The Magnitude of Initial Postattack Recovery Activities

Abstract

The study analyzes the life support tasks of the initial postattack recovery period from the time the survivors emerge from shelters until they have been provided with adequate accomodations. The objective is to provide a basis for the subsequent development of operational contingency plans for the initial postattack recovery period. The study develops quantitative descriptions of typical damage situations in metropolitan areas. The tasks necessary for survival are defined and estimates are made of the effort, equipment, and number of men required for the tasks. The major tasks analyzed are debris clearance, delivery of food and water, decontamination, relocation of the homeless survivors, and boarding windows.
