Evactuation is where Men,Women,Boys and girl's at the age of 6 month's had to be evactuated. They had to stay in the underground or Air raid shelters and Morrison shelters. The Morrison shelters were something you would lay in. Air raid shelters is the outside sheleter that has grass on top and it goes very deep down undergroung you would sit in it until the ' all clear siren went off ' . The underground is a train station they would sit there day after day hours after hours waiting for the all clear siren went off .

This is incorrect. The word is "evacuation" (no 't'). It has nothing to do with air-raid shelters; it refers to a British policy, during WW2, of sending children out of cities (principally London) to stay with families in the countryside, in order that they should not be the victims of German bombing raids. The children were known as "evacuees"; in general they were welcomed and treated well. For a very funny satirical account of the system, see Evelyn Waugh's novel "Put Out More Flags".

Why did the anzacs leave?

i seriosly dont know (good work) Gallipoli was one of the wars biggest disasters. The ANZACs were being flattened, due to a combination of bad navigation, andbad handling of the situation from then on. Ironically the best part of it was when we left. We didn't lose a single man during the evactuation, but lost hundreds when we first arrived. Go figure

How do you know if a hurricane has hit your city?

Well, I think it'd be rather obvious...first of all, when you turn on the news, there'd be a bunch of "breaking news" stories about how a hurricane has hit your city. Also, there'd be a lot of evactuation warnings and whatnot, and you'd be advised to leave. Weather wise, there'd be lots and lots and lots and lots of rain, VERY strong winds, and flooding from the rain. Depending on the ferocity of the hurricane, the damage can be from just power outages to fallen trees, structures, etc, which can result in other things, such as if a power line fell or split, a fire could start. But yeah, those are the most general signs...if you feel the need to look here to see if a hurricane has hit your city, I think it's pretty safe to say that it hasn't.


Which CASEVAC priority must have evacuation take place within four hours?

There are two different kinds of triage in the military. Regular mascal triage which is performed by a senior medic or medical officer and is as follows. -REGULAR TRIAGE- Immediate/Red must be moved to a higher eschelon of care or risk loss of life limb or sight. Delayed/Yellow must be seen within a period of 4-6 hours or risk loss of life limb or sight. Minimal/Green/Walking Wounded are casualties who have been injured with an injury that may wait to be treated until all other casualties have been addressed and stabalized. Expectant/Black are casualties that are either deceased or are unlikely to survive given the medical resources present at the scene and are being treated last to allow for more effective treatment or personel who may survive. Next is the order in which they are medevaced. -PRIORITY FOR EVACTUATION- Urgent Surgical casualties will risk loss of life limb or eyesight if not in surgery within two hours. Urgent casualties will risk loss of life limb or eyesight if not in surgery within two hours. Priority casualties will risk loss of life limb or eyesight if not in surgery within four hours. Routine casualties require evacuation within the next 24 hours. TLDR:PRIORITY.

How do you know when an earthquakes is about to happen?

Thermal precursor: A few months before the occurrence of an earthquake the average temperature of the area keeps increasing. Weather report bulletins refer to temperatures above or below average by so many degrees. It is seen that in case the area is heading for an earthquake, the average temperature goes on increasing. On the day of the earthquake it is about 5 to 9 degrees Celsius above the average normal temperature for that day. This could be monitored by the meteorology department and also by thermometers inside homes.Water precursor: There is a sudden rise or fall in water level in the wells. It could be as high as one metre. Sometimes the well water may turn muddy. At times a fountain appears inside the well. All these changes happen about one or three days before the earthquake. Sometimes a fountain appears in the ground. This normally happens a few hours before the quake.Another form of water precursor is seen in the flow of riverwater. There is a sudden and rapid increase or decrease of water flow in the river or nallah. This happens about one to two days before the quake. In wells, the well water may begim to bubble.Seismo-electromagnetic precursor: This is a very reliable precursor. It occurs and is exhibited about 10 to 20 hours before the quake. Before the occurrence of an earthquake the subsurface temperature rises. As a result of this the geomagnetic field is reduced. The reduction in geomagnetic field adversely affects the propagation of electromagnetic waves. This is experienced abundantly on the radio, television and telephone.If one is tuning the radio at 1000 kHz, then the same station will be received in the potential epicentral area, about 10 to 30 hours before the quake, at higher frequencies. Maybe 1100, 1200, 1300, 1800, 1900, 2000 kHz or so.Similarly, reception on television is affected by audio, visual and spectral disturbances. The telephone's reception is also adversely affected and there is a continuous disturbance that you can hear.Apart from this, a recent reliable precursor is the mobile telephone. It has been found that about 100 to 150 minutes before the occurrence of an earthquake, mobile telephones start non functioning or malfunctioning. The timespan indicated is sufficient to take all necessary mitigatory measures.A word of caution: all the above precursors are valid only when seen and manifested extensively. Failure of one or two instruments should not be taken as a seismic precursor.Animal precursor: It is seen that 10 to 20 hours before the occurrence of an earthquake, the entire animal kingdom becomes highly disturbed and restless. They move in a directionless manner and in fear. Birds do not sit on trees but move about at a low height, emitting a shrill noise. Rodents like rats, mongooses etc are in a panic. Domestic animals like cows, dogs, cats etc struggle against being tied up, and even turn on the owner. Pandas may moan.Human precursor: Doctors and nurses observe that some sensitive patients in hospitals become highly disturbed. They exhibit a sudden rise in blood pressure, heart trouble, headache, migraine, respiratory disorders etc. Further, these psychosomatic signs are manifested without any provocation. It is also seen that the number of patients in the out-patient department increases by five to seven times, some 10 to 20 hours before the quake.The best indicator is the number of child deliveries in any hospital. On the penultimate day of the earthquake the number of deliveries goes up about three to five times, while on the day of the earthquake it is as high as seven to eight times the normalits obviously the ground shaking
