Official notice by the Mayor of Baltimore and the city’s recently-convened Committee on Civilian Defense, issued three weeks after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. The notice alerts Baltimore residents of the possible use of air raid signals in the event of a bombing, as well as procedures to follow in the event of an air raid or blackout. Howard W. Jackson served as Baltimore’s mayor for four non-consecutive terms which ended in 1943. Though Baltimore was a well-established center of industry for the Mid-Atlantic region before World War II, Jackson is credited with refocusing the city’s factories and plants on civil defense and war production during the early 1940s.
