This book provides
the rationale for, and necessary life-saving information for, preparing the
general member of the public for personal and family survival. It also gives
recommendations for top leaders of government agencies and emergency response
organizations to enhance their abilities to protect the public or reduce
effects from weapons of mass destruction or effects from nuclear or chemical
accidents. The emphasis in this book is to provide the simplest information and
rules of thumb for early actions in the seconds, minutes, and early hours after
an attack, before the limited number of scientists are able to assess extents
of damage and exposure, and before the limited number of responders will be
able to assist individual families and members of the public. The book also
explains how the public has been subjected to exaggerations of low-level
exposures, provides information on radiation risks versus dose, and recommends
public education that would prevent unwarranted panic in the vast areas that might
be contaminated with radioactive materials.
