1
00:00:36,15 --> 00:00:38,03
Clicking sounds sounds

2
00:00:38,03 --> 00:00:43,23
that reveal the presence of radioactive
the instruments a Geiger counter is

3
00:00:43,23 --> 00:00:48,25
considered a radioactivity in the sounds
we can hear this radioactivity is coming

4
00:00:48,25 --> 00:00:53,35
from a small piece of radioactive material
inside this plastic cylinder the small

5
00:00:53,35 --> 00:00:58,39
amount of radioactivity coming from the
cylinder is harmless the luminous dial on

6
00:00:58,39 --> 00:01:04,44
this watch also gives off radioactive rays
which we get on the Geiger counter even

7
00:01:04,45 --> 00:01:08,63
when there is no radioactive material near
the Geiger counter continues to click

8
00:01:09,32 --> 00:01:13,78
this is caused by cosmic radiation that
continually bombards us from outer space.

9
00:01:14,81 --> 00:01:19,74
But we don't get enough cosmic
radiation to harm us today.

10
00:01:19,82 --> 00:01:25,72
Atomic scientists produce radioactivity
and large amounts of radioactivity

11
00:01:25,73 --> 00:01:31,21
and radioactive materials
have many peacetime uses.

12
00:01:31,23 --> 00:01:37,96
But we know too that they can be
used harmfully. As in atomic bombs.

13
00:01:37,97 --> 00:01:41,17
The chance of your being hurt
by an atomic bomb is slight

14
00:01:41,17 --> 00:01:43,82
but since there is a chance.

15
00:01:44,34 --> 00:01:49,85
You must know how to protect yourself to
protect yourself you have to know what the

16
00:01:49,85 --> 00:01:52,77
bomb does. Besides blast.

17
00:01:52,92 --> 00:01:54,14
There's radioactivity

18
00:01:54,14 --> 00:01:59,43
and heat can we protect ourselves from
these these children are protected.

19
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:04,42
Concrete walls help stop radioactivity
any walls stops the heat.

20
00:02:05,01 --> 00:02:06,41
The heat storage is the house

21
00:02:06,41 --> 00:02:10,59
but does not harm the children
any solid gives some protection.

22
00:02:10,69 --> 00:02:17,59
The figure it is the better we have
the national defenses to intercept

23
00:02:17,59 --> 00:02:22,31
an enemy and we all form a team to
help each other through emergencies.

24
00:02:22,57 --> 00:02:24,65
You are on that team.

25
00:02:26,25 --> 00:02:30,79
So as your family each member
of it and in your community.

26
00:02:32,29 --> 00:02:38,06
Every doctor fireman every
policeman and nurse every lineman

27
00:02:38,06 --> 00:02:40,17
and operator every civil defense worker.

28
00:02:40,53 --> 00:02:45,26
In fact every community employee is
ready to help you if you need it.

29
00:02:46,55 --> 00:02:49,26
So your community is but
paired for the merge in C.S.

30
00:02:49,26 --> 00:02:50,94
and Ready to help other communities

31
00:02:57,70 --> 00:03:00,67
we have state the national
debt gutters for civil defense

32
00:03:02,63 --> 00:03:05,07
and your city as a civil defense corps.

33
00:03:07,53 --> 00:03:11,97
We have a warning system
and a system of defense.

34
00:03:16,00 --> 00:03:21,48
Yes we have the equipment and the people
for an effective team. But like any team.

35
00:03:21,78 --> 00:03:23,46
It can win only one.

36
00:03:23,56 --> 00:03:29,06
Everyone knows his job and
does it well what is your job.

37
00:03:34,68 --> 00:03:36,65
What is the warning siren sounds.

38
00:03:36,69 --> 00:03:42,50
What should you do look for
cover the nearest cover.

39
00:03:42,56 --> 00:03:46,43
Don't try to make it home unless
home is that narrow space to go.

40
00:03:47,77 --> 00:03:49,18
Don't hesitate to find cover

41
00:03:56,04 --> 00:03:58,41
everyone is in on this
strangers will understand.

