| Abstract | In early 1960 the Emergency Measures Organization, with the assistance of the Shelter Panel, prepared and published a pamphlet giving detailed suggestions for those wishing to provide, at moderate cost, a basement shelter for the protection of their families against radioactive fallout in the event of nuclear war. The pamphlet, "Your Basement Fallout Shelter - Blueprint for Survival No. 1" contained information on ventilation, heating, cooking, and lighting based in part on considerations and estimates outlined in Technical Note No. 286 prepared by the Division of Building Research for the Shelter Panel. |
