LINCOLN SHELTER UTILIZATION STUDY. VOLUME 2. A SHELTER ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURE
Abstract
This is Vol. II of a report entitled Lincoln Shelter Utilization Study. Vol. I is entitled 'A Review of the Requirements of Shelter Utilization Planning.' This second report deals specifically with a step-by-step process of assigning the population of Lincoln, Nebraska to fallout shelters. The techniques developed therein can readily be applied to numerous cities having characteristics similar to those of Lincoln, Nebraska. Large census tract maps can be designed and used in assigning blocks of people to shelters. Methods of developing day and nighttime population data for any given city are described. A technique of putting the shelter assignment on data-processing cards for information retrieval is discussed. Methods of sorting punched cards into useful shelter assignment reports are presented. Considerable attention is given to demonstrating the numbers of people who would be sheltered under three separate warning times. Certain rules, based on the natural behavior of people, are developed as an aid in the assignment process. Estimates of cost and effort expended are provided as a guide to any CD official who would desire to use the technique described therein.
