PORTABLE FAN By GARY He emphasized R. BLODGETT Emergency preparedness is everyone's business. . .we can't rely on the local, state or federal governments. THIS WAS the essence of a presentation by Cresson H. Kearney who traveled across country at his own expense to address a large group of Bountiful residents concerning threats and how to prepare for nuclear or natural disaster. Mr. Kearney is one of the most informed persons in the world on the subject of nuclear disasters and declined an invitation to address a top U.S. government that SHELTERS SHOULD be built away from the populated area, if possible, in an isolated area, but close enough that they can be reached with the few minutes warning that Americans will have of a potential nuclear attack. Shelters may be dug into the side of a hill or deep into the ground. If dug into the ground, timber poles can be used for form a flat roof and then several feet of dirt should be piled atop of and surrounding the shelter. emergency preparedness today must be at the grass roots level. We can't depend on anyone but our neighbors for help, he said. HE PRAISFD the Bountiful group for its interest and action in preparing for an emergency, w hether it be nuclear or natural disaster.

He said it is important that the fallout shelters may be crude in structure, but they are designed to survive the initial blast and subsequent fallout. agency because you people y can do something about emergency preparedness MR. KEARNEY said the U.S. government has failed in any attempt to educate or prepare the citizens of this country for a nuclear attack. At the same time, Russia is lulling the U.S. population into the belief that there will never be such an attack. But Russia is not telling its he people this propaganda, said. Russians are preparing for a nuclear attack while Americans are falling be- hind.

These publications, some of which I helped do research, have not even reached the state and local emergency preparedness (formerly civil defense) directors. They are absolutely useless, he said. MR. KEARNEY emphasized that the underground shelters that every family should have are not costly to build, but they should be constructed properly or they will do little good. He added that the shelters should be sufficiently stocked with emergency supplies to ind clude a radio, flashlight, food and water for at least three weeks, sanitation facilities, bedding, clothing, portable cooking stove, and should include a homemade fallout meter that will enable occupants of the shelter to know when it is safe to go outside, and for how long. (MORE information about shelters, emergency facilities, survival equipment, how to make a fallout meter, and other topics of interest for emergency preparedness will be discussed in future articles from a book written by Mr. Kearney). battery-powere- Receives 20 Yr.
