JUNEAU—The Territorial De
partment of Civil Defense has to
day requested the Governor oi
Alaska to enter into a Civil De
fense Mutual Aid Compact wit!
the states of California, Washing
ton, Oregon, and the Provinces oJ
Canada surrounding the Terri
tory of Alaska.
In his letter to the Governor
Colonel James C. Crockett, Ter
ritorial Director of Civil Defense
said that in case of a Civil De
fense disaster, the need for Mu
tual Ax'd Compacts between Alas
ka, the Provinces of Canada, and
the Northwestern and Pacific
coast states bordering and con
tiguous to the Territory would
permit the immediate utilizatior
of emergency resources of the
respective States and Provinces
and permit the exchange of pro
fessional services normally re
stricted by state licenses and gen
erally expedite the mutual ex
change of emergency aid.
The procedure for consummat
ing the compact with the other
states, as suggested by the Fed
eral Civil Defense Administra
tion, are:
The Governor shall execute un
iliterally a copy of the Model In
terstate Civil Defense and Disas
ter Compact, sending a copy tc
all states within the United
States, the President of the Sen
ate, the Speaker of the House,
the FCDA, together with a gener
al notice of ratification to Con
gress and the FCDA.
The Civil Defense disaster
Compact is in effect a contract to
provide mutual aid between the
states in meeting emergency or
disaster from enemy Attack—
either by sabotage and subver
sive activities or by a direct at
tack. The pact provides for the
prompt utilization of resources ol
the respective states or any other
source which would be essential
to the safety, care, and welfare
of the people. This would include
personnel, equipment, and sup
plies.
