Page 2 April 12, 1982 Congressman Wm. Carney residents to the east, and "Whereas", there is the possibility of interference i r. evacuation by Gast end residents who choose to flee westward, and "WHereas", the WASH - 740 revision states that sheltering of people during a nuclear emergency is virtually useless due to the rapid turnover of air in most buildings, and "Whereas", weather patterns, especially winds, move from west toward oest, a nuclear accident would tend to affect the east end of Long Island more drastically than the west end, now, Therefore.

BE IT RESOLVED,'that the Town Board of the Town of Shelter Ialand hareby requests that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cause to be developed an evacuation plan for the five eastern towns and that emergency planning be conducted at the county or state level or by LILCO to include these towns in such blanning, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Town Clerk is hereby directed to for-wned certified copies of this resolution to Congressman William Carney, Senator Alfonse D'Amato, Deputy Suffolk County Executive Frank Jones, Suf-folk County Executive Peter t.
