for handling clothing is alrondy trained, it is only necessary to point out the procedures to follow. VII - 19 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.

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. VII - 25 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.

VIII-14 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.)

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.

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.

AHEAD Block Warden 327 transmits his message: THE FIRST NATI0NAL BANK 3UILLING THIRD AVENUE ANL JAMES STREET BADLY DAMAGED BY Broviding 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 30.56 to 32.00 me - same 33.14 to 33.3(; me - same 35.00 to 35.1Cmc- same 3"1.46 to 37.(;6 me - same 43.00 to 43.20 me - same 47.70 to 49.9 me - same 152.67 to 153.71 me- same 154.49 to 154.57 me - same 156.13 to 15.43 me - same 173.20 to 173.40 me - base, fixed, land mobile 456.05 to 457.95 me - base, land mobile V III-2'8 Public Safety 31,18 to 31.98 me - base, land mobile 33,02 to 33,10 me - same 33,42 to 33.98'mc- same 37.02 to 37.42 me - same 37.90 to 37.98 me - same 39.02 to 39.98 me same 42,02 to 42.94 me - same 44,62 to 47.66 me - same 153,77 to 154,43 me- same 154.65 to 156.21 me - same 158.73 to 159.45 me- same 454,05 to 455,95 me - same Land Transportation 30,66 to 31.14 me - base, land mobile 35.70 to 35,98 me- same 43,70 to 43.98 me- same 44.02 to 44,58 me - same 152.27 to 152,45 me - same 159.51 to 161,79 me- same (many restrictions, not 452.45 to 453.95 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. VIII-31 GE 0 RG I A P L AN ANNEX IX 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.

' 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.

The State organ~zation for Civil Defense provides that the State Highway Department has the primary responsibility at State level for engineer inu and rescue services in Civil Defense (See Annex #1, State Or{lanization)., II. PURPOSE: A,. To provide for the mobilization, coordination and operation of all engineering facilities, resotrees and personnel within the State to combat and minimize the effects of peace-time catastrophe or enemy action atainst civilian population, ~~ To delineate responsibility and establish mutual understanding of the a1thority, responsijility. functions and operations of the various levels of 00vernmental a0encies and other organizations in the matters of engineering and resc~e services in Civil DefenseQ c. To assist and coordinate the procurement and assignment of personnel, equipment and supplies. D. To maintain inventories of emergency eq1ipment and personnel available from government agencies nnd private enterprise for use curing and after an emeruency. III. f\?SUMPTIONS: A. That large metropolitan areas, with their industrial centers and distribution facilities would be the prime tartzet of enemy action. B. That the normal construction, maintenance and personnel organization within any community would be too inadequate to fully cope with problems that could arise from enemy attack. IV BASIC POLICIES: A. The basic principal of civil defense is self-protection by the individual extended to include mutual self~protection on the part of groups or comm'.tnities, each service of civil defense working in cooperation with others for the common good. '3, r.:aintenance of current inventory and evaluation of all existing en~ineering reso~rces of the State, whereby a plan can be developed to - 1- organize and utilize the reso~rces to effect rapid recovery from enemy action. The utilization of these resources may be on either public or private property in the interest of the common good. Engineering and rescue will generally incl~de: a. State, county and municipal highway and public works departments. o. Utility companies. c. Engineering and construction equipment and material distributcrs and dealers. dv State, county and city planning authorities, e. Contractors and construction personnel. c. The local Civil Defense Organizations, within the limits of their means, shall meet their local needs in an emergency~ They shall receive O'.ltside aid or contrib1te support to ne::~rby strici\en communities under the direction of the State Director of Engineering and Rescue Services. D~ Personnel shall normally be assigned to tasks for which they are best q11alified. E. Employees of all engineering resources shall be encouraged to attend Civil Cefense meetings, lectures, training courses, etc., in their vario:ts communi ties to acq1aint ttemselves and keep abreast with the Civil Defense pror,ram. F. l~hile it is important that all Civil Defense activities make maxim1m use of volunteer personnel, it is vital to the functioning of the Civil Defense activities of the Ilighway Department and p1blic utili ties that a large portion of the personnel of those ot~;anizations be available on call at all times. This applies especially to operating and maintenance personnel, an exception being made for th;se employees who by special training~ are q~alified for other particular d~ties under the Civil Defense program.
