(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. Surrounding Burle

believe what thete 1
’ against the hours
are to be used as host areas for the
residents of each section.
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.

Ags aid Mother Earth
For the next month Aggies will
have a chance to do Mother Earth a
favor by saving aluminum cans.
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.
