Yellow alert exposes gaps in Civil Defense response
The first real time test of a rapid alert across the western United States showed mixed results. A Canadian radar detected a supposed flight of American jets, triggering a Yellow Alert at 10 40 p m. and an all clear at 10 47 p m. Officials blamed lack of sirens in Long Beach and limited coverage in the area. Alameda County schoolchildren sheltered as sirens failed to deter traffic, while Los Angeles stations switched to emergency frequencies. Civil Defense officials called for better public preparation and expansion of siren networks and warned that future alerts would target civilian as well as military sectors. A Biscailoz Center meeting was scheduled to review the event.
