How Much Time Do We Have? Keep Working
1953

How much time do we have, minutes, days, months, years? We don't know. But this we do know – Civil Defense is everybody's business! Just what is Civil Defense? It's your answer to beat the A-bomb. Civil Defense is the way of saving lives and property. It's the way to protect you and your family in the case of enemy attack on the United States. It's the way of helping you to keep going in spite of attacks with atomic or biological warfare, or chemicals or conventional weapons. The aim of the enemy would be to make you and me and others quit our jobs, so that our defense plants would have to shut down. Our aim, then, is to keep working because we must give to our armed forces the things they need to win. We must prepare now! How much time do we have to prepare? We don't know. But this we do know! Civil Defense is everybody's business! It's your business!
