Our risk Assessments sources include national and local record offices, aerial photography, historical maps, British Geological Survey (BGS) information and historic air raid records.
Information was gathered locally by police, air raid wardens and military personnel. They noted where, when and what types of bombs had fallen during an air raid and passed this on to the Ministry of Home Security Bomb Census Organisation where regional technical officers plotted the positions of the bombs onto maps.
These bomb plots along with the information gathered locally were passed to the Ministry of Home Security Research and Experiments Branch.
The information was digested, summarised and sometimes collated with intelligence from other sources. The reports were distributed to the Cabinet, Air Ministry, local authorities and to government departments with responsibility for civil defence.
