KNOW ABOUT WARNING
SUMMARY
Before an emergency
1. Learn what outdoor warning signals are used in your community, what they sound like, what they mean, and what actions you should take when you hear them.
2. Make sure you know the difference between the Attack Warning Signal and the Attention or Alert Signal (if both are used in your community).
During an emergency
1. When you hear the warning signals, or warning information is broadcast, take prompt action.
2. If the Attack Warning Signal sounds, go to a fallout shelter immediately (unless your local government has told you to do something else). After you are in shelter, listen to a radio for more information and instructions.
3. If there is no public or private shelter you can go to, try to improvise some fallout protection. As a last resort, take cover in the best available place.
4. If there should be a nuclear flash--especially if you feel the warmth from it--take cover instantly, and then move to a fallout shelter later.
