Advising
the householder on protection against Nuclear Attack
Civil Defence Handbook No. 10
Survival During and Immediately After
an Attack Would Depend Largely Upon the Actions Taken by Each Individual
BACKGROUND
We will spare you the details about how this booklet was brought to our
attention, but if we had to symbolically summarize how it happened we
would have to say that Jesus knocked at our door and personally
delivered it.
What a close cooperator has done for us was to transform it into a pdf
format book which makes it available to all of you.
You may think that a 1963 instruction book on how to survive a nuclear
attack is pathetically outmoded. After all, it is almost 50 years old
and technology has advanced tremendously since then.
Well dear brothers and sisters - we will be reduced to the
technological level of those days, or before, so quickly that, if
we are fortunate, a battery operated short wave radio will be our
only source of communication. Therefore, the advice in this booklet is
quite current.
DETAILS
In 1963 the Home Office and Central Office of Information distributed
this handbook for the Civil Defence, Police and Fire Services to advise
the public in Great Britain on what to do in the event of a nuclear
attack.
The booklet told people what to do to protect themselves, their family
and their home.
From how to build an outdoor fall-out shelter and put together a
survival pack, to what to do if a warning sounds. This is a terrifying
glimpse of life under the threat of nuclear attack... and trust us -
you have no idea how threatened we really are.
