FCDA Recommends Seven Day Emergency Food and Water
The Federal Civil Defense Administration urges families to maintain a seven day reserve of food and water for home defense against nuclear attack. Acting FCDA welfare director Theodore M. Willcox says the longer shelter time reflects new information about larger weapons and hydrogen bomb fallout. He notes fallout could require shelter from a few days to a week depending on radiation intensity.
