Fire and Air Raid Signals / Survival Secrets for "A" Bombing


Scary instructions for surviving an atomic bomb blast that were distributed to residents of Lawn, Pennsylvania, in the 1950s.
Fire & Air Raid Signals for Lawn and Vicinity
Fire: 1 sharp blast for 4 minutes.
Air Raid Test Alert: 3 short sharp blasts (not used in case of actual road).
Air Raid Alert: 3-minute continuous fluctuating blasts.
All Clear: 3 1-minute blasts at 2-minute intervals.
6 Survival Secrets for "A" Bombing
1. Try to get shielded. If you have time, get down in basement or subway. If out-of-doors, seek shelter alongside a building.
2. Drop flat on ground or floor. To keep from being tossed about and to lessen the chance of being struck by falling and flying objects.
3. Bury your face in your arms. To protect your face from flash burns.
4. Don't rush outside after a bombing. Wait at least 1 hour for radiation to die down.
5. Avoid food or water in open containers. To avoid radioactive poisoning, stick to canned or bottled food.
6. Don't start rumors. A single rumor might touch off a panic that could cause human casualties.
