"This handbook can serve as a planning and operations guide for officials of local government who may be confronted with various types of peacetime as well as attack-caused emergencies. The handbook may also serve as a guide for local leaders who are not members of local governments, such as labor leaders, industrial plant superintendents, and Red Cross Chapter officials." . "This handbook is intended primarily for smaller municipalities and counties, and includes checklists pertaining to a number of specific types of emergencies and disasters that could confront such communities. I should be recognized, however, that the checklists are not aimed at professionals." . . . "The guidance in this handbook is basic and brief. The purpose is to assist local officials in preparing their own flexible plan for actions to be taken by government and by citizens when disaster threatens or strikes." . . . . .
