Unit 2: Unit 2: The Cold War and Vietnam - Discussion

During the Cold War, American citizens were taught to prepare themselves and their families for the possibility of nuclear attack. Locate an example of a preparedness film or other document from the 1960s that offers advice on how to prepare for such an attack. Briefly describe the suggested preparation methods in the materials you found and post the link to the document.

Even though the Cold War has ended, the media and some politicians suggest that the United States is still at risk of nuclear or biochemical attack. Locate a video or document stressing preparedness today, post the link, and then describe how you prepare your family for whatever dangers (perceived or otherwise) exist now.
