Crash Civil Defense Program Study

Abstract

A crash civil defense program is one which is implemented one to fourteen days prior to attack. It is initiated because of a political or military crisis. This study identifies and analyzes several measures that can be effective in this time period in dispersing and protecting population and resources. The problems associated with constructing a crash plan prior to implementation are identified, and some principles for crash planning are given. The major conclusion is that crash planning can significantly improve existing civil defese capabilities. Several actions are recommended which would lead to operational crash planning.
