Air Raid Precautions (ARP)

Air Raid Precautions (ARP) were organized measures implemented primarily during wartime to protect civilians from air attacks. They included warning systems like sirens, blackout practices to make it harder for enemy aircraft to locate targets, the construction of air raid shelters, and training civilians on safety procedures. The goal was to minimize casualties and chaos during bombings by ensuring people knew how to respond quickly and stay safe. ARP efforts also involved coordination between government agencies, emergency services, and the public to effectively manage air raid threats.
