The most expensive is the Underground Concrete Shelter. The least expensive shelter described is the Basement Concrete Block Shelter. Most people probably would need the assistance of a contractor to build any of the other four types. Solid concrete blocks are used to build it. One of the five-the Basement Concrete Block Shelter-has been designed specifically as a do-it-yourself project.

This booklet contains building plans for five basic fallout shelters. Your Federal Government has a shelter policy based on the knowledge that most of those beyond the range of blast and heat will survive if they have adequate protection from fallout. Everyone, even those far from a likely target, would need shelter from fallout. The purpose of this booklet is to show how to escape death from fallout. Many more millions-everybody else-could be threatened by radioactive fallout. In an atomic war, blast, heat, and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts.
