1-16-040 Civil defense participation limitations.

   Recognizing the futility of civil defense against nuclear war and its ensuing radioactive contamination, the city declares that planning for or participating in civil defense programs purporting to prepare for nuclear attack is futile and dangerous. Therefore, the city will not participate in any civil defense or population evacuation program exclusively intended to be implemented upon the outbreak or threatened outbreak of nuclear hostilities.

   Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or limit any other type of civil defense or emergency preparedness program.
