Precautions to be Taken by Citizens in War Time / What is it and What it Means, Frederick J. Johnst
The pamphlet Precautions to be Taken by Citizens in War Time by Frederick J. Johnston, published in 1915, offers guidance to the public on how to prepare and act during wartime. While specific details about this particular pamphlet are limited, it aligns with the broader context of civil defense literature produced during World War I.
During this period, governments issued various publications to inform citizens about wartime measures. For instance, in Canada, the War Measures Act was enacted in 1914, granting the government emergency powers to ensure national security during the war. This act led to the implementation of various measures, including the internment of certain ethnic groups and the establishment of military censorship.
Similarly, in the United States, the government released materials like Survival Under Atomic Attack in 1951, which provided instructions on how to protect oneself during a nuclear attack. While this publication is from a later period, it reflects the ongoing efforts to educate the public on civil defense.
These publications served to prepare citizens for the challenges of wartime, offering advice on topics such as rationing, air raid precautions, and maintaining morale. They were part of a broader strategy to involve the public in the war effort and ensure national security.
