What is evactuation?
Evactuation is where Men,Women,Boys and girl's at the age of 6 month's had to be evactuated. They had to stay in the underground or Air raid shelters and Morrison shelters. The Morrison shelters were something you would lay in. Air raid shelters is the outside sheleter that has grass on top and it goes very deep down undergroung you would sit in it until the ' all clear siren went off ' . The underground is a train station they would sit there day after day hours after hours waiting for the all clear siren went off . By E.J.Woodruff This is incorrect. The word is "evacuation" (no 't'). It has nothing to do with air-raid shelters; it refers to a British policy, during WW2, of sending children out of cities (principally London) to stay with families in the countryside, in order that they should not be the victims of German bombing raids. The children were known as "evacuees"; in general they were welcomed and treated well. For a very funny satirical account of the system, see Evelyn Waugh's novel "Put Out More Flags".

How did people know when air raids were going to happen?
Before an air raid began two warnings were sounded - amber (yellow), then red alert. When it was safe to leave air raid shelters and walk about an 'all clear' signal was sounded.They were alerted by the sound of the sirens, which are used nowadays as signals to tell factory-workers that their shift is finished.
What was air raid sirens in world war 2?
Go out and buy a World War 2 documentary. I remember once as a child hearing the air raid sirens all go off in wakefield, UK. Yes you could go and buy a video from world war two, you could search 'carter air raid siren' on the web... Carter being the UK air raid siren, and that will be close. It is a two tone siren that raises and falls in pitch, but they do not have the effects caused by space, there are some Doppler effects from sirens further away, and the whole effect is more mournful than you can imagine, stood in the streets very late at night with this siren wailing from our local town hall, the echos from the town and village halls in surrounding areas..... and other small groups of people stood in silence apart from the wailing of the sirens.

Why did people hide in air raid shelters?
Becuase during WW2, there was a lot of threat from bombs which could fall on houses and towns. Air raid shelters were built as underground rooms in back gardens on in tube stations all over the country so that when the air raid siren went off, signalling bombs, people could hide underground, where they would be much safer. If someone was in a house when a bomb fell, when the house would collapse on them it would possibly cause more damadge than if they were underground, beneath a shelter which was lightweight and wouldn't hurt you if it collapsed. People then would only be killed in the bomb landed directly on op of the air shelter, which was rather unlikely.
