WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR RAID
At the yellow warning, if you arc not already on duty, you will be summoned to your post
will carry out orders until relieved. However
here are the rules for those who do not have as:
signed duties when the air raid warning comes.
Memorize them carefully so that you can in turn
instruct others. Here is what to tell them:
-
If away from home, seek the nearest shelter. Get off the street.
-
If you are driving, first park your car at the curb; be sure all lights are shut off.
-
If you are at home, send the others to the refuge room. This should be a comfortable place with as little window exposure as possible, equipped with drinking water, things to read, toilet facilities, a flashlight, a portable radio, a sturdy table, and food if you like.
-
Turn off all gas stove burners but leave pilot lights, water heaters and furnaces alone. Leave electricity and water on. Fill some large containers or a bathtub with
water.
-
Check up on blackout arrangements. Don't let a crack of light show to the outside.
