NEWS-HERALD JOURNAL Monday, November 12, 1956 10 Disaster Alert Many people would be trapped by debris during an enemy alert attack, or during a major natural disaster. Earthquakes destroy buildings, trapping occupants, and hurricanes, fires and floods add their toll. Escape from many structures would be blocked, and Civil Defense Rescue Service would be called into action. Rescue Training Necessary Hasty removal of debris during rescue may cause further injury to the victim and in addition may injure the would-be rescuer. The first rule of rescue is: Don't move ar injured or unconscious person until he is given first aid.

Improper moving of the injured victim may cost his life. However, danger of fire, electric shock or asphyxiation may make it necessary to act at once. The rescuer must decide whether the greater danger lies in moving the victim or leaving him where he is until expert help can arrive. Proceed With Caution Use extreme caution in removing debris to free a trapped person. Be sure that each brick or board can be removed safely without dislodging other debris.

In tunneling into debris, shore up the opening step by step to prevent collapse of the walls, which may not only cause further injury to the victim, but trap the rescuers. Use flashlights or battery operated lanterns for light, since escaping gas may cause an explosion if matches or open flame are used. Start At The Bottom Never, under any circumstances, climb on top of wreckage. The extra weight may collapse the entire building on the victim, or a single brick may dislodged that will start a slide. When the victim is reached, clear a space about him, being very careful to brace and shore up the wreckage to provide maximum protection for both victim and rescuers.

For information regarding training in rescue, contact your local Civil Defense office. If a training course is not at present scheduled in your area, your Civil Defense office will keep you informed.

Question: Before coming to California five years ago, I was fireman with a small midwest fire department. Should I volunteer for specific work in Civil Defense?
