Take a magazine or two, deck of cards, toilet facilities, portable radio. 4. Lie Down: If bombs start to fall nearby, lie down. You will feel the blast least that way, escape es-cape fragments or splinters. Safest place is under a good stout table. A mattress under a table provides comfort and safety. The enemy may use explosive bombs or incendiary bombs, or both. If incendiaries are used, it's more important to deal with them than to be safe from the blast. So defeat the incendiary with a spray of water, then go back to safety under a table in a refuge room. . 5. Stay Away From Windows: Glass shatters easily, so stay away from windows. Don't go to windows and look out, in an air raid. It is a dangerous thing, and does not help combat the enemy. |
