September Is National Preparedness Month-Get Involved!!!

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:18:59 GMT

Even though National Preparedness Month is not under Civil Defense, but is now FEMA. I feel that it is still important to address todays threat of terrorism and etc... Originally, before FEMA, Civil Defense had its own kind of National Preparedness Month. It was then called National Civil Defense Week which, was held in the second week of September. Even though we are not exposed to the same kind of preparedness propaganda of the 50's and 60's, PREPAREDNESS IS STILL IMPORTANT!!! With today's threat of weapons of mass destruction, anthrax, and more severe weather. We need to learn about the threats and what we can do to survive them. That is why I, the webmaster have decided to feature National Preparedness Month. Please get involved and become more aware of the threats. It's your Duty!!!

Thankyou,

Conelrad

Control of Electromagnetic Radiation is like todays emergency alert system. Founded in 1951 by Harry S. Truman.

During a time of emergency, you would have turn to 640 or 1240 on an AM Radio. In a sort of way I like to call KFOR a CONELRAD because they broadcast during tornado warnings, and there on AM 1240

If you have a radio made between 1951 and 1963. You will find this logo on your radio. This logo was put on the radios so you could know if it was CONELRAD receiveing. In 1963 CONELRAD became the emergency broadcasting system. In 1994 that turned into the Emergency Alert System.
