You can live through an atom bomb raid and you won't have to have a Geiger counter, protective clothing, or special training in order to do it. The secrets of survival are: Know the Bomb's True Dangers; Know the Steps you can take to Escape Them. Close to the explosion, your chances are only one our of ten. Beyond a Half Mile, your chances of surviving increase rapidly; injury by radioactivity does not necessarily mean you are doomed to die. Don't be misled by wild talk of "Super-super bombs.' Even if you have only a second's warning, there is one important thing you can do to lessen your chances of injury by blast: Fall Flat on your face. If you lie down flat, you are least likely to be thrown about. Always wear a hat--the brim may save you from a serious face burn. The harm that can come to you from radioactivity will depend on the power of the rays & particles that strike you, the length of time you are exposed, and how much of your body is exposed. The Civil Defense Office will be glad to cooperate with those who wish to reproduce this booklet by reviewing for accuracy any art or promotional material which they may decide to use. "Modern" atomic bomb, as used in this booklet, refers to the 'nominal' bomb described in the "Effects of Atomic Weapons" published in June 1950 by the Atomic Energy Commission. Civil defense or civil protection is an effort to protect the citizens of a state from natural disasters. It uses the principles of emergency operations: prevention, mitigation, preparation, response, or emergency evacuation and recovery. The National Security Resources Board was a United States government agency created by the National Security Act of 1947 whose purpose was to advise the President, in times of war, on how to mobilize natural resources, manpower, and the scientific establishment to meet the demands of the Department of Defense. Ultimately, the goal was to do long-range and continuous planning to prepare the United States for adequate industrial and economic mobilization. The board was originally very ineffective, perhaps because authority was shared by all eight members of the board rather than any single point person. In 1949, this was changed on the recommendation of the Hoover Commission. At the time of its creation, the chairman of the National Security Resources Board also served ex officio as one of only seven permanent members of the National Security Council. The first chairman was businessman Arthur M. Hill. All power was vested in the chairman alone, and the board was moved to be part of the Department of Defense. Later, it was shifted to the Executive Office of the President. Its role was later eliminated when its responsibilities were transferred to the Office of Defense Mobilization in June 1953. The organization had the following statutory duties: policies concerning industrial and civilian mobilization in order to assure the most effective mobilization and maximum utilization of the Nation's manpower in the event of war. programs for the effective use in time of war of the Nation's natural and industrial resources for military and civilian needs, for the maintenance and stabilization of the civilian economy in time of war, and for the adjustment of such economy to war needs and conditions; policies for unifying, in time of war, the activities of Federal agencies and departments engaged in or concerned with production, procurement, distribution, or transportation of military or civilian supplies, materials, and products; the relationship between potential supplies of, and potential requirements for, manpower, resources, and productive facilities in time of war; policies for establishing adequate reserves of strategic and critical material, and for the conservation of these reserves; the strategic relocation of industries, services, government, and economic activities, the continuous operation of which is essential to the Nation's security.
