IF THE BOMB DROPS . . .
If there is an air raid warning :
P:Put out fires, turn off fuel, electricity, gas. Close all doors, windows, draw curtains, draperies. go to the basement. If there is no basement, get in center hall. Cover neck, head, arms against flying glass, heat and radiation.
P:If outside, run for the nearest shelter--underground or inside a building. If driving, pull to the curb, leave keys so the car can be moved, and head for shelter. If there is no warning but the burst of the bomb:
P:Turn away from the flash, fall flat, close your eyes, cover head and arms against flash burns. Outside, get as close as you can to a building or tree for protection against falling debris. Inside, dive under a bed or desk or behind a sofa.
After the all clear: P:If there is dust outside, cover mouth and nose with a handkerchief (the dust might be radioactive), nail blinds over broken windows. At the first chance, change clothes, scrub with plenty of soap, get hair and fingernails clean (they might carry radio-active particles).
P:Don't: telephone; turn on water after blast (until you have been told it is uncontaminated); eat, drink or touch objects in contaminated area; try to drive your car away.
