The following plan of operat~o~ for'"'th~ Palm Beach County Civil Defense RACES Communica- tions Organization takes Into conslderat.lon certain Inherent char- acterlstlcs of this type organization--whatever it might be~ -8- I-1-62 Annex A - Communications Service Palm Beach County Clvil Defense OSP - January I, 1962 (I) It is composed of volunteers. (2) Some of the equipment used Is privately owned. (3) It cannot be rigidly controlled during pre-attack periods, (~) There is a rapid change In the personnel enrolled In a given RACES group due to changes of residence and other factors. (5) Any truly effective RACES organization must be flex- Ible to allow for those variables. (6) Persons partlcipatlng in the RACES program are pat- riotic and Intensely Interested in Civil Defense Communications. (?) Persons attracted to the Amateur Radio Fleld are above average intelligencem are resourceful and can rapidly adjust to changing situations. b. Employment of RACES personnelm as set forth in this plan, provides for these characteristics and capitalizes upon the stronger ones. The key to thelr optimum employment is flexibility. c. The RACES Radio Officer in Palm Beach County will work closely with the RACES Radio Officer of SOFA, coordinating the service in'SOFA and In the Palm Beach County reception areas to best serve the Clvil Defense Services In both areas, as the target area Civil Defense services and Its populatlon evacuate Into Palm Beach County. d. The Palm Beach County Radio-RACES Communication Chief will be alerted by his communications officer when attack warning infor- mation is disseminated. The Radio-RACES Communications Chief has an accurate Key Alerting list covering all personnel In his organ- lzation, showing names, addresses, and telephone numbers (residence and business.), together with such other Information as may b~ ~eded. ~ ~,~rn.i,n~ Actions. a.

Radlological monitoring teams will be operating In Palm Beach County and wherever possible In the target damage area, All RACES Radio communication forces will keep In touch with these teams at all times and will be governed by the results of logical monitoring to avoid exposure to dangerous radio-active fallout and contamination, 5, ~requency Assignments, Frequencies available to RACES operators""ln Palm BeaCh County have been assigned and all RACES personnel are Informed as to these frequencies, PALS BEACH COUNTY RACES ORGANIZATION FREQUENCY ALLOCATION I. The RACES frequency allocations as assigned by the State Director of .ClvI! Defense are to be used by all RACES organizations In the State of FIorlda, The assignment of frequencies Is based on t:he quadrant system of allocation and affords the best possible Interference-free method of operation. In view of the fact that present RACES frequency assignments, provide only two I0 Kc. channels In the Iow frequency bands and slnce these frequencies provide the only long-haul clrculfs avail- able for RACES operations channel allocations In this band are reserved exclusively for the FLA CDOA RACES Network. The fre- quencies for the State of Florida are ~5OO.5 Kc. and ~505.5 Kc., C. W. and ~99~ Kc. ~phone. No other frequency allocations In this band are available below the State level. -lO- I - I -62 Annex A - Communications Service Palm Beach County Civil Defense OSP - January I, 1962 Due to long range propagation conditions existing in the I0 meter band and the resulting Interference problem thus created, network assignments will be confined to the VHF bands Insofar as practicable, Where the reservoir of available amateur equipment In the I0 meter band to Implement a civil defense RACES communi- cation system exists, advantage should be taken of this condltlon~ but all further plans should be based on use of the VHF channel allocations. All frequency assignments must be coordinated through the respective CDOA RACES Radio Offlcer and the State Communications Officer before final approval will be given, Deviation from the allocation pattern wlll only be considered in cases of extreme necessity, Each CDOA RACES Radio Officer is responsible to the State Communications Offlcer for the operation of thls allocations plan In his area, In order that the State Director of Clvil Defense may be provided with radio channels If required to operate In any given COOA. the frequencies of 50.355 Mc., 145.190 Mc. and 147.270 Mc. are reserved for thls purpose. Each CDOA wlll provide the ability to operate on these specific frequencies In accordance with In- structions from the State Director of Civil Defense. The 220-225 Ac. frequency allocations will be furnished as a separate assignment chart. These frequencles are particularly adaptable for local network operation and should be glven prime consideration In this respect. 2. Palm Beach County Net Frequency Assignments a.

