FIRE INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CIVIL DEFENSE COMMAND AND CONTROL

By assuming a hypothetical nuclear attack on various targets in the United States, including two in the vicinity of San Francisco, elements of civil defense operations requiring transattack and postattack fire information are identified. Through the assessment of probable types of fire operations within the framework of the assumed attack, the types and volume of fire information at the local level are summarized. It is concluded that less information, of a more general nature, is needed at the State, Regional, and Federal levels.
