Can we have some commentary on the scientific accuracy of the text in this booklet? I would imagine people will come here and read this stuff and consider it fully accurate unless they're told otherwise... 154.5.85.250 09:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with the comment above - like many civil defence documents of the Cold War their intent was to sanitise nuclear weapons and particularly to tone down the lethality of both immediate bomb effects (heat/light/blast) and delayed effects, particularly radiation. It may need some kind of context to illustrate that this kind of document was typical of the era and should not be seen as a wholly accurate or reliable account of what to do if attacked with nuclear weapons.

Depends, some of it is useful... depending on how far away from the blast you are. --Spoonman.au 08:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would a link out to an emergency preparedness guidebook be of use on this page? It is free. Here is the link:Emergency PrepardnessSushilover boy 16:32, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
