It is a Community Shelter Plan for Brazos County. It is based on a 90- minute maximum warning period before fallout would reach the area. Therefore, if a warning does come, you would have a 30- minute time period to leave your place of employment'and proceed to your home if necessary, or possibly await arrival of your children from school. During this 30- minute period there will be normal free traffic on all streets. At the end of this 30- minute period, traffic will be controlled and limited chiefly to one -way traffic leading toward shelter areas. Regardless of where you may be when warning comes, go to your allocated shelter, because this plan is designed to keep families and their neighbors together. This plan•has been developed to provide protection for you against radiation resulting from radioactive fallout and in no way should be interpreted to provide protection against blast and tornadoes.
