Effectiveness of Civil Defense Systems.

Abstract

A methodology is presented for assessing the effectiveness of civil defense program elements in reducing nuclear warfare casualties. It consists of two related models of civil defense activities: POPDEF, which assesses fatalities and injuries under nuclear attack, and PAM, which uses data and estimates of the product of specific program elements to generate most of the inputs to POPDEF. Example results are presented and the use of other measures of effectiveness is discussed. (Author)