PART II - S ITUAT ION AND ASSUI~PT ION 4. The greater portion of Palm Beach County's population of approximately 245,000 people is located with potential target areas on its Immediate North and South boundaries, There are no conventional ctvil defense shelters and few buildings which could offer substantial protection from anything other than fallout. Business and Industrial firms and householders are encouraged to create %ale sheltere areas for personal use and use of employees against the possibility of attack without warning or of attack expected within such a short time that evacuation would be im- practical. With sufficient warning, evacuation is still counted upon as the best means of saving the most lives. 5. Assumptions a. It must be assumed that tn the event of attack on ~/est Paim Beach and Palm Beach County, most, If not al I, media resources would be destroyed. Therefore, ful I use must be made of public communications media immediately an attack warning is sounded to transmit survival information. b. It is also assumed that civil defense volunteers and the general public will be prepared to participate in the survival effort to their full abilities. c. This plan is based on the assumption that actual or threatened attack warnings will be more or less as follows: (!) Strategic warning: a period ranging ~rom an estimated 12 hours to several days. Evacuate non-essential pop- ulation on voluntary basis. -2- I-i-62 Annex J - Public Affairs Palm Beach County Civil Defense OSP - January I, 1962 (2) Tactidal Warning. a period when a possible attack is reported on the way, with an expected arrival time rang- ing from two hours to a few minutes.

It is designed as an interim program to serve in the period between the attack and the time that appropriate Federal and/or State regulations are put into effect. 2, Situation, Palm Beach County possesses certain unique characterlSt'icS 'which will bear Influence in a post attack situa- tion, These characteristics should be kept in mind in the design and Implementation of economic stabilization controls and policies. Principal among them are: a, Geographical Iocat' · ion. Situated as it is on the southeastern part o~: the Florida penninsulav the county has the option of obtaining supplies from the northv south~ and west. b, Agricultural Activity: The county produces about $120 million in agricultural products yearly. I~ain items~are winter vegetables~ citrus fruits~ avacados~ and mangoes. The agricultural land is well confined in the area in the western part of the county, c, There are approximately 28~835 hotel and motel unitsw and rooms available, -I- 1-I-62 'Annex P - Economic Stabillzation Palm Beach County Civil Defense ,/."OSP - January I, 1962 3, Obj.ectlyes a. To obta'~n control of necessary consumption Items at the earliest possible moment in order to reduce consumer hoarding and the possibility ~or the development oP future black market activities. b. To outline procedures for the distribution of potential- ly scarce items in an equitable manner, c. To outline procedures for the implementation of neces- sary price control programs. d. To maintain an operative and sound monetary sysl;em. 3; Procedures' The procedures discussed below must necessar- Ily broad in outline. While it would be advantageous to speci- fy the inventories of items that might be expected to be on hand at any point tn time and to derive from these inventories estimates _. o~ the ungency of controls on these itemst such inventories exist for a very limited number of items. A truly effective plan for economic stabilization would require detailed knowledge of Inven- tor|esv consumption requirementst sources of supplyt locations of inventories~ and distributive channels. Such information is~ at the moment, largely unavailable. In its absence~ certain aasump= tions and ~>road estimates are made. Except in the case o~ some locally produced agricultural productst it is assumed that all consumption items in wholesale or retail stock in Palm 8each County at any time are destined for local consumption and there is no local stock-pti lng for future export. Stocks would be expected to be greatest in the early winter and through the tourist season~ the periods of greatest local consumption demands. With this qualifying assumption~ rough estimates o~ retailing and wholesaling stocks can be constructed through the use of standard stock trunover data.