42
00:04:01,61 --> 00:04:05,92
Finding shelter quickly may save your
life if you can't get into a house just

43
00:04:05,92 --> 00:04:06,62
behind a wall

44
00:04:06,62 --> 00:04:13,54
or on the side where you
from the city civil defense

45
00:04:13,54 --> 00:04:18,78
team will go into action immediately
if you are home you work to do.

46
00:04:21,29 --> 00:04:23,30
I assume the everything fine
upstairs How you doing here.

47
00:04:26,10 --> 00:04:31,09
We repeat cover windows to protect against
the possibility of broken glass heat

48
00:04:31,09 --> 00:04:33,83
down radioactivity turn off fires.

49
00:04:34,38 --> 00:04:35,10
If you are home

50
00:04:35,10 --> 00:04:40,08
and are not assigned to civil defense duties
go to your prepared shelter those who

51
00:04:40,08 --> 00:04:44,02
are in shopping centers go to Arizona where
that is out now will go down the bay

52
00:04:44,02 --> 00:04:45,90
and this practice I
learned we are assuming

53
00:04:45,90 --> 00:04:52,28
that the attack will come on the
waterfront area because it's back.

54
00:04:52,34 --> 00:04:54,05
Now there's just where you're wrong.

55
00:04:54,25 --> 00:04:56,38
We need this practice no
come on us do our job.

56
00:04:56,53 --> 00:04:59,51
That's good thinking we all need practice.

57
00:05:00,68 --> 00:05:05,43
Here's a clean well prepared
shelter in the basement.

58
00:05:07,42 --> 00:05:09,13
Dead in Sioux have a battery radio

59
00:05:10,10 --> 00:05:16,96
and they have a chanst of fat extinguishers
they have other emergency supplies to

60
00:05:16,96 --> 00:05:23,03
a flashlight a look with first aid
kit with plenty of bandages tape

61
00:05:23,03 --> 00:05:29,27
and scissors. A Red Cross first aid book.

62
00:05:29,51 --> 00:05:32,56
A few cans of food a good
supply of water blankets

63
00:05:32,56 --> 00:05:34,53
and an electric lantern in reserve.

64
00:05:34,92 --> 00:05:38,69
You know the stuff would come in
handy on a camping to the garage.

65
00:05:39,05 --> 00:05:46,05
They have a kid at school
they told us we should

66
00:05:46,05 --> 00:05:49,96
be away from windows and behind double
wall. You know like an inside hall.

67
00:05:50,33 --> 00:05:52,89
Ted's right. If you live
in an apartment house.

68
00:05:52,97 --> 00:05:56,45
You can't go to the basement
so that shows that area.

69
00:05:56,52 --> 00:05:59,70
If not is marked for you fine
cover away from windows.

70
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:01,42
Stand in the hallway of possible.

71
00:06:01,51 --> 00:06:08,37
Wait for the all clear beat because if
you're on the playground run for shelter

72
00:06:09,30 --> 00:06:12,46
if you're in the schoolyard
get into the building quickly

73
00:06:12,47 --> 00:06:19,17
but in good order inside go to the shelter

74
00:06:19,17 --> 00:06:24,66
area you've been assigned
take your place on the floor.

75
00:06:25,44 --> 00:06:27,20
There's one good way to protect your eyes

76
00:06:27,20 --> 00:06:34,04
and neck in case of a bombing
wait for the all clear bar

77
00:06:34,05 --> 00:06:38,53
you've been watching the practice drill
but what if there is a balmy bombing

78
00:06:38,53 --> 00:06:42,99
that comes without warning.
What did your job then.

79
00:06:44,90 --> 00:06:50,12
Find cover immediately don't
look at the play stretch out

80
00:06:53,27 --> 00:06:57,64
in about one minute the immediate
danger has passed. Then head first.

81
00:06:57,71 --> 00:06:58,34
Say for cover.

82
00:06:59,89 --> 00:07:06,44
Another bomb may fall yet indoors
if you can shed your outer garments

83
00:07:06,44 --> 00:07:09,04
they may have radioactive
particles on them.

