STATE OF MINNESOTA
I. GENERAL, SITUATION AND MISSION
A. GENERAL
l. Desi�nation:
This plan is designated "THE ST. PAUL CIVIL DEFENSE OPERATIONA.L
SURVIVAL PLAN" and hereinafter shall be referred to as "The Plan."
2. Authorit,y: .
The authorit� of The Plan is established by U.S. Public Law 920,
81st Congress; Chapter 12 Minnesota Laws, 1951 as amended; the Minnesota
State Operational Survival Plan; and the St. Paul Civil Defense Ordinance of
1951 as amended. The St. Paul Civil Defense Ordinance provides for Civil
Defense and for the protection and promotion of public safety, health and
welfare in the City of St. Paul during Civil Defense emergencies including
major natural disasters.
3: scope:
�
The scope of this plan includes City Civil Defense policies,
organization, shelter and warning systems, management of resources in the
immediate post-attack emergency period, coordination of school disaster plan-
ning and delineation of service responsibilities for nuclear and natural
disasters. �
�. Definitions:
a. Civil Defense Emergency
An emergency declar.ed by the President of the United States,
or by the Governor of the State of Minnesota under the provisions of US PL 920
and Chapter 12 of Minnesota Statutes.
b. Major Natural Disaster .
A tornado, earthquake, flood, fire, aircraft accident or in-
dustrial accident of such magnitude as to warrant the declaration of an emer-
gency by the Mayor under his police powers for the preservation of life and
property.

Glossary pro�ided as Appendix 7.
B. SITUATION
1. Back�round�
The existence of world tensien may continue for an indefinite
period. This and ihe technalogical developments in weapons make it a matter
of national concern that action be taken to insure, insofar as possible, the
survival of the Nation by protecti_ng its people, resources and form of govern-
ment. Protection of the Nation's manpower, resources and �overnmental struc-
ture can be accomplished only by pre-attack planning and action. Major,
large scale, natural or man-made disasters may require extraordinary central-
ized local government coordination to insure prcper management of resources
and rapid restoratiori of facilitiest
2. General• �
A planned nuclear war is relativelY unlikely. The catastrophic
results of a nuclear exchange between this cauntr� and any potential enemy
make such an exchange the least acceptable alternative in a world of con-
flicting ideologies and varyirig forms of government. However, as a nation,
we cannot discount the fact that a massive nuclear exchange is possible
through miscalculation, accident, or a process of escalation from a limited
war. Because of these possibilities, practical preparations must be made
that are feasible and flexible, and kept current at all times. These same
preparations are easily transferable and applicable to the management of
major natural disasters�
3. Attack Considerationse
It is impossible to predict either the exact nature of a poten-
tial enemy's intentions or the specific objectives of an attack. It cannot
be predicted with any degree of accuracy how an enem� would pattern his attack,
• how many weapons he would use, or what the total magnitude of an attack might
be. Capabilities of unfriendly countries can be assessed within a reasonable
range of probability. Planning must account• for all possibiliiies over the
entire range of probable enem� capabilities and probable objectives.
a. Delivery Systems
Developments over recent years have advanced the "state-of-the-
art" for delivering high yield nuclear weapons, An attack, to be effective,
would have to integrate several types of delivery systems. The most likely
attack would probably combine Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) ,
aircraft (bomb and air-launched missiles) , submarine-launched missiles, and
sabotage. The probable attack combination will change as weapons system tech-
nology changeso However, this is imp ortant only insofar as the delivery method
affects the warning time, because the destructive power of- a given nuclear
weapon is the same whether delivered by airplane or missile.
- 2 - Revised: October 1968
St. Paul OSP
�b. Vulnerabilit� �
With high yield nuclear weapons and advanced delivery
systems, no place in the world is invuln�rable to damage from attack, ,
Even under the most favorable conditions, no couritry can completely deny
penetration to all weapons, Under �hese circumstances, it must be rec-
ognized that some weapons could be detonated within the United States.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a defense posture which will assure
maximum survival of the Nation. Attacks on the United States could have
as their purpose a wide range of objectives� from the neutralization of
United Staies re�aliatory capabilities to the reduction of the United
States to political, ecanomic and military impotency.