SECTION II ORGANIZATION 5. Or~anizationo The Director of Palm Beach County shall, act as Director ~f Economic Stabilization and will call principally upon his staff to fill support positions, Five dlvlsionai chiefs are requlred~ each responsible for a specific phase of the program. Also~ each voting preclnct In the County will require a manager who shall be responsible for the many duties of registration and Issuance of rationing materials and scrip. -5- I - 1-6~ · ~ Annex P - Economic Stabilization ~, Palm Beach County Civil Defense O~P - January I, 1962 SECT ION II! EXECUTION AND GENERAL INSTRUCT ION Food (~aso I i ne Price Controls Hous ing Monetary Contro I s Tenter lye Act iol~s 6, Food, a. Obtaining control of existing supplles of foodstuffs-T-- An Important asset to the establishment of controls over tentatively scarce Items will be prtor consumer knowledge of and Sy~rpathy with necessary control procedures, The local civil defense - authorities will~ therefore~ take every opportunity to advise the publ ic that.' (I) In an attack situation~ food and gasoline will be in short supply and that Immediate controls will be placed on their distribution, Retail and wholesale establishments wlll be closed for an indefinite period following the attack. (2) Individual preparation for such shortages can do much to alleviate pressures in the immediate attack situation. Such preparation should include'- (a) Maintenance of two week's supply of canned and other non-perishable goods at all times, (b) Maintenance of a minimum of ~ tank of gasoline in vehicles at all times, (c) Preparation for electrical failure through maintenance of a supply of candles and "canned heat~ for cooking _ purposes, Because of local awareness of hurricane conditions, many households maintain such supplies constantly, As soon as practical after the initial alert is sounded{ a general announcement shall be made via all operative mass communi- cations media. This announcement shall include the directive that all commercial establishments (except those essential for some other phase of alert and attack operations) shall be closed. The close order shall remain in effect until specific reopening direc- tives are issued, It is to be expected that enforcement of the close order will be most difficult in the immediate post-attack period, when con- sumer anxieties will be highest and enforcement personnel are urgently needed for evacuation efforts. It shall be the task of the Palm Beach County Director to assess the availability of -4- I- 1-62 Annex P - Economic Stabilization Palm Beach County Civil Defense OSP- January I, 1962 enforcement personnel and the relative importance of the various tasks with which they are faced. He shall deploy enforcement per- sonnel to the Director of Economic Stabilization as quickly and In as great numbers as possible on the basis of his judgement of= needs. The Director of Economic Stabilization shall then direct the enforcement personnel placed at his disposal to key posts accord- lng to a pre-arranged schedule. This schedule should be developed Immediately and kept up-to-date, It should contain a listing of ail retail and wholesale food outlets their locations, and the relative size of their stocks. A similar accounting of gasoline stations and bulk storage installations should be made. On the basis of this information, the Director of Economic Stabilization shall have prepared the schedule by which he can deploy enforcement personnel to the most important sites and in the numbers needed to insure comp I i ance w i th the c lose order. b. Duration of the close order. It is obvious that the close order must be lifted at the earl lest possible moment. Consumers will need supplies, there will be danger of total loss of perishables, if there has been a power fat lure, and the maintenance of unreal Istic control might do much to undermine public confidence In the provisional government. At the same time, premature reopening, without adequate provision against disorder could have the effect of promoting unrealistic public hysteria. The degree of public anxiety and the forms in which it may manifest itself will depend on a host of variables that cannot be predetermined. It may generally be presumed, how- ever, that the premature opening of stores would have greater harm than possible savings of perishable goods would justify. Nevertheless, every effort shall be made to preserve food- stuffs by aiding grocers in transporting such geods to warehouses which have auxiliary power or by aiding in the emergency installa- tion of such auxi{iary units as may be available. If pre-attack education has been effective, it is to be expected that most families will have a supply of food on hand sufficient to answer their needs for a few days. Nevertheless, there will be those without supplies as well as families whose food stores may have been destroyed. Provision must be made for feeding these. Two alternatives present themselves - opening the stores or utilizing restaurant and ~soup kitchens~ in the Immediate post- attack situation. In the expected scarceness of enforcement per- sonnel and well organized controls, the latter seems to offer the better-solution for the one or two days immediately following the attack. The Economic Stabilization Oirector shell, therefore, -5- 1~}-62 Annex P - Economic Stabilization ". Palm Beach County Civil Defense '" OSP - January It 1962 authorize the establishment of outlets for the controlled distribu- tion of food for on premises consumption, These shall be scattered over the area in accordance with the geographical