FEMA - Underground Home Fallout and Tornado Shelter Plan...high quality OCR Scan
Plans and blue prints for building an underground shelter
FEMA - H-12-4.0 = October 1987
DESCRIPTION OF THE SHELTER
This protective shelter is designed to serve as
a family fallout shelter and is suitable for other
utilitarian purposes as well-including use as a
tornado shelter and everyday functions of the
residence. The shelter is designed for placement in
the yard and primarily is for houses without
basements.
To function as a fallout shelter, it is designed to
have a protection factor (PF) of at least 40, which is
the minimum standard of protection for family and
public shelters recommended by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The belowground
location of the shelter also will provide some
protection against blast and fire effects of a nuclear
explosion.
In regions of the nation where tornadoes are
common. The roof structure of the shelter is
suitably strong to resist the most severe tornadoes,
and the belowground location provides protection
for occupants from wind-blown debris and even
from possible collapse of nearby buildings.
It is a small file, only 5.85 meg is size. You must have acrobat reader to view and print.
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 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? This file has been downloaded tens of thousands of times from my website in the last 4 years (averaging over 5000 times a month), and 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 requireing 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.
