Kodiak Best Prepared for Protection
In Event of Nuclear War Attack
Alaskans living in Russian
founded Kodiak will have a better
chance of surviving nuclear war
fare than residents of any other
target city in the State, according
fe> Art Brooks, Kodiak district CD
director. ; ‘
•‘Our big edge is old Fort Aber*
crombie, four miles from down
tfovn Kodiak and nine miles from
the Kodiak Naval Base,” said the
,J&odiak Insurance man and war
veteran who directs the town’s CD
effort. ,
Now in an area controlled by
the City of Kodiak, the old coast
_artillery base includes four build
ings, each of which is constructed
of concrete several feet thick.
'Applying austere standards,
wq can shelter all Kodiak women
and children, the aged, sick and
insured in the shelters overlook
lug Mon&shka Bay,” according to
$robks,
Emergency medical supplies
and survival equipment are al
ready being stored in the shelters.

staff last fall. 5 $ i*
' Acting State "CD Director Ed
Fortier credits Brooks and his
staff with developing an efffec
tive, common sense plan for pro
tection of Kodiak residents.
“Once fallout protection is in
creased, Kodiak will have a built
into-rock shelter system that few
cities in the nation can equal," ac
cording to Fortier.

porting forms are usually mailed
by the agency approximately 15
days before the end of the quarter
