At least one potential enemy of,the United States has the capability now of delivering weapons of conventional, nuclear, biological and chemical warfare upon selected targets. 2. Other nations hostile to the democratic way of life will have a similar but lesser capa- bility if they succede in establishing basis in South and Central American countries, as thier national policy appears to dictate. They may have a capability of launching a more diversi- fied attack. 3. The State of Florida and neighboring states within early fallout range of Monroe County have a number of attractive targets for nuclear attack. Homestead Airforce Base in Dade County and the Boca Chica-Naval Station at Key West are of concern to Monroe County. 4, Severe flooding conditions and longer than usual fallout radiation conditions (because of induced radiation in the sodium component of water) -can result from a water burst in the waters surrounding the Florida Keys. E. Assumptions 1, Vulnerability a. Target proximity (1) Portabale targets of nuclear_ weapons of immediate concern to Monroe County Miami Metropolitian Area Homestead Air Force Base Key West -Boca Chica Complex b.
