Mr. Bowden, representing the Governor's Office, will present Judge Vance with a Certificate of Appreciation from Governor Briscoe for his dedicated support and leadership in Emergency Planning during the past ten years in Bryan, College Station and Brazos County. As County Civil Defense Director I can assure you that Judge Vance, as Chairman of the County Civil Defense Council, has more than earned this honor by the dedication of his time, support and leadership. I sincerely hope you will join me in showing our appreciation. Your attendance and support is respectfully requested. 1/ erely yours, dl,, ., . Cangl Director an ounty Chairman JC /lp BRAZOS COUNTY NUCLEAR CIVIL PROTECTION 1NFORIIATION BRAZOS COUNTY - BRYAN - COLLEGE STATION ., IN THE EVENT OF A NUCLEAR ATTACK, BRAZOS COUNTY, BRYAN AND COLLEGE STATION WILL IMPLEMENT ONE OF THE TWO FOLLOWING EMERGENCY PLANS: I. PROTECTION OF CITIZENS BY INSTRUCTING THEM TO SEEK SHELTER IN DESIGNATED FALLOUT SHELTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UPDATED LOCAL FALLOUT SHELTER PLAN. II. OR THE ORDERLY RELOCATION OF OUR CITIZENS TO THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR CRISIS RELOCATION PLAN (THIS PLAN SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 1979). THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CRISIS RELOCATION PLAN IS DUE TO THE HIGH POPULATION CONCENTRATION IN THE BRYAN/COLLEGE STATION AREA; IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT WE WOULD BECOME A HIGH RISK TARGET AREA IN THE EVENT OF A NUCLEAR WAR. THE PROBABILITY OF AN ATTACK OCCURRING WITHOUT WARNING IS CONSIDERED LOW BY OUR NATIONAL EMERGENCY PLANNERS AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT A PERIOD OF RISING INTERNATIONAL TENSION WOULD BE LIKELY, GIVING US ENOUGH TIME TO DISTRIBUTE EMERGENCY IN STRUCTIONS AND THE ORDERLY EVACUATION OF THE LOCAL TARGET AREA. IN THE EVENT OUR WARNING TIME DOES NOT ENABLE US TO EVACUATE, THE LOCAL FALLOUT SHELTER PLAN WILL BE IMPLEMENTED INSTRUCTING CITIZENS TO GO TO FALLOUT SHELTERS IN THE LOCAL AREA. OUR LOCAL NUCLEAR CIVIL PROTECTION PLANS WILL BE PERIODICALLY UPDATED WITH "PRINT READY" EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS READY FOR DISTRI BUTION IN THE EVENT THAT OUR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SHOULD DETERIO RATE AND A PERIOD OF TENSION, CRISIS OR "STRATEGIC WARNING" SHOULD OCCUR. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STUDIES SHOW THAT PROTECTING PEOPLE IN PLACE COULD ADD SOME 30. MILLION SURVIVORS IN A HEAVY ATTACK. WITH NO CIVIL DEFENSE PROTECTION IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 80 MILLION WOULD SURVIVE. THE SAME STUDIES SHOW THAT RELOCATION OF THE POPULATION COULD ADD 100 MILLION MORE SURVIVORS OR A TOTAL SURVIVAL RATE OF 130 MILLION. YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL CONTINUE EMERGENCY PLANNING AND TRAINING EXERCISES IN ALL AREAS OF EMERGENCY PLANNING SUCH AS: NUCLEAR ATTACK, NATURAL DISASTERS, MAN - MADE DISASTERS, EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS AND EMERGENCY OPERATION EXERCISES IN ORDER TO BE BETTER PREPARED TO COPE WITH ANY MERGENCY. d C.. _ a, In a5 COUNTY DIRECTOR C p.TE 0 � � BRAZOS H4 R� COUNTY JAKE CANGLOSE OFFICE OF JAMES PRESSWOOD COUNTY DIRECTOR AND CHAIRMAN TEXAS AG M UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR E.E.
