Believe it or not, civil defense in the 1950's was less irrational than it seems now. The only way to deliver atom bombs back then was the bomber, and the Soviets had prop-driven "Bear" bombers, which would take many hours to get to the USA and most were quite likely to be shot down beforehand. So it was possible that few enough bombs would hit the USA to make Civil Defense realistic. The era of hundreds of < 1 hour ICBMs, which made civil defense pointless, did not begin until the mid 1960s.

I'm old enough to remember duck-and-cover drills. We did them in my school in Short Hills, New Jersey, until 1968. I was in the second grade at the time. I never really understood why we did them and later, after I joined the Navy, that I understood that they were a complete waste of time. Short Hills is only about fifteen miles from New York, so I knew that we were dead, if the City was destroyed.

1968 I was a senior Asbury Park High in NJ. But 1955-1964 k-8th grade in Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Elementary School. And in the 60’s we hid under our desks and sometimes had to squat in the hall with the lights out. But they never told us why…we did these things. Our classrooms all had lots of glass windows. The old part of the Bldg had very tall glass windows and the newer building more rectangular windows. If a bomb had hit we would have been toast and jelly.

An old saying in the Navy is, "If you want to know something, ask a Chief." The "two-minute danger period" from radiation is true for a true airburst. In 1952, after the detonation of the first Hydrogen Bomb, "Ivy MIke", helicopter crews rushed in to retreive test samples right after the blast - before the fallout could start dropping.

Although still a possibility, IMHO, deployment of nuclear weapons, as depicted, is obsolete and highly unlikely. There's an old saying: "To the victor go the spoils". Historically, wars have been fought over land and resources. Most "victors" would hesitate spoiling the spoils (resources) unnecessarily. Then the alternative would be to use nuclear weapons to cause the least amount of spoilage possible. IMO, the best way to accomplish that goal would be by using most of the nuclear weapons arsenal as Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) weapons detonated high in the upper reaches of the Earth's atmosphere. There's no mushroom clouds, blast, or even appreciative amounts of radioactive fallout. The destruction is primarily focused on anything that relies on micro-circuitry to function. In the modern world that would cause widespread infrastructure collapse in transportation, manufacturing, and utilities. When that happens, society will surely break down into chaos. No atomic scorched earth, but just as effective. However, most people, including their political leadership, just can't wrap their heads around the concept, thus making their societies even more vulnerable.

On the other hand without civil defense/emergency preparedness most people would.