(1) The major initial enemy effort would pr,q�b�bly be
directed at the retaliatory missile and strategic bomber bases in the
United Stateso This would include the warning and computer centers which
support and direct the actions of these retaliatory forces. .
(2) Concurrerit and/or subsequent attacks may be directed
at industrial and communications centers which would necessarily include
highly populated urban arease
(3) As the enemy capabilit� in numbers of weapons and
delivery means increases beyond that required to neutralize our retalia-
tory capability, it can be expected that more of the initial attack may
be directed at governmental, industrial, transportation and population
centers.
(4) Surface bursts would be employed where it is desired
to create radioactive f allout which would increase casualties and interfere
with military and civilian activity for days or weeks. Air bursts would be
employed when blast eff ects over larger areas are desired.
�a{
(�) The nuclear weapons used will cause complete destruc-
tion at ground zero to heavy damage ta most buildings out to a radius of
5�µto._.7 miles based on a 5 megaton surface or air burst respectively.
� (6) Radioactive fallout resulting f rom surface burst of
_weapons, whether on or off the intended target, will spread downwind over
��a considerable area. A massive attack of 3,000 megatons will produce radio-
active fallout of lethal intensity aver 60 percent of the U.S.Ao land mass
within 2� hours after the attack.
� c. Non-Nuclear Threat
Use of both chemical and biologica•1 agents is a possibilit,y.
Neither of these is considered to be as serious a threat to national survival
as are nuclear weapons. Chemical agents may be used against specific point
, targets but are not considered a useful strategic weapon because of delivery
problems and the difficulty of controlling the effects. Similarly, the use
of biological agents in sufficient quantities to be useful as a strategic wea-
pon is considered unlikely because discovery would provide long strategic '
warning. However, it is possible that these agents might be used in conjunc-
tion with or subsequent to a nuclear attack where specific additional post-
attack damage effects are desired. Psychological warfare and an intensive

propaganda effort will accampany any attack in order to magnify and distort
the real situation, disrupt defense programs, impair essential production
and weaken the will to fighi.
4. Warnir►g ,
Planning Civil Defense actions and operations is dependent upon
warning time. The complexity of warning time and the definition of warning
itself make it difficult to develop assumptions. Detection systems designed
to provide effective warning have a high degree of sophistication. The speed
of weapons delivery 'system has advanced so that the time from initiation of
an attack to weapon arrival on target is measured in minutes.
a. For planning purposes, there are three warning situations
of significance. These are:
(1) ° Attack with no warning. A nuclear detonation in the
vicinity provides the only initial warning.
(2) Tactical Warning. A natification that an enemy has
initiated an attack. Such warning may be received any time from the launching
of an attack until arrival on target.
(3) Strategic Warning. A notification that enemy-initiated
hostilities ma� be imminent. The time element may vary from several hours
to several days.
b. Civil defense warnings of an attack on the Continental United
States (CONUS) will be received frcm the North American Air Defense Command
(NORAD) over the National Warning System (NAWAS) through the State NAWAS Warning
� Point. Warnings wil]� be received by the City cf St. Paul by radio, and/or
telephone and/or Bell and Light receiver devices.
ce Tactical warning is more likely than strategic warning. Some
portions of the country may have no warning. The fact that an attack has be-
gun may serve as tactical warning to other areas.
d. Strategic warning of the population is a possibility, though
not the most likely situation. Since it is a possibility, it must be con-
sidered in plans related to the conditions that may result from an attack.
e. The most important factor in considering warning time and its
relation to planning is the trend toward reduction of warning time which means
plans must be prepared, tested, and exercised in advance, and must be automatic
and self-triggering.
• � af. In major natural disasters, the most important consideration
in warning ir� disseminating official information and instructions to the pub-
lic in the fastest manner possible. Initial warning may be given citizens by
the outdoor siren system, as in the case of a touchdown tornado in or approaching
, the metropolitan areao Specific official information on the nature of the threat
will be given by commercial radio stations.