distribution and density of the population. To as great extent as possible~ they will uti l ize restaurants which are by definition equipped for large scale feeding. Supplies for these restaurants should be purchased from neighboring grocery stores and from restaurants not used as distribution points~ under the supervision of Civil Defense per- sonnel. Care should be taken to insure that perishables are used first. Store owners are to be authorized to sell goods only to Civil Defense personnel showing proper authorization from the Economic Stabi I ization Director, On the earliest day practicable after the, attack~ consumer registration is to be conducted at the normal voting precinct offices of the County or other designated places, Upon registration, voters will be given pre-printed cards, bearing official Insignia _, and authorizing the purchase of groceries. These cards will be valid for a period of one week, beginning on the day that the cards are first made available. Cards will specify the dollar volume of food that may be purchased by each Individual, The value shall vary in accordance with the age of the person. The Economic Stabilization Director will set these values Immediately in order that the cards may be pre-printed, Procedures shall be set up at the registration places to insure that no individual receives two cards. This is to be accom- plished by careful identification of applicants and verification of dec I ared dependents. The cards shall be printed in such a way as to al Iow grocers to punch out the value of foods purchased. Enforcement of this punching Is imperative. A I I grocery stores wt I I be open s imu I taneous I y on the day that registration commences. During the week following the initiation of the card sys- temt the Economic Stabilization Director shall conduct studies of the effectiveness of such controls and of the Items which are becoming critically short in supply, It would be expected that, under a dollar value purchase program~ the more expensive foods would be neglected in favor of those that represent greater bulk in relation to cost. Also, certain staples, particularly milk, will probably develop in great demand. In the case of milk~ the ESD shall~ at his discretion, Inltlate the following: (I) A program to assist local dairymen in restoring pro- duction to as near normal levels as possible. -6- I-i-§2 Annex P - Economic Stabilization Pel~ Beach County CiVil Defense OSP- January I~ IC262 (2) Interim-specific controls on the sale .o,f re. ilkt e.g.t sale of milk only on presentation of the registration cards of chi ldern under I0 and then only in limited quantities. Sim liar controls ma,/ be placed on other- items at the discretion of the ESD, The problem of the disposal of high value foOdStuffs may be met by placing price ceilings on these goods in the event that grocers do not voluntarily reduce the prices (particularly In the case of perishables) to avoid total toss. c, Ration lng System. By the end of the first week, it is anticipated that the ESD shall have sufficient experience to enable him to formulate ration values for most Items. He shall not, however~ have had time to print rationing stamps or to post values in the stores. Thereforet new cards must be Issued for the second weekt although additional specific controls~ such as that on mi lk~ may be ~nsti- tuted. In the second week~ ration stamps shall be printed and preparation made for the posting of values, The stamps shall be distributedv again at voting precinct stations, upon surrender of the second week's dollar value card. Posting of the point value of items shall not be done until the morning of the day upon which the rationing program becomes effective. d. Maintaining Controls. The local rationing program must be extremely flexible so that it may operate properly as an equating factor between supply and demand. Its a~option must be coupled with an extensive pro- gram, under the supervision of the ESD~ to secure constant Intel- I lgence pertaining to available supplies~ new shipmentsv etc, The rationing program assumes thatr by the third week following the attack~ some food supplies shall begin reaching the area. If this assumption proves unrealistic~ it is doubtful that any program of rationing can be effectiver for suppl les will be so short as to obviate any control other than direct confiscation by government and the establishment of a temporary dole system. Under the assumption of new supplies, however~ it is manda- tory that all foodstuffs brought into the County be registered with the ESD together with the name of the outlet to which they are directed. Constant supervision must be maintained, both as an aid to determining inventories and rationing values and as an impediment to potential blackmarket activity which could undermine the program, -7- I-!-62 Annex P - Economic Stabilization Palm Beach County Civil Defense OSP - January I, 1962 e. Duration of'loCal controls: ~ The Jocal rationing system shall be maintained intact until superseding regulations from State or National .governments are placed in operation. 