Review of Civil Defense Activities During Helene By JOHN' VALENTINE County Civil Defense Director I think it would be appropriate that all the county and city Civil Defense personnel should be given ' recognition (or their activities dur ing this past hurricane. The County Civil Defense agency met with the Red Cross representatives in the city hall at Morchead and for this past hurricane set up the mayor's office as a headquarters for the Red Cross. Previous to this meeting, the chairmen of Civil Defense in the various communities in the county were contacted as to their readi ness in rase the storm should ap proach this area. Storm shelters were arranged for at that time. Red Cross Present At the meeting the Red Cross was represented by Mr. Len Davis and Mr. George Guthrie. A plan was put into immediate action, as it was obvious that the storm had shifted and come up the coast, and that this county would be on the fringe, if not in the center area. The Rev. John Cline, president of the Ministers Association of Carteret County, previous to the storm was quoted on the air, ad vising all the ministers to keep their churches open as additional places of refuge for any evacuees In their particular areas. All the Civil Defense personnel in general throughout the county, aa previously mentioned, were in readiness to assist If and when called upon. Due to the lack of communication facilities in this county it was impossible after the atorm hit to contact the other areas. It ia quit* apparent that some plan of action should be taken as soon as possible by the County Board of Commissioners to pur chase, in conjunction with the Civil Defense agency and federal government, necessary equipment to insure during any enemy attack or future hurricanes or other na tural disaster complete communi cation from and to all areas in this county as well as with the main headquarters In Raleigh, the atate capital. Civil Defense will assist where it can before and after such a dis aster, especially tha public facili ties which would include both city, town and county damage, If de clared an emergency exists by the president of the US. It ia recom mended I f such an emergency exists that each municipality or county auditor engage a qualified engineer to prepare an estimate af damage for perusal by the Civil Defense representative. The Civil Defense and mobilisa tion of this county, recently reac tivated, has learned as a result of the recent storm what will be re quired in a future emergency and is at present endeavoring to create a Civil Defense system which will adequately and effectively take care of our needs, as well as co operating with other governing agencies. Food Supply It is further recommended, as a result of Civil Defense directives, that a seven-day food supply be kept on hand at all times in case of an emergency, either under war or natural disaster such as the re cent storm. Include in this seven day supply any medication being taken by the individual, blankets, and, if possible, a battery radio with spare batteries to keep in contact with local Civil Defense headquarters of the county. We will have a meeting in the near future of all the officials of the Civil Defense organization of Carteret County at which time def inite plans will be laid and duties for responsibilities outlined as well as literature and Information dis tributed explaining the activities of each office. A new appointment since the last announcement la Mr. Walter Edwards, manager of the Fry Roofing Co., as deputy Civil De fense director, of which there are two, the other being Mr. Leonard Safrit of Beaufort. Qaarters Desirable It Is further recommended that a substantial quarters be allocated or erected in the county to house all the necessary Civil Defense and mobilization activities which would include an emergency electric gen erating aet for broadcasting and receiving and a room large enough to contain all the necessary flies, maps, and general office equip ment for meetings of the Civil De fense officials of the county. Mrs. Mary Jane Hlldebrand can be contacted at PArk 6-4648 on Wednesdays or at PArk 6-5SS2 any other time to receive calls In re gird to Civil Defense activities and either direct such calls to the prop er authorities or have the Civil Defense director call them back.
