Wichita as prime target for H bomb strikes in Kansas
Wichita would be a prime nuclear strike target with three major aircraft plants and an Air Force base. About 300000 Sedgwick County residents would evacuate within 90 minutes after a warning siren, or shelter quickly for a steady three minute blast. The plan covers 32 evacuation routes to mutual aid counties and field hospitals, with routes and radios guiding people to Pratt and other towns, while weather and wind direction affect destinations and fallout patterns.
