NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION OF FIRE CHIEFS methodi were we a~ble to meet the situation during this tornado. ~acia ~ Division Commander met his own problems, mastered, them, and maintained c!o’se liaison with our Headquarters. In setting up our plan we were concerned with a military operation such as an atomic attack, and did not give much thought to a natural disaster. Fortunately, our plan was flexible enough to meet both, and on the ’gth of June we were able to operate. Most of the people that we were trying to recruit were apathetic to civil d~fense and assumed the attitud,e ~hat ’tit, could never¯ happen,, ~ ~ ohere’?.,.,i~ ~, The thought of,,a disaster brought the comment, ~never in New England . ,Many others answered, I am too busy, but you may use my name". Gentlemen, using a person’s name does not save lives. Fortunately, that night we had hundreds of people who were not "too busy". These were the people who kept the death list down and reduced the number of casualties. To these people the City of Wo~cester ~vill always be grateful. We were well aware that a well organized .Civil Defense would~ not prevent a third World War, ,but were also, convinced that if properly trained, lives could be saved. Most people are under the impression that .Civil D.efense concerns the following: Receiving the Yellow Alert, notifying key personnel to ~eport to their stations for duty, alerting industry, institutions and others to prepare to place their defense plans in operation and disbursing apparatus and equipment:.. Then sounding sirens, to get people off the streets and into shelters, as well as stopping all.vehicles. Then, having an alert periodi where no person or vehicle moves, and after that: the sounding of the sirens again to denote the All ’Clear Signal. We conducted several of these tests and :they were all successful. While they are necessary to educate the general public as to what they shall do in an attack, it is only the beginning of Civil Defense. When the attack is over, we will have ma~y fires to fight, devastated areas will have to be restricted to persons and vehicles, the injured and dead will have t.o be cared for, and the homeless will have to be housed, fed, registered and rehabilitated. This will be the real proof of a well organized Department of Civil Defense. To give the Division Commanders more information~ and knowledge of their responsibilities, we conducted a .Command Post Exercise on the 26th of May, about two weeks after our City-wide test. This exercise involved the Commanders and their staffs, and not their personnel or vehicles. This hypothetical exercise was written up ,by the ’Operations Section and was based on a 1X bomb droppedl over Worcester at i0:00 A. M. The groun,d zero was determined by dropping a coin on the situation map and developments started by the receipt of the Yellow Alert. Each Division Commander and his staff sat at their own tables with maps and prepared to solve the problems that the Operations Section presented. These problems were handed to each Commander in sealed envelopes and required his solutions.’ This exercise lasted for more than two hours and brought out the very important po~int that all units must have perfect coordination and that the channels of command must be followed if we are to -have a well organized Department of Civil Defense. Let me make this point very clear, Without a well organized tire department, police department, and department o,f public works and utilities, Civil Defense with the remaining seven divisions just could not operate, rI’hese three dii~isions W~re the first units into the devastated areas, and the efficiency under which, they performeld has drawn nothing but commenda.tion,. I. saw these .firemen fight the fires that were breaking out in the areas. I saw these men .driye their_ app._a__ra_t._u_s _on.~.to. priva.te p._r_o_pert~