, 5. Civil Defense Capabilities of St. aaul:
St . Paul has a populatian af approximately 31�,000 people living
within an area cf abcut 56,G square �%les. The Clty's work force includes
about 70,000 persons invclved in nor�-agri�ulture employment. There are ap-
proximately 2,500 municipa� employees� All Ciiy employees will be utilized
to perform civil defense energen�y f�anctions�
Sto Paul has approxima�ely 430 regular police and 440 regular firemen
, trained in disaster procedures� These fc.rces are augmented by auxiliary
forces trained and directed by �he Palice and Fire Bureaus�
The City of St. Paul has apprcximately 3,200 licensed hospital beds to
provide medical services on an emergency basis.
While Sto Paul has sufficient Public Fallout Shelters for the entire
populace, some of these shelters are not well located with relation to popu-
lation.
St. Paul is a major manufacturing, iridustrial and transportation center
with considerable supplies of ra� materials, finished products and food stuffs�
The implementation of The Plan and the prcper utilization of local re-
sources gives the City a capability to recaver from the indirect effects of
a nuclear attack and ma�or natural disasters,
6o Militar,y Capabilit�:
A Memorandum c+f Agreement between the State Director of Civil
Defense and the State Adjutant General provides that:
a, Civil Defease missions �e which elements of �he Mili�ary
Services stationed in the St. Paul area may be assigned will be considered ,
secondary to military missions. Support from the Armed Services will be
available orily when it dces not affect their primary combat mission.
bo In the event military resources are available to St. Paul for
emergency operations, they taill be committed in a supporting role and the
military will retain command and ident�ty of their units.
Requests far emergency militar� assistance shall be made to the State
Director of Civil Defense . •
C. MISSION
When an attack on the United States is prcbable, imminent or actual,
all City emplayees, all public and private corporations, installations and
businesses in the Ciiy of St. Paul will direct their immediate and complete
effort to carrying out ihe provisions of The Plan with the objective of
_ minimizing casualties and property damage, and to facilitate recovery efforts .
In the case of a majer riatural disaster, public, quasi public and private
agencies will be employed to the exient dictated by the emergency. .
TI. ORGANTZATION STRUCTURE AND GENERAL PZAN
A. ORGANIZATION
1. The organization far the SCate of Minnesota for Civil Defense
is shown in Appendices 1 and 2�
- 5 - Revised: October 1968
St. Paul OSP
2. Ramsey County Organization f'or Civil Defense is shown in
Appendix 3. ,
3. The St. Paul Orgar�ization for Civil Defense is shown in Appen-
dix 4. A more detailed organizational structure is described in the Service
Annexes. ,
B. GENERAI� PLAN
l. Concept of Operations:
a. During pericds of emergency, caused by massive nuclear at-
tacks, or threat of such attacks, or ma_jor natural disasters, speed and
flexibility of governmental operations is essential. Accordingly, the
general plan of operations is based upon the concept of central control
and coordination of St. Paul Emergency Government through the St. Paul
Director of Civil Defense, under the direction of the Mayor. Lines of
succession for elected officials are described in paragraph V, A, 3. Pro-
visions shall be made by the City Clerk for preservation of vital govern-
mental records in coqrdination �aith the various Bureaus and Departments of
the City Government.
b. Civil Defense is a governmental function and The Plan will
be implemented b,y all departments, bureaus and agencies of City government
using their assY�ned personnel, services, equipment, supplies and such
auxiliaries and su lementar ersonnel as' re uired. (See Chapter 73�
City Legislative Code, Section 4, Subdivision 5.
2. Services:
Service Chiefs will be designated by the appropriate department
or bureau head for each Service shown in Appendix 4. Service Chiefs will
be responsible for the selection of a staff for their Service and for the
planning, organizaticn and training necessary for the execution of missions
assigned in paragraph III below. Separate Service instructions will be �
. prepared by each Service as an Annex 1;o �The Plan. Each Service Annex shall
be written to provide for both nuclear and major natural disaster operations.
3. Shelter:
a. The National Fallout Shelter System is based on providing
shelter space for the entire United States pepulation. In St. Paul, this
has been accomplished by:
(1) Identification of shelters in existing structures.
(2) • Licensing of appropriate facilities with fallout radia-
tion protection capability and the marking and stocking of such facilities.
b. The St. Paul Community Shelter Plan (CSP) describes which
shelters will be used by whom and when. The concept and description of the
St. Paul CSP is contained in Annex-W.
