SOME ASPECTS OF AN EMERGENCY MILK AND FOOD SANITATION PROGRAM

Abstract

The milk and food sanitarian plays a very important part in the planning, coordinating and expediting of a civil defense program. The maintenance of normal milk and food supply levels represents only one facet of the civil defense program. Atomic, biological, and chemical warfare will present new problems in addition to those known from high explosive and incendiary bombs. Preparatory over-all measures at state and local levels must be planned with civil defense authorities. The local sanitarian will be looked to for the detailed planning of the milk and food program.
