Civil Defense News

Because of major changes in
procedure, the success of Opera
ton Alert 1857" will depend to a
large extent on how well the local
and county civil defense Organiza-
tiOns carry out their assignments,
Lawrence C. Pond, acting for Col.
D. Preston Lee, state civil defense
director, said this week.
The alert-the fourth annual
civil defense training exercise in
meeting problems of nuclear at
tack-will be staged during the
period July S-19.
Pond said that in previous exer-
cises of this type, the attack" in
vance by civil defense officials at
all levels. This information includ-
ed the cities or areas to be ''hit" by
hypothetical nuclear bombs, the ma
ture and extent of the attack, the
location of ground zero, etc.
Since all this information was
known well in advance of the exer-
else, Pond continued, civil defense
organizations at all levels could
plan accordingly. But, for the pur-'
poses of this years alert, he said,
this information will not be re-
vealed to the area or local diree-
tors until the day the hypothetical
nuclear attacks are to take place.
The information will be delivered
to them in sealed envelopes.
In order to preserve the element
Of surprise, Pond said that some of
cne envelopes will be dummies"
so that the mere receipt of such an
envelope will not automatically
mean that a target has been select
ed in the directors area.
The innovations mean, Pond said,
that theoretically at least, the
State and Federal civil defense or
ganizations will not know where
the attacks" have occurred, the
extent of damage or the help need
ed until reported by the local and
county organizations. The speed
with which they do this will deter
mine in large part the success of
the exercise, he added.
Due to the changes made"
Pond said, this years training ex-
ercise should provide a much more
realistic test of the ability of the
civil defense organizations in the
state to meet the problems cOinci-
dental with an actual nuclear at
tack than has been the case in the
past.
1T should also serve as an ex-
cellent test of the new air raid
warning procedures placed in OPP
Grafton in the state Simultaneous
| ly with the activatiOn of the new
national attack warning system on
| May l.
However, since this years ex-
ercise is designed to more closely
simulate actual emergency condi-
/ tiOns, it will require the maximum
cooperation of civil defense or
ganizations at all levels to insure
/ its success"
Pond said that several meetings
of state and area civil defense
officials have already been held for
the purpose of coordinating plans
for participation in the alert and
that others will be held between
now and the time of the alert.
