LINCOLN SHELTER UTILIZATION STUDY. VOLUME II. A SHELTER ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURE
A step-by-step process of assigning the population of Lincoin, Nebraska, to fallout shelters is discussed. The techniques developed can readily be applied to numerous cities having characteristics similar to those of Lincoln, Nebraska. Large census tract maps can be designed and used in assigning blocks of people to shelters. Methods of developing day and night-time populations data for any given city are described. A technique of putting the shelter assignment on data-processing cards for information retrieval is discussed. Methods of sorting punched cards into useful shelter assignment reports are presented. Considerable attention is given to demonstrating the numbers of people who would be sheltered under three separate warning times. Certain rules, based on the natural behavior of people, are developed as an aid in the assignment process. Estimates of cost and effort expended are provided as a guide to any civilian defense official who would desire to use the technique described therein. (auth)
