Description
Maryland Civil Defense Agency. Public Action Plan For Use Under Emergency Conditions: A Guide To Family Survival. Baltimore. Maryland Civil Defense Agency. C. 1960-63. Scarce original Civil Defense pamphlet, detailing Cold War-era nuclear evacuation plans for the Baltimore metro area.
Published by the state bureau of the Civil Defense Agency, this pamphlet was meant to keep citizens informed and save lives if necessary. It unfolds into full-size map demonstrating the safest routes out of Baltimore area in the event of an atomic blast and necessary nuclear evacuation due to fall out.
I can’t even imagine this being you and your family’s last line of defense in the face of all-out nuclear annihilation, but I also can’t imagine “agreeing” to a policy of mutually assured destruction.
No past sale records found and OCLC lists no copies as of April 2020.
Folding pamphlet with full-size map and two smaller maps describing atomic raid evacuation plan and illustrating evacuation routes from the Baltimore area. Exterior folds browned. Occasional dark drop stains. Some creases and wrinkling. 8 folds from past mailing and pamphlet use. Wear creates losses on one fold. One brown wear stain. Good condition.
For more Cold War ephemera, consider “The Family Fall Out Shelter”. It’s a blast!