7. Gasol ina. a. Obtaining control of the supply: ( ! ) The in i t i a I dec i s ion perta in ing to gaso tine sup- plies'must be made on the basis of Civil Defense orders for evacua- tion or, contrariwise, for the population to remain in Palm Beach County. (2) If evacuation is orderedw gasoline stations must remain open at the cost, if necessary, of deploying Civil Defense personnel to man them. Assuming an average tank capacity of 20 gal Ions, it would take about 3 million gal Ions to fill all of the vehicles in the County. Neverthelessw some gasoline can be assumed _ to exist in the vehicles, two car families would probably leave one behind, and some service vehicles would be abandoned. There- forew it seems reasonable to al Iow all persons to fill their tanks from the supply even though this would seriously deplete stores in the event of a return to the County. ($) If the population is to remain in the County, which is the assumption of the previous section of food controls, the preservation of gasoline for essential uses is mandatory. The ESD shall undertake to do this via the following procedures: (a) He shall order all fill lng stations closed as soon as possible after the first alert. (b) There shall be no general reopening of these stations until sources of supply are again in operation. (c) Enforcement personnel shall exercise strict surveillance over the stations to guard against infractions. (d) The ESD shall prepare immediately a list of - vehicles engaged in essential activities. This list shall Include: (i) Civil Defense vehicles (1t) Communications maintenance and repair veh i c I es (iii) Electrical repair vehicles (iv) Ambu Iances (v) Doctors' vehicles (vi) Law enforcement vehicles (e) The ESD shall designate strategically lo- cated filling stations for use as supply sources immediately after the attack. The number of such stations shall depend on available personnel. Each station will be manned by Civil Defense or other enforcement personnel who shall be responsible for delivering gasoline to authorized vehicles only, -8- I-I-62 Annex P - Economic Stabilization Palm Beach County Civil Defense O~P - January I~ 1962 if) Vehicles~ other than those designated as above by the ESD~ requiring cjasoline shall be granted such Fuel only upon showing the essential nature of their use. The deter- mination of such use shall be left to the Civil Defense or enforce- ment leader of each respective fill lng station. (g) As the supply of Fuel at a stat ion becomes exhausted~ the ESD shall designate an alternate station. ih) Owners of stations are to be advised of the use of their stocks and are authorized to charger where possible~ for the cjasollne or to make a del;ailed accounting For later 'payment of those vehicles drawing on their supplies. Under no circumstances howeverr Is any authorized vehicle to be denied Fuel because of an inability to pay For it. b. Rationing: No rat ion lng program is to be estab I ished unt i I sources of supply become operative again. When supply becomes available~ the ESD shall make computations to determine whether there Is sufficient quantity For vehicles other than those considered es- sential. Allocation of any excess shall be made, even then~ on the basis of need. Registration shall again be conducted at voting precinct stations~ and cards authorizing Fixed amounts of gasoline with a one week's period and subject to weekly renewal shall be Issued. Amounts and priorities shall be modified regularly In consideration of supply and changes in the community~s patterns of need. c. Duration= The local rationing program shall remain effective until superseding State or Federal controls become operative. 8. Pr Ice Controls. The E$O shall issue a Freeze order on prices as soon as possible after the Initial alert. He shall conduct a constant inspection system to insure compllancer determining appropriate penalty For violation. Only in the first two weeks after the attack~ during which time the dollar value cards shall be in use~ shall price modifications be made~ and these only on the directive of the ESD. 9. Hous.!ncj. Because of the earlier mentioned supply of tourist units available~ ne major shortage of housing is Foreseen. However, where necessary~ the ESD shall have authority to commandeer available units For the use of homeless persons. Price controls shall apply to all rental units and to the sale of real estate. If tourist units are utilized~ a moderate rent schedule may be established by the ESD. I-I-62 Annex P - Economic Stabilization Palm Beach County Civil Defense OSP - January I~ 1962 I0, Monetary Cont~'ols. a, The'degree of disruption in the money supply and in the functioning of the monetary exchange system will depend tn the main on two conditions." (I) The amount of public confidence in the stability and safety of the currency. (2) A return to normal or semi-no,.mai economic activ- ity at the earliest posstble time. b. While World War II offered some indication of public 'n reaction to rationl g and price controls~ no such guidellnes exist in regard to monetary controls which might be necessitated by temporary breakdown in the community's productive ope~ations. Therefore, any proposal for monetary stabilization must be extreme- ly flexible and the on-the-spot judgement of authorities as to the propriety of given actions must be relied II. Tentative Acttons. It ts expected that an early reaction of the public in the Immediate post-attack period would be an attempt to withdraw funds from banks and other savings institutions. Since the demands of all depositors could not posslb!y be met~ an hysteria occasioned by the fear of less would probably result and~ in turn~ would lead to outbreaks of theft~ vandal ism and general lawlessness. Therefore~ a closing of all financial institutions during and after the attack Is warranted. This ctosing should be coupled with a general announcement by the ESD al~atlng that savings are being held Intact~ that cash and coinage are belng honored~ and that a return to the check system is contemplated at as early a date as poss lb I e.