- 6 - Revised: October 1g68
St.Paul OSP
(1) The detailed instructions to the public are contained '
in the brochure "Assignment: Survival" to which is attached a sticker im- �
� � printed with a shelter assignment for each household unit.
(2) Public information and education activities will pro-
mote the CSP during peacetime and emergency information will be issued
during a time of crisis.
(3) Detailed operating instructions in support of the CSP
and shelter operations are contained in the respective Service Annexes
and are not repeated in Annex W.
(4) Shelter managers and radiological monitors will be
trained and assigned to specific shelters whenever and wherever possible.
4. Natural Disaster:
In the case of major natural disasters, and after declaration
of an emergenc� by the Mayor, appropriate City Civil Defense Services or-
ganized under this plan may be activated dependent upon the type of emer-
gency, i.e. , flood, tornado, major conflagrations, aircraft or industrial
accidents.
C. ACTIONS ON EMERGENCY AND/OR WARNING CONDITIONS
l. General Polic,y:
The State Director of Civil Defense pursuant to pre-established
policies and authorities approved by the Governor and the Governor's Civil
Defense Advisory Council has the authority and responsibility to determine
the type of attack warning to be issued by the State. The decision, author-
ity and procedure for signalling ATTACK WARNING on the metro area siren
system has been delegated to the Minnesota Highway Patrol R�dio Dispatchers
based on Attack Warning information received over the National Warning
System (NAWAS) from the OCD Warning Officer, North American Air Defense
Command (NORA.D) .
2. Emergenc,y Broadcast S,ystem (EBS) :
A system for using commercial AM & FM radio as a means of com-
municating official emergency instructions to the public has been estab-
lished as the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) . Radio stations holding
a National Defense Emergency Authorizations from the Federal Communications
Commission will remain on the air at normal� power frequencies before, during
' and following a nuclear attack to brta'adcast official information and instruc-
tions. This system will be activated by proper Federal authorities for
Federal, State and local government use.
� 3. Readiness Conditions (REACON') :
The four Civil Defense Readiness Conditions are listed below.
These will be issued by the Governor and transmitted by the State Department
- 7 - Revised: October 1g68
St� Paul OSP
� of Civil Defense through the Si. Paul Bureau of Civil Defense. Actions to
be taken pursuant to these RE�CONs are more fully described in subsequent
paragraphs.
Readiness Condition (REACON) 4 depicts a deterioration of inter-
national relations but no immediate danger of a breakdown of relations. Ac-
tion under REACON 4 would be accomplished by the Director of Civil Defense
and his immediate staff in checking alerting pr�cedures and other measures
to insure operability. No other staff would be assembled and no public no-
tice would be given of actions initiated under this condition.
Readiness Con�ition (REACON) depicts a worsening international
situation to the poin� ihat a possible break in international relations might
occur. Selected local elected and appointed government officials would be
alerted to this situation and certain administrative procedural actions
initiated.
Readiness Condition (REACON) 2 depicts serious deterioration of
international relaticnship� possible breach of those relations, and possibility
of hostile actions. See Appendix 6 for actions to be taken.
Readiness Condition (REACON) 1 depicts a situation in which the
President of the United States has informed the Governor and the public that
war is imminent or hostilities have already occurred.
4. Warning Conditions and Actions:
Because of variations in an enemy's attack pattern, the following
listing of warning conditions is iiot necessarily the order of possible occur-
rence. It is possible that the period of Strategic Warning would be omitted
and the warning advanced to the Attack Warnirig and TAI� COVER actions initiated.
a. Strategic Warning, REACON 2, (No Warning Point Warning Issued)
(1) During a period of increasing international tension, the
President of the United Sta.tes may issue a Strate�ic Warnin�. It is assumed
that this warning would be made to the public through a personal appearance
of the President on nation-wide radio and TV networks; however, it is possible
that such a warning might be transmitted through government channels only.
• For planning purposes, it will be assumed that such a warning would be effec�ed
8 to 72 hours prior to the estimated time of attack. If continued beyond 72
hours, national governmental decisions will govern the actions to be taken.
(2) The Emer�ency Broadcast S,ystem would not be invoked, and
sirens would not be used.
(3) Personnel on the City Callup List, Appendix 6, to The
Plan would be alerted and mabilized if the Governor proclaims a state of
Civil Defense Emergency. .
