PROBLEMS OF FOOD SUPPLY AND SANITATION IN DISASTER

Journal Article · · Sanitarian's J. Environ. Health
OSTI ID:4039728
It is assumed that in initia1 enemy attack with thermonuclear weapons, an attempt will be made to deal a knockout blow; it is further assumed that biological and chemical warfare weapons, coupled with sabotage may be used. Nuclear weapons will subject food supplies to the effects of blast, heat, and radiation, either induced or from fallout. Chemical and biological agents will complicate food salvage and decontamination procedures. In the development of practical plans to cope with the multiple food problems, emphasis should be given to salvage procedures for typical types of food and disposal methods for dangerously contaminated food supplies and wastes.
