Civil Defense
Plan for Kodiak
(This is a reprint of an article
appearing in the August 9 issue
of the Kodiak Mirror, and appears
again due to numerous enquiries
for copies.)
By Arthur Brooks
Civil Defense Director
This article is'published to give
you the Why, When, Where and
What of Kodiak’s Civil Defense.
Due to the proximity of the City
of Kodiak to the Kodiak Naval
Station and whereas the Kodiak
Naval Station is presumed to be
a military target for attack, we
have adopted the following Civil
Defense plan. Your utmost sup
port and cooperation of the plan
will be a deciding factor should
the need arise to put this plan
into action. We must use the
“Minute Man” approach to our
problem for in this area not only
will every minute count, but
seconds, too.
Should the Naval Station be
designated by our enemies to re
ceive a nuclear weapon afSack, we
must be prepared to meet the
worst possible situation. Since we
will not be able to determine the
size of the weapon employed, we
will assume the size to range from
a 20 kiloton weapon to a 2 mega
ton weapon. In any event our plan
calls for complete evacuation of
Kodiak.
Civil Defense Actions signals
are:
1. Alert Signal
A steady blast of the siren of 3
to 5 minutes duration. This is a
warning that an emergency exists.
It is your signal to start evacua
tion—due to our proximity to
enemy areas, we will not have
time to wait for further alerts.
2. Take-cover Signal
A series of wailing tones of the
siren* ot a minutes duration—take
cover immediately wherever you
may be located.
Our evacuation plans call for
dispersal to the Fort Aber
crombie, Miller Point and Spruce
Cape areas. The routes to these
areas are Brooklyn Avenue and
Mill Bay Road as Route No. 1;
Mission Road to cutoff to Mill Bay
road as Route No. 2, with Mission

There are many vacancies in
our organization in which we ur
gently ask for volunteers. In or
der for us to have a workable
Civil Defense, we must have more
help. Up to now the work has
been done by four or five people
—there aren’t enough workers to
do the job before us. There are
openings, for example, for rescue,
police, fire, warden, transporta
tion, warning service, communica
tions, etc. You may call City Mana
ger Bill Poland, or Civil Defense
Director Art Brooks for more in
formation.
