If an A-Bomb Falls #nn

This 1951 civil defense instructional comic book provides comprehensive guidance on preparing for and surviving an atomic bomb attack. The content covers practical home preparation measures such as designating basement shelter areas, stockpiling supplies including canned food and water, and maintaining emergency equipment like flashlights, battery radios, and first aid kits. It details proper procedures during an attack, including remaining calm, staying sheltered until authorities sound the all-clear, and avoiding panic which could cause more casualties than the bomb itself. The comic also explains the actual effects of atomic explosions, noting that in Japan fewer casualties resulted from radioactivity than from blast and burn injuries, and advises on decontamination procedures such as removing exposed clothing and bathing if one suspects radioactive exposure.
