MORE FAMILY SHELTERS
In the event of a nuclear attack, be prepared to live in a shelter as long as two weeks, coming out for short trips only if necessary. Fallout would be most dangerous in the first two days after an attack, and even if you were inside a shelter you probably would have absorbed some radiation. Your freedom of action would depend on your radiation exposure during the critical period after the fallout descends. So, never expose yourself unnecessarily to radiation.
