During An Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) announcement, if one or two are still up and running during multiple nuclear strikes a hundred or more miles from your position, it would be wise to know twenty-four hour time, which is used by airlines and the military, which starts from zero at midnight and goes through 24 hours of the day. In 24 hour time, the last two digits are the numbers (or time) past the hour. The first two digits represent the hour. The letter '0" in front of the number in 24-hr time represents AM time and AM time continues from 0900 (9:00 AM) to the 1159 hr. Then, at 1200 hr, time is now in the PM hr (See Chart).

    This is advantageous to know, as under the circumstances, the military may be operating the EBS, as many of Civil Defense Workers (FEMA) may no longer be viable! And, as such, military time may be resorted to under the stress of the developing situation warning the population of arrival times of Fallout.
    Make it to your Fallout Shelter when it is announced that Fallout is on the way! Arrival times may be given in 24–hr Time (Military).
