FEMA Fallout Shelter Management Handbook - FEMA - 59 - May 1984
"The safety and well-being of the people in this shelter
depend on capable leadership. If a civil defense shelter manager is not present, anyone seeing this handbook who has leadership experience can and should TAKE CHARGE IMMEDIATELY. This handbook provides step-by-step instructions for effective shelter operations."
FEMA - 59 - May 1984
DESCRIPTION OF THE SHELTER
In YOUR shelter, effective management can:
(1) Prevent deaths from fallout radiation, and prevent radiation sickness, anywhere in the U.S.
(2) Prevent deaths from blast effects, if your shelter is in a "risk area." (A risk area is a city of 50,000 or greater population-or a city near an important military base or industry.)
0 Shelter Management can save lives by assuring that the people in the shelter:
(1 Stay (if possible) in the basement of the shelter building-which provides the best protection against
fallout.
(2) In risk areas: - Stay in the parts of the basement that provide the best protection against blast (near the sides of the basement-not under unsupported parts of the basement's ceiling).
- Take fire prevention actions (close curtains and window blinds throughout the building) immediately after entering the shelter.
- If a nuclear explosion occurs, immediately check for burning materials throughout the building.
Stamp out smouldering curtains. Throw smouldering furniture out the window. Then return to the shelter area in the building.
( 3 ) Stay in the shelter for several days up to two weeks-when fallout levels have fallen enough that people can leave shelters..
It is a small file, only 1.52 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.
