Disaster Defense Plan
CJTF SEVEN No. 1-54
personnel and items of material.
e.
CTG 7.5 will:
(1) On ENIWETOK ATOLL, provide protective measures for all person-
nel located north of PARRY ISLAND.
(2) In coordination with Headquarters Commandant, JTF SEVEN, pro-
vide protection for all personnel on PARRY ISLAND.
(3) Assist CTG 7.1 in the evacuation of designated key scientific
personnel and items of material.
(4) Provide protective measures for personnel on BIKINI ATOLL.
g.
Upon the announcement by ATCOM, ENIWETOK, of the imminent approach
of a tidal wave, all personnel will immediately proceed in an orderly
manner to designated assembly areas.
This mst be done quickly due to
the enormous speed of advance of the tidal wave and the necessarily
short warning notice that can be given preceding the arrival of a tidal
wave. The islands in the northern part of both ENIWETOK and BIKINI
ATOLLS are very low lying, being only one or two feet above sea level
at extreme high tide. The southern islands, such as PARRY, ENIWETOK,
BIKINI and ENYU, are slightly higher. All personnel should go to these
islands if time permits and if there is adequate time and the situation
warrants such action all personnel will be evacuated aboard ship or
aircraft.
