Description

Produced for the Department of Home Security by Eric Bedford. Technical direction by the National Emergency Services NSW. The Minister of Home Security asks civilians to prepare for total war. The population should know what actions to take to save lives and property. An appeal for citizens to become warderns, first aid workers, ambulance drivers and roof spotters. Everyone should volunteer unless old, too young or sick. Shots of the 'Blitz' on London as an example of what happens to cities in modern war.
