Preparedness Planning for a Nuclear Crisis
A Citizens Guide to Civil Defense and Self-Protection
FEMA document HS - 4 - March 1987
The LAST FEMA public document for the average American, on how to survive NUCLEAR WAR. Very interesting, very deep, and well, very in-depth.
It is a BIG file, over 8 meg is size. You must have acrobat reader to view and print.
The Appendix is now INCLUDED in the full document, and has several expedient fallout shelter plans included.
The appendix file is slightly over 15 pages, and has plans for four expedient shelters and expedient bucket stove, grain grinder, air ventilation fan, and lanterns for lighting your shelter with safe household items.
This digital version of the book may be the only place in the world you may be able to find it, unless you work for FEMA, large library systems, or larger emergency management agencies. I plead with you to download and print it out, read it, and file it in a safe place. It covers nuclear preparedness, fallout shelter (everything!!), evacuation, and much more...a good multi-threat overview as well.
The rest of the book is COMPLETE and OCRed, and includes ALL graphics as the real live book has.
Comments welcome on it. A welcome addition to the genre of nuclear survival...from the leading proponent of survival in the world....FEMA.
As long as the terrorists of the world threaten their enemies with WMD, including nukes, you NEED this info somewhere where you can be prepared, just in case.

* Why is this document no longer free? FEMA HS4, has been downloaded tens of thousands of times from my website in the last 4 years (averaging over 5000 times a month), and at 8.5 megabytes each time, it has used up a huge amount of bandwidth and processing time on my web server. I have also spent thousands of dollars purchasing more original civil defense documents JUST LIKE this one, and have scores of them online and freely downloadable, with hundreds more still to digitize.
Only a few of my projects, such as this one, will be requiring this very small payment, to help cover the cost of my investment for every one's future...and only the largest files that consume the most space and bandwidth will have this small charge. If you won't help with this small investment in your survival, how can you expect me to keep paying for it as I have for nearly 10 years? Think about it.
It only takes a moment of your time, and the cost of HALF of a decent hamburger, to help YOU learn how to survive even in the WORST of times.
