"Duck and Cover" Video

What is the overt message?
The overt message is instructions on what to do if an atomic bomb is about to hit.

What is the covert message?
There is no covert message, because this video is not quite propaganda. It is meant to be informative in nature.

Is this propaganda or persuasion? 
I don't think it is either. I don't see any message that the video is trying to convince people of, nor is  there any below-the-surface message that would make it propaganda. I think the video is just trying to instruct children in a memorable way what to do if an atomic bomb hits.
