She looks to you for a real answer. She knows what she must do when the sirens sound at school. But what happens if they sound when she's at home? Will you be ready, like teacher is? Ready to protect her from harm? Ready to help her if she is hurt?
An atomic blast is something like a tornado, a fire and an explosion all rolled into one. Any of these may happen any day. They do happen every day, somewhere. But when they happen all at once, lots of people get hurt. Everybody needs help at the same time - and it may be hours before it comes to your home.
U.S. Civil Defense, working with doctors and atomic scientists, has developed a list of "must" disaster first-aid supplies. These few simple items may already be in your home or, if not, you can get them at any drug counter. For the sake of your children, your neighbors and yourself, these supplies should be in your home - and you should know how to use them.
