INDIVIDUAL ACTION:
FAMILY SHELTERS
Families living in rural or sparsely settled areas may find that family shelters [as opposed to community shelters] are the only feasible solution to their fallout shelter problem. Others may have personal preferences for family shelters.
There are a number of ways to construct home shelters. Several types are shown here. All of the shelters shown here can be built with about $150 worth of materials or less. If materials, such as the lumber used in a basement lean-to shelter, are available at little or no cost, some persons could build these shelters for considerably less than $150. In all of the shelters, the danger from fallout would be at least 100 times less than to unprotected persons.
This family is building a basement compact shelter of sand-filled concrete blocks. Solid concrete blocks are used for the roof shielding, This type of shelter also could be built of brick or structural tile.