(4) Upon receipt of a national proclamation involving a con-
dition of Strategic Warning, the Governor of Minnesota may put into effect
all Civil Defense powers as defined by Chapter 12, Minnesota Statutes, 1951
and rules, regulations and orders issued under said Act. Upor� declaration
- 8 - Revised: October 1968
' St. Paul OSP
of such an emergency, all St. Paul City Bureaus, Departments and Agencies,
except the Council and Judiciary, will commence operations under the dir-
ection of the Mayor, as provided by The Plan, and the following actions
commenced:
(a) All traffic control points will be activated.
(b) All educational institutions will be closed.
. (c) Action for preservation of vital governmental
records will be completede
(d; Actions prescribed in the various Service Annexes
for this warning condition will be carried outo
(e) All public Shelter Staffs will be alerted.
(f) Hospitals and institutions will prepare for emer-
gency operations in those areas of their buildings providing fallout radia-
tion protection.
(g) The public will be kept informed of governmental
,_ actions and advised to revie� their own survival plans.
b. Attack Warning, REACON l, TAKE COVER
Attack Warning is warning of an attack already launched.
(1) This warning is received on Bell and Lights No. 3,
and by a five (5) minute warbling (wailing) tone on air warning sirens,
and as instructions f rom Governor and/or State Director of Civil Defense
via EBS, or commercial radio.
(2) This warning means there is less than fifteen (15)
minutes before a nuclear detonation might occur in or near St. Paul.
(3) This warning may come at any time without regard
to any other warning.
(4) Al1 persons will take the best available� cover when
the warbling siren sounds and/or th� TAI� COVER announcement is made over
the radio.
Best available cover is defined as: Basement of any '
building; interior corridors of buildings awa,y from entrances and windows;
ditches, culverts and other depressions in suburban or rural areas.
(5) All persons will remain under cover until instructions
to the contrary are received from official announcements on commercial, and/
or EBS radio.
- 9 - Revised: October 1968
St. Paul OSP
5. Trans Attack Actions (POST TAI� COVER) :
a. The nature of trans attack public announcements and public
actions will be dependent upon:
(1) The magnitude and duration of the initial attack.
- (2) Whether or not further attack is anticipated and the
probable time thereof.
(3) The anticipated time of the arrival of fallout.
(4) The extent of damage, if any, to St. Paul.
b, Information pertaining to (1) , (2) and (3) above will be
available only from State and/or Federal authorities.
c. Assuming that St. Paul is not extensively dam�ged, but
radioactive fallout is anticipated:
(1) If schools were in session, children in most elemen- •
tary schools will be dispersed to their homes when directed in accordance
with school disaster plans. Junior and senior high school students will
remain under the jurisdiction of the school administration and proceed to
fallout shelter when directed,
(2) Subsequent to elementary school dispersal, the public
will be directed via commercial radio to take shelter in public or private
fallout shelters and remain there until officially released.
� (3) Al1 EOC Staff and Service personnel who have not al-
ready done so will report to their assigned posts of duty and conduct such
activities as the situation will permit.
(4) Communications will be established with public shelters, �
and the public will be kept informed and under shelter management control. '
See Annex W, Shelter Management. .
(5) Radialogical monitoring will be conducted and plans
and preparations made for shelter emergence at the earliest time that radi-
ation levels will permit.
6. Post Attack:
a. Post attack is defined as that period after which no further
enemy action is expected and when fallout radiation levels have subsided
sufficiently to permit limited shelter emergence by emergency workers. As
radiation levels decrease, large scale remedial and recover� actions can be
undertaken toward eventual public emergence from fallout shelters.
- 10 - Revised: October 1968

St, Paul OSP
b. Activities during this phase will include:
(1) Decontamination operations, beginning with vital
utilities and public installations. •
(2) Damage assessment surveyse
(3) Rescue team actian as necessary and provisions for
medical care, food, cloihing and- lodging as required.
(4) Gradual emergence of shelterees as the situation permits.
(S) Maximum efforts to insure maintenance of law and order.
(6) Imposition of controls as necessary on critical re-
sources to include: manpower, transportation, consumer food and medical
items, prices and rents.
(7) Recaver�r and rehabilitation activities in vital business
and industry.
