Movement and Shelter Options to Reduce Population Vulnerability

Abstract

The report presents the case for movement and shelter options as an adjunct to CSP. The movement measure is to remove populations from potential blast areas of nuclear bursts. 'Survival Plans' of the last decades are reviewed and various degrees of evacuation are analyzed. The conclusions are that if a 75% evacuation of a population at risk was possible in a crisis period and a PF of 20 could be arranged in reception areas, nearly 50 million people could be saved at a very minor fraction of the cost of blast shelters.
