Abstract

Research in the area of industrial preparedness was most active in the 1960s when numerous studies were completed on subjects directly related to the survival of industry during a nuclear war. However, during this period no national policy evolved on the role industry should play nor were the requirements for a comprehensive industrial preparedness program developed. Industrial preparedness can be implemented either during peaceful times, or during a period of crisis at which time a nuclear attack appears to be imminent. The selected program should consist of those components necessary for survival of the population during the early post-attack period and for augmentation during the period of national recovery. In order to establish the requirements of industry in the post-attack environment it was necessary to estimate the condition of the country after a large-scale nuclear exchange, especially the relationship between the surviving population and the capacity of the residual industry to produce goods. Thus those industries essential to national survival and eventual recovery were evaluated with respect to their capability to provide products. Where the capability was insufficient to support the post-attack population, those industries became prime candidates for assistance through an industrial preparedness program.

PREPAREDNESS AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL--AN URGENT GOAL

Journal Article Terry, L - New York State Journal of Medicine (U.S.)

Development of plans at the local level to ensure survival of maximum numbers of the population following a thermonuclear attack is discussed. Seven elements, considered necessary to prepare the community for any emergency, are outlined. These include medical selfhelp training of the population, effective utilization of available medical and allied health personuel, expanded and coordinated operation of all available hospitals and other health facilities, prudent use of medical supplies and equipment, adequate supply of safe water for emergency use, provision for the rehabilitation of damaged health facilities, and restoration and maintenance of the health of the surviving population.

ROLE OF THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY PLANNING

Journal Article Brewer, C - Health Physics (England)

A national state of readiness must be achieved and maintained for the mobilization of the Nation to deal with all degrees of emergency such as cold war, limited war, and general war including attack upon the United States. National security and current economic actions should be mutually supporting with due attention directed to emergency preparedness measures which will contribute to the improvement of our current economy or national well-being. The acceleration of mobilization can be accomplished most effectively and efficiently through the performance by departments and agencies of Government of those emergency preparedness functions related to their established roles andmore »« less

Defending the Homeland: Growing Foreign Challenges to the U.S. Missile Defense Posture

Technical Report

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for Policy requested that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory conduct a Congressionally directed study on homeland missile defense, pursuant to Section 1692 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. In accordance with the statutory language, this study considers whether the security benefits obtained by deployment of homeland missile defenses of the United States are undermined or counterbalanced by adverse reactions of potential adversaries, and considers the effectiveness of homeland missile defense efforts of the United States to deter the development of ballistic missiles. Almost a half-century has elapsed since the Unitedmore »« less
