CIVIL DEFENSE AND THE DEPARTMENT 

OF 

DEFENSE

LIKE SO MANY OF THE FILMS UNCOVERED FROM THIS PERIOD CONELRAD . COM HAS COME THROUGH AGAIN WITH THIS CLASSIC THAT TAKES THE COLD WAR VIEWER THROUGH THE EFFORT BEING TAKEN TO FIND BUILDINGS THAT WILL OFFER PROTECTION AND SHOWS HOW THE COMMUNITY SHELTER PROGRAM AND OTHER OFFSHOOTS OF THIS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES IF IT WERE TO COME UNDER A NUCLEAR ATTACK AND AMERICAS CIVILIANS DESERVE PROTECTION AND THE OFFICE OF CIVIL DEFENSE WAS PUTTING IN TO ACTION ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS EFFORTS THIS GOVERNMENT HAS UNDERTAKEN TO PROTECT ITS PEOPLE, ALSO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POINTS OF THIS MOVIE IS THE UNVEILING OF THE "FALLOUT SHELTER SIGN" A VERY SERIOUS SIGN OF DARK REFLECTIVE ORANGE YELLOW AND BLACK WITH ITS THREE TRIANGLES POINTING DOWN AND THE WORDS "FALLOUT SHELTER" THE SIGN HAS ALWAYS EVEN AS A KID PROVOKED A RESPONSE INSIDE FEAR,SERIOUSNESS,IMPORTANCE,SAFETY? MANY FEELINGS GO THROUGH MY MIND, TO ME THE SIGN HAS A ALMOST EERIE AURA TO IT WHEN IT REFLECTS OFF A BRICK WALL AT NIGHT CAUGHT IN THE HEADLIGHTS OF A CAR OR IN A ABANDONED HOSPITAL TUNNEL FALLOUT SHELTER IN THE LIGHT OF A FLASHLIGHT, THE COLORS EVEN THE THOUGHT OF WHAT IT REALLY MEANS, PROTECTION FROM THE MOST HORRIBLE VISIONS OF HELL ON EARTH MAN HAS EVER OR NEVER SEEN.

THE MOVIE GOES ON SHOWING THE SHELTER PROGRAMS STOCK TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL MARKED / POSTED SHELTERS RADIATION MEASURING DEVICES,FOOD AND WATER STOCK,MEDICAL KITS, AND THEY WILL BE LOCATED IN AREAS OF BUILDINGS OFFERING THE BEST PROTECTION FROM RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT

THIS MOVIE WAS PERHAPS THE FIRST TO UNVEIL THE NEW SHELTER SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE PART OF EVERY CITY,STATE,COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES, NEW CONSTRUCTION WOULD DESIGN BUILDINGS TO OFFER PROTECTION FROM RADIATION PENETRATING THIN WALLS,SCHOOLS WOULD BE DESIGNED THE SAME AND BE STOCKED TO SHELTER EVERY STUDENT THAT ATTENDED THE SCHOOL, EVEN BUILDINGS WITH NO BASEMENTS AND INTERIOR STAIRCASES WERE USED AS SHELTERS, 

CONELRAD HAS ONCE AGAIN SHOWN ITS DEDICATION TO UNEARTHING AND SHOWING ALL THINGS ATOMIC AND THEIR YOU TUBE CHANNEL CONELRAD 6401240 HAS A VERY LARGE OFFERING AND THEIR WEBSITE IS A LIBRARY OF CIVIL DEFENSE,MOVIES ON ATOMIC THEMED PLOTS,EVEN MUSIC ABOUT THE ATOMIC AGE AND ITS OFFERINGS AND ALSO INCLUDES PLENTY OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ATOMIC EPHEMERA , AND ATOMIC AGE PAMPHLETS AND PROPAGANDA ART AND SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED

