OPERATION “ALERT”
Kendall County is one of the
fortunate four counties in the
State of Texas which has not
suffered a major disaster with-
in the past ten.years. The law
of averages could cafch up to us
at any time and if and when it
does we may minimize damage
and danger by being properly
organized and zy exercising due
precautions.
Your Civil Defense and Red
Cross Disaster Relief Committee
is designed to cope promptly
with any sort of disaster. On the
National scale, the primary con
cern is with possible enemy at-
tack with nuclear weapons,
•which is of indirect concern fo
us since there are no primary
targets in our country. In the
case of an actual attack, how-
ever, we might have to evacuate
to avoid'radio-active fall-out or
we might have to take care of
evacuees from danger areas.
Our most probable danger is
from storms, tornado, hurricane
flood or winter icing with ac-
companying power failure.
Your Defense and Disaster
Committee organization is as
follows: Judge C. G. Newton and
Col. Walter Kreinheder as co-
chairmen with local sub-com-
mittees in each community. For
Boerne, headquarters in the
County Judge’s Office with the
Sheriff’s Office as alternate and
the Telephone Exchange assist-
ing in any way possible. The
Boerne Committee: Col. J. F.
Thompson, Jr., Chairman; L. E.
McQuinn, alternate. chairman
and sub-committee chairman for
communications; Alex Fish,
Transportation; Eve Roberts,
Medical supplies; Lena Taylor,
food and clothing; Ed. Whit-
worth, heavy equipment. Mack
Green, emergency police; Roy
Liesman, hospital and housing;
and John Eddie Vogt, Boy
Scouts.
In order to give our organiza-
tion a more realistic work-ouf
in the practice alert on July 20,
we simulated a storm warning
which was followed through in
every way. The general alert
came in at 9:20 A. M. and at-
9:35 A. M. a Kendall County
practice storm warning came
throuh. Col. Kreinheder and
Col. Thompson at the Court
House headquarters; fhe four
radio equipped cars were im-
mediately dispersed throughout
the county, Deputy Vadnais to
Comfort, Deputy Brooks to Sis-
terdale, the Sheriff at the Court
House headquarters and Judge
Newton cruising to relay mes-
sages and to direcf activities
from first hand information.
The fire siren sounded the warn
ing and at 9:45 all committees
had reported on station and
ready to go. At 10:00 A. M. the
radio car at Comfort reported
a funnel shape cloud north of
town and bearing south-east. He
was ordered fo stand by and the
car at Sisterdale to close in and
track the storm. At 10:15 Dep-
uty Brooks reported that the
tornado had squarely hit War-
ing but that he could not get
through because of fallen frees
and debris in the roads. Heavy
equipment was theoretically
sent out from Comfort to clear
the riads and at 10:45 it was
reported that all buildings ex-
cept two were demolished, five
people had -been killed and fif-
teen injured; doctors, ambulan-
ces, blood plasma, medical sup-
plies, food for one meal for fifty
people, emergenry police and
Boy Scoufs were needed. Within
minutes all necessary equipment
and men were on the way to
help and all committees func-
tioned smoothly. The “A1 Clear”
was sounded immediately and
the test was over, very realis-
tic and satisfactory.
The signal system has been
changed as follows: One blast of
one minute on the fire siren will
be the “alerf.” A second long
blast of two minutes will signi-
fy that danger is close at hand
and to take over. The “all clear”
will be five short blasts on the
siren. Remember these signals,
please.
