Abstract: The need for, and importance of, emergency preparedness and planning cannot be overemphasized. While all of us share in the hope thai we will never have to face the possibility of a serious national emergency, this does not rule out the fact that we could be attacked. And how well we prepare now could spell the difference between survival and defeat, especially in the event of a nuclear attack. To meet this situation, the President of the United States, in February 1962, by Executive Order, specifically assigned to the Secretary of the Interior the responsibility for preparing national emergency plans and developing preparedness programs covering petroleum and gas. The Emergency and Gas Administration, established by the Secretary of the Interior in 1963, marked the culmination of a growing awareness that this sort of approach was the most effective way in which to carry out these plans.
