Robot Bomb
Attacks
Directive
Instructions And Warn.
ing Issued To Civil
ian Defence

TIE following directive was receiy-
ed recently and it is made public SO
as to reach everyone connected with
the Civilian Defense Services. The in
structions should also be of interest
to the general public Such attacks
are possible, so the warning and
preparation is timely.
The Protective Services of Civilian
Defense of Maryland are we'll organ
lied, trained and equipped, and while
they have been on a standby basis
for several months, it is not feared
tEat they will not give good account
OF themselves If robot or flying
bomb attack is attempted. But to be
sure that we are ready for any emer-
gency, either war-caused or natural
disaster, the Chiefs of the following
services should be prepared to mobil-
ize their services if such an emergen-
cy should occur-Emergency Medi-
cal Service, Wardens, Auxiliary Po-
lice, Auxiliary Firemen, Red Cross,
Demolition Units, Rescue Units, EN-
Urgency Welfare Services, Utility Re-
pair Crews and Gas Officers. The
Chiefs OF the above services should
| contact their units to determine their
condition and how soon they can re-
spond to an emergency
II robot bomb attack is made.
there will be no warning of any kind
in advance of its striking and as such
an attack is a war-caused disaster,
the Director or Commander of the
Civilian Defense Corps in the area in
which the bombs will strike will take
charge.
The nature of the work to be per-
formed by the Protective Services of
Civilian Defense will be of cleaning
UP nature, and taking care of any
killed or injured personnel.
In areas where robot bombs may
fall, the city or ee1nty Control Cen
ters will be aIerted and such report
centers as may be necessary to han
die the situation. The, alerting of
Control and Report Centers and mo-
bilization of the Protective Services
will be by telephone, as air raid sig
nails will not be sounded.
VERY IMPORTANT Air raid signals
Will not be sounded unless it is a real
air raid or unless the bombing has
taken such proportions that the Di-
rector of the Civilian Defense Corps
at the scene of the incident deems
such warning necessary. Under no
circumstances should the air raid
alarm signal be sounded unless it is
absolutely necessary to do SO, and
this only with the approval of the
Local Commander.
Things To Remember
1. You have all been instructed
what to do in case of an air raid when
bombs fall. The same instructions
apply to robot bombing.
2. Keep away from the scene of the
explosion.
8. Damage from robot bomb is
chiefly by blast in a radius up to 600
feet, or city block. Look out for
lying glass and damaged buildings.
A. VERY IMPORTANT. Keep away
from telephones as the lines may be
| necessary for the use of authorities.
5. Keep your radio tuned in to a
local station for information and
guidance.
6. Obey strictly the orders of the
local authorities and Civilian Defense
personnel.
Z. Under all circumstances, be
calm. Do not get panicky.
