Abstract:
This 1951 Federal Civil Defense Administration film warns of the dangers posed by atomic bombs, which wound people in three ways: by blast, heat, and radioactivity. Footage of the devastation caused in Japan at the end of World War II and its aftermath illustrates these points. It is speculated how a similar attack on the United States would unfold, and Americans are advised on the best ways to ensure survival: sheltering in homes, public areas, or at work, stocking up on food and emergency supplies, and procedures to follow in the event of an attack and afterwards.
