THE BATTALION THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1980 Page 3 (Civil defense plans discussed f By KATHLEEN HARTNEY City Reporter fficials from Brazos County and three surrounding counties met with state nuclear civil protection plan ners Wednesday at the Brazos Cen ter to discuss relocation plans in the case of a nuclear attack. KOne of the planners, William G. Dourte, said the pilot program be gan six years ago to assist local gov ernments in the development of nuc lear civil protection plans. ■The U.S. Defense Department said crisis relocation is essentially the pre-planned movement of people from certain designated high risk p areas to safer locations called host | areas. Host areas are defined as areas where the likelihood of nuclear de vastation is low. K|rhe Defense Department has de signated Bryan-College Station as a high risk area because its population exceeds 50,000. HDourte said there are 33 high risk i areas in Texas designated as such be cause they have a military base or installation, a complex of nationally es$ential business and industry or a large population concentration. H^A release from State Nuclear Civil Protection Planning Director Frank T. Cox said the relocation program has five phases and local officials need to develop a plan to handle all phases. ■mie first phase, pre-crisis con sideration, calls for the development of new plans or the evaluation of ex isting ones. ■Brazos County Civil Defense Brcctor Jake Canglose said an “on- shelf’ crisis relocation plan for Bryan-College Station, which in cludes rural parts of Brazos and Burleson counties, has been de veloped and will be released to the public when the state feels it is needed. ■The plan divides the area into three sections.

According to the plan, relocation would be initiated by state governors at the request of the president and should be accomplished in three days. The release said the increased readiness phase, to be enacted at the authorization of the state civil de fense director, requires the host and risk areas to start coordination of acti vities which will involve prepara tions for the next phase. The movement phase stars when the president orders evacuation of high risk areas. The main considerations for this phase are public information and traffic control in the risk areas; traffic control, registration and lodging in the host areas. The fourth phase, the relocation, deals with activities necessary for the support of the relocated residents in the risk and host areas. Food and shelter for people in the host areas and maintenance of essen tial services and industry in the risk areas need to be dealt with, accord ing to the plan. The release called for the shelter phase to be enacted when a nuclear attack actually occurs. Dourte said this program is to be used only when probability of nuc lear attack is imminent.

The Wildlife Society is collecting the cans for recycling in connection with Earth Day ’80, April 22. Peyton Hughes, Earth Day orga nizer for Texas A&M University, said money from the cans will go to national organizations such as the Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation, Save the Whales and other environmental societies. Parking Lot 49, near the Grove, is the collection site for the cans, but stations will be set up near soft-drink machines on campus. Hughes is hoping to pattern Earth Day ’80 after Earth Day 70, which stressed the need for pollution con- trol. “This day is in celebration of the environmental accomplishments made in the last 10 years, Hughes said. “Also, it is to spur another con scious interest in the environment.” The Putoma Corp., of Fort Worth, will pick up the cans and pay the club 35 cents a pound. There are approxi mately 24 cans per pound. The com pany estimates a minimum profit of $1,400, based on what a high school can collect. Any clubs with ideas for celebrat ing Earth Day should contact Hughes at 696-2845.
