  • Persuaded to Prepare: Rhetoric and a Cold War Fallout Shelter

    Persuaded to Prepare: Rhetoric and a Cold War Fallout Shelter

    PERSUADED TO PREPARE: RHETORIC AND A COLD WAR FALLOUT SHELTER By Carol M. Hollar-Zwick Between 1958 and 1962, at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, a Wisconsin physician collected government pamphlets on civil defense, articles from medical journals and news magazines, and other information on radioactive fallout and fallout shelters. He assembled the documents in a three-ring binder, which he stored in the fallout shelter that he designed and had constructed in the back yard of his home in July 1960. The physician responded to a rhetoric of preparation from the federal and state governments and from his profession to prepare for nuclear war, a campaign of persuasive education that stood in for what would have been a tremendously expensive and less-than-guaranteed system of public shelters. Designed to induce American households to build private fallout shelters in their basements and yards, preparedness rhetoric combined fear of death in nuclear attack and assurance of survival through preparation. He was one of few who acted; most Americans throughout the 1950s ignored the government’s exhortations to do the same. The historical contexts of the documents, the way the documents reached the physician, the arguments the documents made, and his response to the arguments are discussed in this thesis. Using historical accounts, archival documents from the Wisconsin Bureau of Civil Defense and the State Board of Health, and bound volumes of medical journals and magazines, I place the binder documents in the historical contexts and rhetorical situations in which they were created and circulated.

  • Tornado Safety Q & A

    Tornado Safety Q & A

    TORNADO SAFETY Q & A The Prosper Fire Department Office of Emergency Management’s highest priority is ensuring the safety of all Prosper residents during a state of emergency. A tornado is one of the most violent storms that can rip through an area, striking quickly with little to no warning at all. Because the aftermath of a tornado can be devastating, preparing ahead of time is the best way to ensure you and your family’s safety. Please read the following questions about tornado safety, answered by Prosper Emergency Management Coordinator Kent Bauer. Q: During s evere weather, what does the Prosper Fire Department do? A: We monitor the weather alerts sent out by the National Weather Service. Because we are not meteorologists, we do not interpret any sort of storms or any sort of warnings. Instead, we pass along the information we receive from the National Weather Service to our residents through social media, storm sirens and Smart911 Rave weather warnings. Q: What does a Tornado Watch mean? A: Tornadoes are possible. Remain alert for approaching storms. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio or television for information. Q: What does a Tornado Warning mean? A: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar and you need to take shelter immediately. Q: What is the reason for setting off the Outdoor Storm Sirens? A: To alert those who are outdoors that there is a tornado or another major storm event headed Prosper’s way, so seek shelter immediately. I f you are outside and you hear the sirens go off, do not call 9-1-1 to ask questions about the warning.

    Property Risk Consulting Guidelines PRC.15.1.1 A Publication of AXA XL Risk Consulting WINDSTORMS INTRODUCTION A variety of windstorms occur throughout the world on a frequent basis. Although most winds are related to exchanges of energy (heat) between different air masses, there are a number of weather mechanisms that are involved in wind generation. These depend on latitude, altitude, topography and other factors. The different mechanisms produce windstorms with various characteristics. Some affect wide geographical areas, while others are local in nature. Some storms produce cooling effects, whereas others rapidly increase the ambient temperatures in affected areas. Tropical cyclones born over the oceans, tornadoes in the mid-west and the Santa Ana winds of Southern California are examples of widely different windstorms. The following is a short description of some of the more prevalent wind phenomena. A glossary of terms associated with windstorms is provided in PRC.15.1.1.A. The Beaufort Wind Scale, the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Cyclone Severity Scale and the Fugita Tornado Scale are also provided in PRC.15.1.1.A. Types Of Windstorms Local Windstorms A variety of wind conditions are brought about by local factors, some of which can generate relatively high wind conditions. While they do not have the extreme high winds of tropical cyclones and tornadoes, they can cause considerable property damage. Many of these local conditions tend to be seasonal. Cold weather storms along the East coast are known as Nor’easters or Northeasters. While their winds are usually less than hurricane velocity, they may create as much or more damage.

