CANADA PREPARES TO
'DEAL . �. L WITH DISASTER.

Civil Defence
.A. Community Obligation
Police, fire, public utilities and
other municipal services, standing
by to protect and serve their em-
ployers, --the people -under all cir-
cumstances, are counted upon by
Civil Defence authorities to form
the backbone as well as the nucleus
of agencies for dealing with dis-
aster.
By the very nature of their em-
ployment, public servants in all
such categories are civil defence
workers and this, according to .of-
ficials co-ordinatiing the country's
preparedness program, extends
even to those who work in mun-
icipal offices or hold jobs which,
normally, do not call for the type
of action which emergency would
demand,
Since the maintenance of normal
amenities in the community is a
local concern, with services coni
stantly employed to ensure the
safety, comfort and well-being of
the citizen, Canada looks to these
very agencies to spearhead mea-
sures which may be needed to
tackle problems beyond anything
they usually encounter. "
The whole framework of civil
defence has been built around
rrninicipal autonomy, and respon-
sibility, with provincial govern-
ments assisting by providing facil-
ities for training, equipment, etc.,
and :the federal government co-
ordinating all phases of prepared-
ness and helping the provinces to
build up strong defensive forces.

SUPPORT
r LAKE
AND RECEPTION AREA.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
But, as crises they may face will
undoubtedly be far beyond their
normal capacity, the civic services
are not expected to be able to cope
with them without considerable
help from the rank, and file citizen
of their communities.
They will require large numbers
of volunteers to reinforce their
ranks, and they are already being
provided, in many municipalities,
with additional equipment, as well
as with special training, to enable.
them to deal with mass disaster,
such as war would bring.
Every able-bodied Canadian is
counted upon to lend a hand in
dealing with emergency, whether
it comes in time of peace or war.
It is inherent in democratic society
that the community be in a posi-
tion to enlist such service from all
who belong to, and benefit by, that
society.
As preparedness measures, many
municipalities are enrolling in their

civil defence services, and giving
special training to, large numbers
of men and women who have in-
dicated their willingness and abil-
ity to serve in time of emergency.
There is urgent need, in many
places, for more volunteers to act
as auxiliary police, firemen, utility
workers etc., for duty on lines of
communication, with transport, at
welfare centres and most import-
ant of all, as wardens in their own
localities. Only when the ranks of
these services are adequately fill-
ed and the volunteers have reach-
ed a degree of operational effici-
ency for the tasks which may be
required of them, can a community
feel that it possesses the capacity
for dealing with trouble and for
extending a proper measure of
protection to its citizens.
Rural Areas, Too
Residents of unorganized rural
areas have a role to fill in pre-
paredness, too. While their own
sections may never undergo direct
enemy attack, their facilities and
skills will be needed if ever dis-
aster comes to Canada on the scale
that can be visualized.
At least, such areas will be call-
ed upon to look after refugees
from stricken places and, where
they have established such services
for their own protection, they may
be asked to reinforce civil defence
workers dealing with incidents in
other places.
In the main, the "open" spaces
of Canada are being organized as
mobile support and reception areas
where emphasis is on welfare and
medical services, to handle the
great numbers of casualties and
evacuees which the larger places
may require to send out to them.
Civil defence, officials point out,
is total preparedness—not merely
of possible target areas or even of
populous communities, but of all
the people, wherever they may
live. Civil defence means every-
one, wherever he may live.
