CIVILIAN DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Board of Selectmen
Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman:
The following is the Civilian Defense Report for the year ending December 31, 1961:
Area 3 Headquarters, Westboro, Mass., was reactivated early last year and Sector 3B is in operation the first Monday of each month for Control Center exercises and communication tests. (The town of Douglas is in Sector 3B).
All towns and cities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
55
TOWN OF DOUGLAS
are required to have an "Operations Plan" for Civil Defense, ap- proved by the Local Government and the State Civil Defense organization, in order to participate in Matching Funds and Surplus Property.
The Douglas Operatons Plan was approved by the State organization on October 13, 1961 and by the Selectmen on October 16, 1961. The Douglas Police and Fire Departments cooperated in compiling this Plan.
The Army Engineers have authorized certain architect and engineering firms to make a survey of the cities and towns to determine what buildings and structures could be used as "Fall- out" shelters for 50 or more persons. A preliminary inventory was submitted by Douglas to the Corps of Army Engineers on November 9, 1961. Some towns in the area have been visited by the survey teams and I am waiting to hear when Douglas will be surveyed.
In the near future, it is planned to set up Fixed Monitoring Stations to take readings, at regular intervals, to measure Radio- active Fallout intensity. Geiger counters will be supplied as soon as trained personnel are available.
It is planned to request Federal matching funds for the new Police radio transmitter and receiver. (Base station and mobile units).
A request has been submitted for Federal matching funds for the new base station used by the Fire Department.
Your Local Director has attended several meetings in Boston and Westboro, Mass. in connection with Civil Defense subjects.
Literature has been distributed and talks have been given in the past few months. Considerable interest has been shown regarding Fallout shelters.
Booklets entitled-"Fallout Protection-What to Know and Do about Nuclear Attack" are still available at the Post Office. This booklet has been compiled by the Department of Defense- Office of Civil Defense.
Contact your Local Director for information concerning Civil Defense. If I cannot answer the questions submitted, I will get the information for you.
