FEMA guide on building a fallout shelter

The Federal Emergency Management Agency published information on how to build a fallout shelter around 1957. This attractive interior of a basement family fallout shelter included a 14-day shelter food supply that may be stored indefinitely, a battery-operated radio, auxiliary light sources, a two-week supply of water, and first aid, sanitary, and other miscellaneous supplies and equipment.