84
00:07:09,05 --> 00:07:15,64
If your home take shelter and stay
down for about one minute by them.

85
00:07:15,69 --> 00:07:22,71
The danger from radioactivity heat in the
blast at best protect your right to neck.

86
00:07:22,73 --> 00:07:24,03
That's just like shock.

87
00:07:26,47 --> 00:07:36,43
Sue found shelter under her bed.

88
00:07:37,36 --> 00:07:41,40
Then. Let's get a better sense.

89
00:07:44,14 --> 00:07:45,27
When the house current is off

90
00:07:45,27 --> 00:07:55,32
that battery radio is
essential keep tuned in.

91
00:07:57,17 --> 00:07:59,91
The air burst of three zero
one pm with zero don't you.

92
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:00,53
Station

93
00:08:00,53 --> 00:08:04,84
and the damage extends from about fourteenth
Street north to as far south as the

94
00:08:04,84 --> 00:08:05,40
front

95
00:08:05,40 --> 00:08:09,28
and then we're lucky what Sepp Blatter
says Now you cover unless you have several

96
00:08:09,28 --> 00:08:09,67
defense.

97
00:08:10,01 --> 00:08:14,29
I've just been handed there's been an
underwater burst of the waterfront water

98
00:08:14,29 --> 00:08:16,81
thrown up by the bomb is
falling is misspent rain

99
00:08:16,81 --> 00:08:22,86
and it is radioactive
radioactive from the river

100
00:08:23,64 --> 00:08:26,90
according to what Ted said that's a very
brave new activity gets into the mix

101
00:08:26,90 --> 00:08:28,81
generator instruction and
it's the most direct get

102
00:08:28,81 --> 00:08:34,69
that you would step to make you very sick.
Certainly with the detergent and water.

103
00:08:36,74 --> 00:08:41,11
It's not like what happens is once he
washes dishes and don't drink tap water.

104
00:08:41,36 --> 00:08:45,85
It may be contaminated.

105
00:08:45,86 --> 00:08:50,69
Dead in sewer waiting for the all clear.

106
00:08:54,72 --> 00:08:57,35
To what it.

107
00:09:00,79 --> 00:09:06,50
Is your broccoli or Mr
Carlson running this across.

108
00:09:07,33 --> 00:09:11,49
This is Mr Frank man already logical
monitor He's here to check for any radio

109
00:09:11,49 --> 00:09:15,39
activity and so your mother down
the shopping center. She's fine.

110
00:09:17,67 --> 00:09:24,60
There's no damage you know
it's been very good here.

111
00:09:24,62 --> 00:09:25,76
You see my dad lately.

112
00:09:26,16 --> 00:09:27,56
He's out of court orders and

113
00:09:27,56 --> 00:09:30,75
but he's really busy you know
there's no radio activity here.

114
00:09:31,83 --> 00:09:37,55
So Mr Franklin pennon your coat
is similar to those similar.

115
00:09:37,69 --> 00:09:39,53
What's a dosimeter.

116
00:09:39,54 --> 00:09:43,72
Well it measures the amount of
radioactivity that I've been exposed to.

117
00:09:43,83 --> 00:09:44,86
But this is the media

118
00:09:44,86 --> 00:09:49,26
that I used to check with them at the craft
is there anything I can do outside the

119
00:09:49,26 --> 00:09:51,16
house now Ted everything is under control.

120
00:09:52,21 --> 00:09:56,03
Just a clear signal is given
you've done a good job. Thank you.

121
00:09:56,08 --> 00:10:01,73
Was customized by good job. That's
what it. Everyone must do to be safe.

122
00:10:03,12 --> 00:10:08,41
Doing a good job means simply following
the rules in an alert or an attack

123
00:10:08,41 --> 00:10:11,62
and waiting until all is clear again

124
00:10:16,25 --> 00:10:16,83
in this fairly

125
00:10:16,83 --> 00:10:23,49
and troubled stage of the atomic age
our very lives may depend on always

126
00:10:23,49 --> 00:10:24,36
being alert.