FRANKUN COUNTY HMIPSiUREJ^UNTY Your local Civil Defense Director and other local public officiais, under the guidance of State and Federal Civil Defense Agencies, have been working for some time to develop the best plan for survival in the event of Nuclear Attack using presently available resources. The basements of many homes in this area, because of the substantial type of construction, will provide a degree of protection against radioactive fallout, with those persons not able to take shelter at home being provided space in public shelter. The Community Shelter Plan is Option I of the Nuclear Civil Protec - tion Program for Massachusetts and would be implemented if insufficient time was available for evacuating people from areas that would be subject to direct blast damage. Option II of the Nuclear Civil Protection Program provides instruc- tions on the relocation of people from the blast risk areas to the safer host areas and is known as the Crisis Relocation Plan , now being prepared You will be advised as to which part of the program to follow based on the international situation.
  • Severe Weather: Thunderstorms and Tornados

    Severe Weather: Thunderstorms and Tornados

    Health and Safety Alert January 2020 Severe Weather Watches and Warnings: Thunderstorms and Tornados A severe weather watch alerts people that severe weather is expected or that conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather. A severe weather warning means that severe weather is occurring, imminent, or likely in the location indicated and is a threat to life and property. People in the warning area need to take action immediately. Severe Weather Watches and Warnings are issued by the National Weather Service. When a watch is issued: A watch may be issued hours before a storm. The sky may be sunny when you first hear a severe thunderstorm or tornado watch. After you learn of a watch, check weather information frequently: While watches may be issued before storms form, thunderstorms may be developing when the watch is posted, or thunderstorms may be ongoing and moving into the area. By checking the weather information again, you will be aware of what is going on around you. Options for staying informed about the weather include: • Weather radios • TV news channels • AM/FM radio • Internet • Emergency alerts via phone, e-mail or text When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued: Do not ignore severe thunderstorm warnings! Severe thunderstorm warnings often precede tornado warnings, providing you with extra time to prepare for a dangerous storm. If there is a severe thunderstorm headed your way, you should monitor it closely, especially if a tornado watch is also in effect. Move inside and away from windows. Severe thunderstorms can produce damaging straight- line winds and large hail.

FALLOUT PROTECTION FOR HOMES WITH BASEMENTS January 18, 1965 "It is already clear that with- out fallout shelter protection for our citizens, all defense weapons lose much of their ef- fectiveness in saving lives. This also appears to be the least expensive way of saving millions of lives, and the one which has clear value even without other systems. We will continue our existing pro- grams and start a program to increase the total inventory of shelters through a survey of private home and other small structures."

" Los antecedentes disponibles a la ~echa indican que los ingresos corrientes del Fisco ascenderan en 1965 a EQ2.958,0 millones incluidos, tanto los que corresponden al Calculo de Entradas ~probado en la Ley de Presupuestos vigente, como lo's que se produciran por efecto de leyes aprqbadas en el ' curso del actual eje;rcicio. Se estima, de acuerdo ,con las pre­ visiones realizadas Ii la fecha, que dicha ,cifra se elevara en, 1966 a EQ 3.551,1 millones, 10 que representa un aumento de 20%. EI mayor ingreso es consecuencia, en parte, del aumen­ to de precios que se calcula en 25 %, para el presente ano y , en 15 % para 1966. ,Por otra parte, el aumento en la pro­ duccion nacional estimado en 5% para 1966, debe producir un incremento real de 'cuantia similar en el rendimiento'de los impuestos. Finalmente; hay que senalar que los nuevos tributos aprobados en el curso del presente ano se aplica.. ran en e1 proximo ejercicio a partir del 1Q de enero, 10 que genera, asimismo, un mayor ingreso.
