Presentation transcript:

February 18 th Learning Target: I can understand how the Cold War affected American society. Opener: Predict: How did Americans react to the possibility of nuclear attack during the Cold War?

The text explains that in the event of Soviet bombers attacking the United States, air raid sirens will sound. Everyone is warned to find shelter as quickly as possible after sirens sound.

Many CDA posters encouraged people to make “Emergency Preparedness Plans,” which included packing food in jars or cans in basements or bomb shelters.

Text gives two sets of instructions for a “sneak attack without warning” and for when you hear an air raid siren first. In case of sneak attack, “duck and cover immediately,” wherever you are. In case of siren, get to shelter quickly, underground if possible.

Text advises: “avoid exposure to the flash by ducking and covering during blast” and “find shelter as quickly as possible.”

Closure Decide Do you think the Civil Defense program made Americans feel safer or more fearful? Why
