What do to in a gas attack // 1943 PSA by American Government

In 1943, because of world war 2, the United States was faced with the danger of gas attacks. To help Americans prepare and survive this attack, the U.S. government released a Public Service Announcement (PSA) with the following advice.

First, take cover immediately. Look for a place that is close to the ground and preferably has walls or a roof. Crouching or lying down can help protect you from shards of broken glass or debris.

Second, close all windows and doors and keep them closed until you receive an all-clear signal from the authorities.

Third, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth or towel to protect yourself from inhaling noxious fumes.

Finally, stay in your safe space for at least an hour after the attack has ended. This will give the authorities time to assess the situation and provide further instructions.

By following these simple steps, you can help ensure your safety in the event of a gas attack.