HERE IS PROTECTION FACTOR 100 COURTESY OF CONELRADS YOU TUBE CHANNEL

THIS SECOND MOVIE IS ALSO A OFFICE OF CIVIL DEFENSE CLASSIC AND IS ABOUT RADIATION FALLOUT AND PROTECTION

CIVIL DEFENSE AND RADIOACTIVE         FALLOUT COMMON SENSE 1965 

  THE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE PERIOD THAT WERE TO PRESENT RADIOACTIVITY IN A EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE WAY WITHOUT SCARING AMERICA, ...IT COVERS THE NUCLEAR EXPLOSION AND HOW DEBRIS SUCKED IN TO THE FIREBALL CREATES FALLOUT AND HOW EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD LEARN TO AVOID IT THROUGH TIME ,DISTANCE, AND SHIELDING.AND EXPLAINS THE PUBLIC FALLOUT SHELTER SYSTEM, AND HOW RADIATION IS YOUR FRIEND ONLY WHEN THE TREATED WITH RESPECT .AND IF ANYTHING IS LEARNED IT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO PRONOUNCE "ROENTGEN"

IT SURE HAS HELPED ME, I HAVE MY OWN COPY OF THIS BUT FOR SOME REASON IT CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED, FALLOUT SHELTERS AND THE NATIONAL FALLOUT SHELTER SURVEY AND PLAN COULD OF BEEN SOMETHING IF MORE AMERICANS THOUGHT OF HELPING THIS EFFORT AND NOT IGNORING IT IF YOU NOTICE ONE OF THE POSTS ABOVE HAS SOVIET CIVIL DEFENSE IN ACTION OVER 15 YEARS AFTER THIS MOVIE AND TRAINED CIVILIANS TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY AND WORK IT IS A SOBERING LOOK SINCE AMERICANS ABANDONED THEIR SHELTER PROGRAM YEARS AGO WITH THE PEACE NO WAR IDEA, GREAT JUST GET THE WORLD TO FALL IN STEP WITH THAT AND IT WOULD BE PARADISE, UNFORTUNATELY DURING THE YEARS WE CAME TO CLOSE DURING WORLD INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS, THE SHELTER SYSTEM WAS TO ALLOW NON COMBATANTS A PLACE TO RIDE OUT A NUCLEAR ATTACK AND BY BEING PRO SHELTER IT DID NOT MAKE YOU A WAR MONGER IT WAS TO MITIGATE ANY DAMAGE OR DEATH IN THE EVENT AND IN THE EVENT OF ONE THERE WOULD NOT BE PLACES TO GO BECAUSE THE LACK OF CIVILIAN PARTICIPATION AND THAT WOULD SEAL THE FATES OF MANY WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE, WELL THESE MOVIES SHOW A TIME WHEN A NUCLEAR EXCHANGE WAS LIKELY AND THE EFFORT TO GIVE AMERICANS A CHANCE TO SURVIVE INSTEAD OF JUST LAYING DOWN AND DYING. THANKS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVED AND SPENT CARERS AND TIME VOLUNTEERING DURING THIS PERIOD IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A FALLOUT SHELTER THINK ABOUT WHAT IF?     

AMONG THE MANY ROLES OF CIVIL DEFENSE ,  EDUCATION WAS PART OF THEIR MISSION ,THIS FILM SHOWS TO A 1965 AUDIENCE WHAT A ATOMIC WEAPON DETONATION LOOKS LIKE, THE ACTION OF WHATEVER IS SUCKED UP IN TO THE FIREBALL BECOMES RADIOACTIVE  FALLOUT DOWN WIND, REQUIRING A  PROTECTION LEVEL OF TIME-DISTANCE AND SHIELDING THE USUAL BASIC DRILL,THIS WAS SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC POSSIBLY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS OR COMMUNITY CENTERS AROUND THE US, ITS BASIC STATEMENT IS EVEN IF YOU HAVE A PUBLIC SHELTER NEARBY A HOME FALLOUT SHELTER IS A MUCH BETTER PLACE TO BE FOR 2 WEEKS OR LONGER AND HOW KEEPING FOOD STORED FOR SUCH AN EVENT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A POSITIVE OUTCOME. IT WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO BE IN A MUSTY BASEMENT OF A DEPARTMENT STORE SITTING IN THE DARK FOR 14 OR MORE DAYS WITH THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS AND LACK OF COMFORTS,ONE PARTICULAR OCD FILM ON FALLOUT SHELTER LIVING HAS PEOPLE STROLLING UP TO THE PUBLIC SHELTER FROM AN EMPTY STREET WITH AN OVERNIGHT BAG WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD, THATS SOME REAL US GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA,
