| Summary: | The guide was compiled by a task force of teachers, administrators, consultants, and civil defense personnel. The cover features an outline of the state covered with various examples of "disaster": tornadoes, riots, fires, nuclear attack, civil disturbances, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. From the introduction: "It is the purpose of this guide to emphasize the necessity for individual concern relative to disaster readiness coupled with an understanding of a functional government as it responds to an emergency. Since the turn of the century our government has been vitally concerned with a positive reaction to civil, economic, environmental and military disturbances. The goal has generally been corrective and our emphasis in the classroom has been in retrospect. It is the intent of this course to offer a program to promote survival, whatever the emergency, natural or man-made. Disaster preparedness is best accomplished where there is the desire to survive fused with a leadership that educates toward understanding potential disasters."
